Dear My Borders Monthly readers,
We hope you enjoy the fresh new design of your My Borders email this month. As part of the redesign, we've added new links and features and streamlined the presentation of your favorite categories. You may also notice that one of the subjects you receive is missing. Starting with this issue, we've eliminated the Eclectic Taste music subject as a My Borders Monthly offering. You can still sign up to receive a variety of other music subjects, however, like New & Noteworthy Music, Classical, Jazz, and Pop/Rock to get your fix. And of course, if you're looking for more of your favorite categories, simply browse our website www.bordersstores.com. Thank you for reading My Borders Monthly.

Twilight Trilogy in Spanish
Stephenie Meyer's highly popular young-adult novels of teenage vampires and werewolves are now available in Spanish-language editions. The saga began with Twilight (Crepúsculo), continued with New Moon (Luna Nueva), and culminated fantastically in Eclipse. In the gray and hazy setting of the Pacific Northwest, teenager Isabella Swan met the Cullen family—benevolent vampires living in secret—and fell in love with Edward Cullen. By Eclipse, Bella reaches graduation and is confronted with a test of her loyalties: Are they with Edward, or with her best friend, Jacob, a werewolf?

expressly
delicious
The sumptuous dishes found in Nigella Lawson's cookbooks, and the inviting, evocative anecdotes that precede them, prove that the British cook is not one to hasten her time at the stove. Sometimes, however, as Lawson points out in Nigella Express, the demands of work, family, and daily life make spending a happy hour in the kitchen impossible. This collection provides simple and utterly flavorful options for fast dinners, impromptu entertaining, portable meals, and dishes made from the pantry stash.

her secret service
Valerie Plame Wilson worked in covert operations with the CIA for more than 20 years until her identity was leaked by the Bush Administration to a reporter. In a flash, her career was over and her top-secret work life became the subject of endless debate in the national spotlight. In Fair Game, Wilson tells her story, her way, from her first days at CIA training through the aftermath of her blown cover.

Beau regarded
"The
job so many dogs really perform," writes Anna Quindlen in Good
Dog. Stay., a poignant memoir about her Labrador retreiver
Beau, "is to allow us to project our feelings upon them, to assume they
are excited... or lonely when we are." She writes tenderly but not
patronizingly about the steadfast companion whose daily life offered
lessons. As Quindlen puts it, "When I talk about him I'm really talking
about me, about us, about our family, about our life together."

to err is human
To
assemble the eye-opening anecdotes that make up If I Only Knew Then, actor, writer, and commentator Charles Grodin asked more than 80 friends
and "friends of friends" to share the biggest mistakes they've made and
the lessons learned from them. Even celebrities screw up; in revealing
their human sides, figures such as Alan Alda, Robert
Redford, and Rosie O'Donnell offer valuable
insights. Proceeds from this book will be donated to HELP
U.S.A., a national not-for-profit organization empowering the homeless
to be self-reliant.

destination:
Latin America
Birds do it—why don't you? Travel south for the winter, that is. Soon after the frost is on the pumpkin, balmy getaways are on the mind. From México south to Panamá, a spectrum of tantalizing destinations awaits. Lounge on the shore (Atlantic or Pacific), trek through cloud forests, explore volcanoes, learn from ancient ruins, or encounter breathtaking plants and animals. This month, look for books, music, and movies about Latin American "hot" spots featured at your local Borders store, such as Lonely Planet's Nicaragua & El Salvador, Fodor's Puerto Vallarta 2008, or Frommer's Belize.

the
wonders of winter
We're
excited to bring you two new snowy picture books, created by artists
famous for pushing the envelope of picture book illustration. In Winter
in White, Robert Sabuda, the world's most famous pop-up artist,
delivers a lovely three-dimensional homage to the coldest season, celebrating
the little things: dancing snow, a skate's blade on ice, a sled speeding
down a hill.
First Snow in the Woods
is another masterpiece of wildlife photography by Carl R. Sams II and Jean
Stoick, the creators of the New York Times bestseller Stranger
in the Woods.
As autumn turns to winter, the animals prepare for the season's first
storm.

while
we sleep
For
children, night is a mysterious time, largely unknown. Here are two delightful
new board books set in the magical wee hours. Snowmen
at Night, Caralyn and Mark Buehner's bestselling picture book
about snowmen cavorting while we sleep, has just been remade into a board book.
The snowmen race, have snowball fights, sip "ice cold chocolate," and
slide back home before dawn.
In Rob Scotton's Go
to Sleep, Russell the Sheep,
a simpler version of the picture book Russell the
Sheep,
which won the Borders Original Voices Award for Picture Books, the hilariously
adorable Russell can't sleep. What can an insomniac sheep count?

Peter
Pan's early years
Pulitzer
Prize-winning humorist Dave Barry and renowned thriller writer Ridley
Pearson met as members of the Rock Bottom Remainders, a notoriously
horrendous rock band that includes such literary luminaries as Stephen
King, Amy Tan, and Matt Groening. The two decided to
collaborate on a Peter Pan prequel, a book that would tell the back story
of Never Land, Tinker Bell, and all the rest. The result was the acclaimed Peter
and the Starcatchers. The two writers had so much fun that they
decided to create a trilogy. Peter and the Shadow
Thieves came next. And now Pearson and Barry present their
action-packed finale,
Peter and the Secret of Rundoon,
complete with flying carpets, a man-eating snake, and more.
