NPR Books Watch — 7/18-7/24
I got locked out of my computer this morning (actually, last night), apparently because I accidentally typed in the wrong password. Probably on account of us having to change our passwords every six months and my not remembering what the heck I changed it to. But it’s all good. Until the next time I forget my password.

Here are the NPR interviews for this week. Anyone who emails me the imprints of all the books listed (or houses if no imprint is available) will win the NPR Books Grid for the prior week that includes, in addition to the information below, interviewer, pub date, imprint, post-interview Amazon ranking, pre-interview ranking (if the book was mentioned on Shelf Awareness and I was able to look up the number before the interview), and interview hyperlink.
