So, I’ll probably still be catching up on October’s book releases in November, but there are still a few titles I’ll be keeping my eye on.
I think The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern is probably the one I’m most curious about, just because The Night Circus was so popular. I was less enthusiastic about it than some people, but I still thought her writing was solid and imaginative. I’m interested to see how her sophomore novel pans out!
For more recent new releases, see the lists of October 2019 New Releases and August 2019 New Releases.
Will you be reading any of these books in November? What are you looking forward to?
What It's About: Bridget Jones’s Diary meets Americanah in this disarmingly honest, boldly political, and truly inclusive novel that will speak to anyone who has gone looking for love and found something very different in its place.
Queenie Jenkins is a twenty-five-year-old Jamaican British woman living in London, straddling two cultures and slotting neatly into neither. She works at a national newspaper, where she’s constantly forced to compare herself to her white middle class peers...

I was so disappointed with Lisa Jewell’s last book, I can’t get excited about her new one, although it sounds good. I just wonder if she can pull it off. I loved Andromeda Strain. Maybe I will check out The Andromeda Evolution. Thanks for the post.
thanks for reading rosi! and yeah, I’ll probably read the family upstairs if I have some extra time but honestly I have so many books to catch up on right now haha
I’m looking forward to reading Queenie. I also want to read The Water Dancer by Ta-Nehisi Coates (released last month). My book list is growing faster than I have time to read unfortunately!
The Water Dancer is a really solid novel. It’s not the easiest book to read but it’s definitely worth the effort. Hope you enjoy it if you get a chance to read it!
I recently read Homegoing which was also difficult to read. I’m giving myself a little break before heading into another slave narrative. Did you read Washington Black?
I haven’t read Washington Black yet. It’s on my TBR and I’m sure I’d like it though. Definitely one that I want to get back to at some point.
Awesome list! I’m so excited for toll and starless sea!
Aw Queenie was my absolute favourite ! I’ve also been seeing City of Girls everywhere so need toget that on my TBR as soon as possible!
Wait, wasn’t Queenie released in 2018?
oh! the paperback is being released, no wonder I kept thinking that book was already out, but sometimes I get confused since everyone has ARC copies haha
