Oodles of books this week, many longlisted for awards and others bestsellers. And the topics are wide-ranging: non-fiction and fiction, plus one cookbook for delicious simple desserts. Also! Many fall capsule wardrobe finds as promised that are trends worth investing in, and at wonderfully reasonable prices. There are three films of note, each premiering today, one an adaptation of a film first debuting in 1979 based on a bestselling book published in 1901, the other takes us New York City and the other documentary is drawing applause.
