Reality television meets This Old House: in Trading Spaces, the television show, a couple of couples get a thousand bucks per to decorate each other's homes. Sound bizarre? The book version is even more so: decorating hints are interspersed with anecdotes about what really happened when the camera wasn't rolling. Anne Rice move over, Laurell K. Hamilton's Vampire Hunter series is gaining some serious ground. The gorgeously titled Cerulean Sins is the 11th novel in Hamilton's Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series. It debuts in the number five spot on this week's January list. Those with a penchant for light reading had best give The Da Vinci Code a miss. In this latest thriller from Dan Brown (Angels and Demons; Deception Point) symbiologists, cryptologists and curators run amok and rampant all through The Da Vinci Code and it all works splendidly: unless you're not fond of words with a lot of syllables or fiction with a lot of ideas. Queen Noor of Jordan's memoir, Leap of Faith: Memoirs of an Unexpected Life, could not have come at a better time. Among other things, in Leap of Faith, the modern Grace Kelley puts a human face on the Arab world. The little essay that could: if Robert Kagan's Of Paradise and Power seems rather like the Coles Notes on world power, there's a reason. The deep thoughts in this slender book first appeared as an article in the June/July 2002 issue of Policy Review. Kagan's essay has been expanded and fleshed out for the book version.
