Jill Biden revealed to The New York Times reporter Katie Rogers what Joe told her following the debate. Rogers queried Jill at a Biden campaign fundraising event in the Hamptons on Friday. “You know, Jill, I don’t know what happened. I didn’t feel that great.” Biden reportedly told the first lady, according to an X post by Rogers. Jill responded, “Look, Joe, we are not going to let 90 minutes define the four years that you’ve been President.” Biden has not been cagey around acknowledging his poor performance on Thursday night. Biden told a crowd in North Carolina on Friday that he knows he’s “not a young man,” and went on to acknowledge other signs of his age, “I don’t walk as easy as I used to. I don’t walk as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to.” Biden added, “But I know what I do know—I know how to tell the truth, I know right from wrong, and I know how to do this job.”Read it at Daily MailRead more at The Daily Beast.

It might still only be June, so not technically half-way through the year, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t ready to see roundups of some of the best books of 2024 so far. Barnes & Noble released a slate of picks earning the honor so far in 2024.

Like a bingeworthy Netflix series that asks, "Are you still watching?" a good mystery series or collection can achieve the same effect. First published in 2015, Ruth Ware is an international number-one best-selling author. Her multi-genre thriller novels have garnered a large readership as they explore common themes of deception, mystery, and survival while serving up savory whodunnit premises. Writing from Brighton, United Kingdom, Ware's novels are told from the perspective of a central female character and take place across varying landscapes in the UK.

The Most Popular Bookish News of the Week

Welcome to Today in Books, where we report on literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more. You’re expecting this to be a story about the latest TikTok romantasy hit, aren’t you? The clock app may be hogging headlines with stories about dragon riders who do it, but it’s Freida McFadden’s thrillers that are dominating bestseller lists. McFadden, a physician who writes under a pseudonym to protect her relationship with her patients, self-published for a decade before signing a deal with Sourcebooks’s Poisoned Pen Press. Her 23 (!) books have sold more than 6 million copies, making her the fastest-selling thriller writer in the U.S., outpacing heavy hitters James Patterson, David Baldacci, and John Grisham, who all show up beneath her on current sales charts. The New York Times‘s Alexandra Alter details McFadden’s rise in a new profile, which also hints at fascinating tidbits about Sourcebooks’s strategy. Now, my kingdom for a piece about the enduring appeal of the self-pub-to-traditional-deal pipeline.

People have different levels of maturity. An individual’s age or upbringing can make them possess certain traits. Yet, most people believe that one matures as they grow old. On the contrary, some zodiac signs appear childish in old age. They are jumpy and careless. This strains their relationships with signs who misunderstand them. Air and fire signs are temperamental and some people refer to them as being childish. How can you identify an immature sign?

This is the first of a trilogy that follows two outcast classmates who befriend each other and end up raising a daughter under unusual circumstances. Truths surface that were meant to be buried forever. This book is part mystery, love story and family drama. It is a fast read, and I cannot wait for the sequels.

For once, this bestseller list is fairly different from last week’s. Some of the reigning champs, like Funny Story by Emily Henry, have fallen to only being on three of the five biggest lists. Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez went from being on all five lists last week to not making this round up at all. We also have a few new releases, including Eruption, which is based on notes by Michael Crichton and written by James Patterson — put those two powerhouse author names together and you have an easy win. The movie rights are already in a bidding war.

Any genre of books reads well in the summer, but I am partial to reading what’s widely regarded as “beach reads” in the summer. What counts as beach-friendly reading can vary by person, of course, but many beach and summer reading lists have some variety of romances and mystery/thrillers. I decided to focus on the mystery/thriller aspect of beach reading with today’s BIPOC roundup, which includes books that will take you from 1970s Pennsylvania to prestigious boarding schools in the UK.
