Dark Academia isn’t a genre I read often, but I am fascinated by the evolution of language, so this one caught my attention.

Expected Release Date: October 2022
I know almost nothing about this book. There isn’t even a goodreads description. I came across it when I was browsing new releases, and the title was enough to tell me I have to read it.

Release Date: 9/15/22
It’s no secret that I love Greek Mythology retellings. I also love seeing a story from the “villains” perspective. I can’t wait to see this take on Medusa’s story.

Release Date: 8/2/22
I love the concept of this book. Book eaters are a secret line of people who eat books and retain the information. Sounds perfect for anyone who loves devouring books.

Fourteen Days: An Unathorized Gathering
Release date: 11/1/22
No cover has been revealed yet, but here is the description:
One week into the COVID-19 shutdown, tenants of a Lower East Side apartment building in Manhattan have begun to gather on the rooftop and tell stories. With each passing night, more and more neighbors gather, bringing chairs and milk crates and overturned pails. Gradually the tenants—some of whom have barely spoken to each other—become real neighbors. In this Decameron-like serial novel, general editor Margaret Atwood, Authors Guild president Douglas Preston, and a star-studded list of contributors create a beautiful ode to the people who couldn’t get away from the city when the pandemic hit. A dazzling, heartwarming collection, Fourteen Days reveals how beneath the horrible loss and suffering, some communities managed to become stronger.
Includes writing from:
Margaret Atwood, Douglas Preston, Celeste Ng, Emma Donoghue, Dave Eggers, John Grisham, Diana Gabaldon, Ishmael Reed,Meg Wolitzer, Luis Alberto Urrea, James Shapiro, Sylvia Day, Mary Pope Osborne, Monique Truong, Hampton Sides, R. L. Stine, R. O. Kwon,David Byrne, Louise Erdrich, Neil Gaiman, Rachel Kushner, Candace Bushnell, Nora Roberts, Scott Turow, Tommy Orange, and more!
I think the description says it all. So many great authors!

Release Date: 9/6/22
I love the Lady Julia Grey novels, but haven’t read any of Raybourn’s other series, despite many recommendations. Sixty-something female assassins are irresistible though.

Release Date: 12/13/22
The Tudor Era is my favorite historical period to read about. This focuses on the concept of courtly love and how it shaped history.

Release Date 8/30/22
Sarah Addison Allen introduced me to magical realism. Her stories are filled with so much heart, I can’t wait for her latest.
Release Date: 11/1/22
I was so happy to learn that another book in the Graceling realm is out to soon!
Release Date: 10/18/22
Colleen Hoover is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait for the sequel to It Ends With Us. We finally get to hear Atlas’s point of view!
I’m looking forward to The Book Eaters, too.

Killers of a Certain Age sounds like so much fun!
Seasparrow is on my list today as well. I think Stone Blind and The Book Eaters also look really good. I hope you enjoy all of these.
Seasparrow sounds good! Though I suppose I should start with the first book in the series, first… 😉
