We’re in the thick of the fall publishing season and it’s a crowded one. So this thread is for folks to share their favorite releases, whether it’s your own book (toot your own horn!!) or a friend’s or just something that strikes your fancy. Drop your favorite Fall 2020 release(s) in the comments below, then share this thread with other readers/writers/launching authors!
The launch season for a book can have a powerful impact on an author’s sales. And the fourth quarter is critical to indie bookstores (and all small businesses). With production and shipping delays looming, it’s important to order books sooner rather than later. So pre-order your faves, add them to your TBR, and spread the love.
- I just got my copy of Nicole Tsong's new 24 WAYS TO MOVE MORE and already it makes me want to challenge myself and get moving outside while the weather holds!
- I am over the moon excited to read C.L. Polk's THE MIDNIGHT BARGAIN as I loved WITCHMARK
- I've been following ANA ON THE EDGE's author A.J. Sass on Twitter and can't wait to see this book finally on the shelves.
Tx Allison. I'm getting out the word about an indie picture book ages 4 to 9 about an African elephant born with yellow stripes. It's a sweet book about not fearing differences written by my 88 year old (!) friend Lois Mirsky. Special Stripes is available on request in local stores or online. Personally, I'm enjoying Waking Up White and want recommendations for a next eye-opening racial justice book.
I just finished Atomic Love by Jennie Fields and hope others will love it like I did. Science, love, and espionage and a heroine I loved from the start. Set in 1950s Chicago.
Looking forward to debut author Sarah McCraw Crow's The Wrong Kind of Woman, just released. The quote that hooked me, from Amy Meyerson, author of The Bookshop of Yesterdays is, “McCraw Crow deftly navigates the campus and national politics of the ’70s in a way that remains timely and pressing today. A powerful, thought-provoking debut.”
Told through alternating perspectives, The Wrong Kind of Woman is an engrossing story about finding the strength to forge new paths, beautifully woven against the rapid changes of the early ’70s.
Thanks Allison! Really like your newsletter today, self care is important, and we need a reminder sometimes. So I'm releasing my first novel, paranormal fantasy romance, the first of a series. Don't know why it's not available for pre-order yet, was supposed to happen yesterday. But it will be up this week💎🌹 the Diamond Rose, a Sentinel 10 novel. Details and preview chapters at sentinel 10.ca
Hi all. My new book, "So Much More than a Headache: Understanding Migraine through Literature," is centered around themes of invisibility of migraine, the experience itself, and the stigma of the disease. The renowned authors, poets, playwrights, and essayists will surprise you. Each is either a migraineur or creates characters or personas who are. I was interviewed yesterday and told at the beginning of the interview that she couldn't put it down and sobbed three times because these writers articulate what she can't about this disease and what no one else seems to understand. The book is targeted to migraineurs, friends and family, and health care professionals, as well as the general public, who will gain empathy for those suffering with this chronic disease.
I'll share a few!
