I'm so excited to see these! Especially the Zadie Smith!!
What a lot of lovely looking books! I'm adding The Black Isle to my list for sure, but lots of the others are tempting as well.
Carleen - I am psyched about so many of these. I recently finished The World We Found by Umrigar and really enjoyed it.
Charlotte - I love the cover for Black Isle and that the story has ghosts. It also sounds like it may have some teen crossover appeal.
I've already written down three of these.
Thank you, Doret!
FYI, the link for the Bernice McFadden book goes to the Thrity Umrigar book on Amazon.
Thank you for this resource. I found a few here that intrigue me and a few from authors I've enjoyed and I didn't know they had new books coming out.
Towardinfinity - I finally fixed the McFadden link thanks so much for letting me know. And very happy to hear you were able to find a few books.
This list is so exciting!! Ironically Tayari's Silver Sparrow jump started my 2012 reading and lead to the recently finished Passing Love by Luckett. I look forward to delving into this intriguing list of titles. Thank you so much for sharing!!
Love this list and am really excited to read... well... most of these :)
