And just like that, summer’s almost over. Well, the good news is, there’s a bunch of exciting fall new releases coming out in September. Notably Margaret Atwood‘s sequel to the Handmaid’s Tale, The Testaments, will be released and Ta Nehisi-Coate‘s first fiction offering, The Water Dancer, as well. I’m reading The Water Dancer right now, and I really like it so far, so you can expect to see that review up here soon.
Plus, if you’re an xkcd fan, Randall Monroe has a new book out, entitled How To: Absurd Scientific Advice for Common Real-World Problems.
Also, Stephen King has a new book out, The Institute, which will drop around the same time that It: Chapter Two hits the theaters.
See the full list of September picks below. Note that if you’re reading via the WordPress reader or an RSS feed, you may need to visit the actual page to view it properly! What do you think about these titles? Any that you plan on reading?
What It's About: Publication Date: September 3, 2019
I am beyond excited for Testaments, especially after Season three of the series adaptation.
me too! I’m a little apprehensive as well, but I’ve loved so many of margaret atwood’s books so I’m hopeful it’ll be fantastic!
I am definitely excited to read The Dutch House by Ann Patchett. Steven King’s new novel also has a nice cover, I think.
The Dutch House seems to have really solid early reviews, so it’s one that’ll likely be on my TBR as well! :)
Great alerts for when these will be coming out. For those who haven’t read the Handmaid’s Tale, catch up!
Thanks Ronald! And yeah, the last time I read it was back in high school haha so I’m trying to fit in a re-read, but not sure if that’ll end up happening haha
Great choices! I’m definitely looking forward to the new Stephen King and The Testaments. I’m reading Cold Storage now and it’s a complete blockbuster of a read so far!
Thanks Jules! yeah there’s so much great stuff coming out in September, so it’ll be a busy reading month. I’d love to try to find time for Cold Storage if I can, glad to hear you’re enjoying it!
I’m so excited for The Testaments but I’m also equally terrified with the expectations of it 😅 The Water Dancer looks and sounds really good as well.
haha yeah margaret atwood has been a favorite author of mine for as long as I can remember, so I’ll be pretty disappointed if I don’t like it. That being said, I can honestly say I’ve really liked pretty much everything of hers that I’ve read in the past, so I’m hopeful. :)
I haven’t heard of most of these, but I’m definitely most excited for Cold Storage!
yup! I’ve only heard good things about it so far, so I’m hoping I can find time for it next month!
Great choices! My favorite historical fiction author, Laura Madeleine, is coming out with a new one on the 19th!
Thank you! I’ll need to look in it, thanks for the heads up!
Stephen King’s new book sounds really good! I’ll have to check it out!
I’m waiting to see how the reviews play out, but if it seems to be solid, I’m very curious about it as well!
Great list! I think I’m looking forward to The Testaments. It was a fantastic read, very engaging, but I couldn’t bring myself to watch the TV show after reading it. I must read more of Margret Atwood’s other books sometime.
Thank you! If you’re open to a recommendation, the Blind Assassin is my personal favorite when it comes to Atwood’s books! :)
Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll have to check that one out!
Wow this is an awesome list. Very much looking forward to most of these.
thank you! :)
