Off the Shelf: With Fall Publishing Season Upon Us, Look for Biggest Book Releases to be Around Corner

By Sharon Saye on September 08, 2021 from Off the Shelf

With Labor Day over, the fall publishing season is upon us.  Book publishers usually save their biggest releases for this season since the holidays and book gift giving is fast approaching.  That is why regular book afficionados notice that new books by big name authors usually appear in the September-November months to make sure they are on bookstore shelves before Thanksgiving. 
 
This year we have quite a few name authors providing their readers with new choices.  Sally Rooney’s highly anticipated novel, ‘Beautiful World, Where Are You” follows two women and their friendship through the years.  The early reviews are extremely positive. 
           
Lisa Jewell returns with another thriller, “The Night She Disappeared,” that concerns the aftereffects of the disappearance of 19-year-old Tallulah and her boyfriend.  “Gods, No Monsters” by Cadwell Turnbull is a horror novel in which monsters are real.  “The Inheritance of Orquidea Divina” by Zoraida Cordova brings a family together to collect an inheritance, but it isn’t what they expect. 
           
Liane Moriarty fans can rejoice with her latest novel, “Apples Never Fall,” when a retired couple find their peaceful life upended by the appearance of a strange woman in need of help.   Colson Whitehead also returns with “Harlem Shuffle” about two friends living in Harlem in the 1960s whose occasional foray into crime escalates. 
           
Colm Toibin looks at the life of another modern writer in “The Magician” about Thomas Mann.  Lauren Groff moves from her usual genre into historical novels with “Matrix” about a young woman exiled to a convent in the 12th century.  “The Book of Magic” by Alice Hoffman concludes the cycle of the Owens family when they must finally break the curse their family has been under for centuries. 
           
Amor Towles newest novel is also highly anticipated.  “The Lincoln Highway” follows its heroes across America in 1954.  Louise Erdrich imagines ghosts and a bookstore in “The Sentence.” 
           
And Diana Gabaldon finally ends the seven-year wait for the next volume in her bestselling Outlander series, "Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone."  Set in 1779, Jamie and Claire face the reality of the Revolutionary War on Fraser’s Ridge. 
           
Most of these books have already been ordered and are listed in the online catalog so you can place holds until they are published.
