Even though I have MANY books on my shelves I have not yet read, including those recently acquired, and even though my list of books I intend to request from the library is long, I still covet many new books–yet to be released this fall or recently released. Here’s my list:

Fiction

• Lucy By The Sea by Elizabeth Strout
• A World of Curiosities by Louise Penny (Nov 29)
• Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Rayburn
• The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’Farrell
• The Bullet That Missed by Richard Osman
• The Ski Jumpers by Peter Geye
• The Evening Hero by Marie Myung-Ok Lee
• Lessons by Ian McEwan

Oh, and I am attracted to the British Library Women Writers Series–forgotten works by mid-century women writers. I think there are 18 in the series.

Nonfiction

• Sacred Nature: Restoring Our Ancient Bond with the Natural World by Karen Armstrong
• A Place in the World, Finding the Meaning of Home by Frances Mayes
• Hagitude, Reimagine the Second Half of Life by Sharon Blackie
• How We Live Is How We Die by Pema Chodron

The scary thing is that I know I will be enticed by many other titles along the way–and every time I enter a bookstore. I guess as addictions go this problem isn’t too bad.

An Invitation

What new books are tempting you? I would love to know.
