The feast is an old tradition from France called <em>reveillon</em>, and it's something to look forward to after a long day of fasting.<p>"They'll have a huge feast, with sweets and lobster and oysters, everything," says Thomas Naylor, executive chef to the Canadian ambassador to the U.S. "But in Quebec, at least, you'll always have tourtiere.

He was 77 years old.<p>Tom and his brother, Ray, became famous as "Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers" on the weekly NPR show <em>Car Talk</em>. They bantered, told jokes, laughed and sometimes even gave pretty good advice to listeners who called in with their car troubles.<p>If there was one thing that defined Tom Magliozzi, it was his laugh.

Think again. This week two different sets of authors sent open letters to their "readers" urging them to take one side or the other in the ongoing controversy.<p>It all began when the publisher and Amazon were unable to reach an agreement on ebook prices.

She was 86. Born in St. Louis in 1928, Angelou grew up in a segregated society that she worked to change during the civil rights era. Angelou, who refused to speak for much of her childhood, revealed the scars of her past in <em>I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings</em>, the first of a series of memoirs.<p>Growing up in St. Louis, Mo., and Stamps, Ark., she was Marguerite Johnson. It was her brother who first called her Maya, and the name stuck.

Gibney's been working in restaurants since he was young. In his new book, <em>Sous Chef,</em> Gibney tries to capture the rhythm of the kitchen by taking his readers through one day in the life of a fast-paced New York restaurant.<p>Writing is a new affair for Gibney, but cooking is his first love. He got his start in the restaurant business as a kid, washing dishes.

But, according to <a href="http://www.pewinternet.org/2014/03/13/library-engagement-typology/">a new report by the Pew Research Internet Project</a>, you'd be wrong.<p>Pew has been studying the changing role of libraries in America in the digital age.

Mengestu is known for his novels about the immigrant experience in this country, but this book, <em>All Our Names</em>, is something of a departure. Much of the story unfolds in Africa and there are two narrators: One is a young man who flees violence and revolution to seek refuge in America, the other is a white woman who has never left the Midwest.<p>In the past, Mengestu says, his novels have dealt with the rupture and sense of loss that accompanies migration.

VIDA tallies the gender of authors whose books are being reviewed as well as the gender of those doing the reviewing.<p>The VIDA numbers have changed very little over the last four years.

Swoon Reads: The Next Romance Bestseller, Selected By You http://www.kplu.org/post/swoon-reads-next-romance-bestseller-selected-you The rise of self-publishing has already catapulted a few lucky writers to the top of bestseller lists. And major publishing houses often try to woo these stars into their fold. Swoon Reads, a new young adult romance publisher, is taking this dance a step further.

The giant online retailer seems to have its hands in all aspects of the business, from publishing books to selling them — and that has some in the book world wondering if there is any end to Amazon's influence.<p>Publishers have a problem when it comes to discussing Amazon: They may fear its power, but they are also dependent on it, because like it or not, Amazon sells a lot of books.
