Susan Orlean has a lifetime of stories to tell. Her writing credentials include The New Yorker (22 years as staff writer), Vogue, Rolling Stone, Esquire and numerous nonfiction books. Shaped by a relentless curiosity and uncanny ability to dive deeply into any topic, Orlean now brings her immense writing talents to her own memoir, Joyride: A Memoir. Readers get a glimpse into her writing process, as well as a bird’s eye look at her major stories. Her life is as exciting as the stories she’s covered, and she’s covered some wild ones. A perfect gift for someone who loves The New Yorker magazine style and enjoys quirky and personal storytelling.

There’s still time to grab great gifts off the shelves at Queen Anne Book Company and other independent bookstores! Please keep in mind that the inventory listed online at many bookstores’ sites only updates once a day, so if there’s something you really want for under the tree, speaking to a bookseller is the best way to check stock. Deliveries are still arriving through Christmas Eve at many shops, too, so some books that aren’t currently on the shelves might arrive via Christmas miracle. Your bookseller friends can help you find something wonderful, even at the last minute.
