Reading Recommendations from Madeline McIntosh When you’re the CEO of the biggest publishing company in the country, you’ve got a pretty long to-be-read list! Our fearless leader/reader, Madeline McIntosh, gives us a peek at some of her favorite books. The Great Believers By Rebecca Makkai This was my absolute favorite novel of 2018, and I’m still recommending it whenever I get a chance. I was slow to pick it up originally because I thought the topic sounded too sad, but, one chapter in, I found I couldn’t stop reading, and I really never wanted it to end… READ MORE ▸ Purchase From Other Retailers ▸ Normal People By Sally Rooney You might have heard about this author already, described by many as one of the most exciting talents of her (millennial) generation. Those accolades might make you think that if you’re over thirty you won’t like her novels, but nothing could be further from the truth… READ MORE ▸ Purchase From Other Retailers ▸ Notes from a Young Black Chef By Kwame Onwuachi with Joshua David Stein Onwuachi’s path from the Bronx to the elite culinary world is an extraordinary one. Along for the ride, we find ourselves witness not only to his education as a chef, but also his journey as a black man whose odds of success seemed at times slim… READ MORE ▸ Purchase From Other Retailers ▸ The Art of Gathering By Priya Parker It’s not just because the jacket is so pretty that I love this book (but that doesn’t hurt). I am one of those introverts who’s regularly put in ‘social’ situations (meetings, conferences, dinners, and so on). Whether you’re like me, or a natural social butterfly, or a consummate networker, or mixed up somewhere in the middle, I promise you’ll get something from Priya’s advice… READ MORE ▸ Purchase From Other Retailers ▸ Food52 Genius Recipes By Kristen Miglore The genius of this book lies in its excellent curation of recipes from a diverse set of expert cooks—sort of like a ‘greatest hits’ album, but one you don’t have to be embarrassed to love… READ MORE ▸ Purchase From Other Retailers ▸ Dreyer's English By Benjamin Dreyer This is a bestselling book about grammar, usage, and style. Really! I love this in part because Benjamin, the author, is a longtime treasured colleague. I also love it because I wish everyone could be guided by his unfussy wit and wisdom. Purchase From Other Retailers ▸ Rumple Buttercup: A Story of Bananas, Belonging, and Being Yourself By Matthew Gray Gubler While this book had been recommended to me by colleagues, it wasn’t until Olivia, the six-year-old daughter of one of those colleagues, walked into my office (which is filled with books), instantly zeroed in on a copy of this one, and clutched it to her heart that I really paid attention… READ MORE ▸ Purchase From Other Retailers ▸ Madeline By Ludwig Bemelmans I’ve always loved this brave and spunky heroine. Seventy-five years post-publication, the illustrations of Parisian street scenes are as charming as ever, and Madeline herself holds up very well in the face of bad guys, tigers, mice, and an appendectomy.

She also shares a few of her own photographs of this romantic and unforgettable setting. I’ve had a deep and abiding love for Cornwall since I was fourteen years old and spent a glorious summer on a friend’s farm roaming and riding through the Cornish countryside. Could one want a more romantic setting? Cornwall has everything—lush, verdant woods, dark copses of evergreens, bleak moors where you half-expect to hear the howl of a wolf, a stunning coastline with soft, sandy beaches, and exhilarating coastal walks above breathtaking cliffs and headlands. Much of The Mister is set in this beautiful county, from a dramatic seascape to the bucolic idyll of a vast and flourishing country estate. My inspiration was the North Cornwall coast, charming small towns like Padstow and Wadebridge, and Lanhydrock House, a splendid neo-Gothic stately home near Bodmin maintained by the National Trust. Cornwall’s air is clear and fresh, and the light, especially beside the Atlantic Ocean, is magical—even in the worst of storms. It’s no wonder so many artists flock to the county hoping to capture its beauty. I would encourage anyone who hasn’t been to Cornwall to come and visit all these places. You won’t be disappointed.
