Girth Radio Presents…

My weekly collection of new and notable books for your pop culture pleasure and edification: #ReadMoreTweetLess.

If It Bleeds by Stephen King (Scribner Books; Fiction on sale April 20, 2020): Stephen King’s 62nd book! Good luck starting a writing career this week. Look it’s Stephen King so you’re either gonna read this or you ain’t. #NewBookAlert for April 20, 2020.

The Soul of an Entrepreneur: Work and Life Beyond the Startup Myth by David Sax (PublicAffairs; Handle Yo’Business on sale April 21, 2020): As we’ve been debating the best way to assist small businesses we should probably define entrepreneurship. David Sax’s latest book The Soul of an Entrepreneur: Work and Life Beyond the Startup Myth follows up his most excellent The Revenge of Analog: Real Things and Why They Matter. Highly Recommended Reading. #NewBookAlert for April 21, 2020.

Three years ago I started thinking about a book on what it's like to work for yourself. A few hundred interviews, and months of writing later, I got The Soul of an Entrepreneur. Officially published today. https://t.co/qnNK2xDWPM

I’m Your Huckleberry: A Memoir by Val Kilmer (Simon & Schuster; Hollywood on sale April 21, 2020): Tales from the Iceman! Val Kilmer’s memoir I’m Your Huckleberry is out and we’re not gonna talk about this? What no book club? It’s Val Kilmer!! (This’ll be reduced to worthless TMZ gossip but ignore all that crap. Dude’s a fine writer.) #NewBookAlert for April 22, 2020.

"Cher says that I remain adorable but Cher says that to lots of guys…"

In @valkilmer's new memoir, the legendary actor shares stories behind his iconic roles, star-studded career and love life, and truth of his recent health struggles. Out April 21!https://t.co/HMyJADdZyc pic.twitter.com/2LweZrX0Dm

Devoted by Dean Kootnz (Thomas & Mercer; Fiction on sale March 31, 2020): New Dean Koontz! Look it’s Dean Koontz so you’re either gonna read this or you ain’t. #NewBookAlert for April 23, 2020.

Next Tuesday, my new novel, Devoted will also be available in audio. Do you have a favorite format? pic.twitter.com/o54vrmDpmi

How to Be an Artist by Jerry Saltz (Riverhead Books; Handle Yo’Business on sale March 10, 2019): Everyday you make a decision to work or not to work. To be creative or to be lazy. This is not a guilt trip; rather it’s gratitude. Because we have the freedom and ability to emotionally risk so much. What do you want to create today? #NewBookAlert for April 24, 2020.
