Publishing This Week: Natasha Solomons, Paulette Jiles, Lauren Groff and 24 More!

Publishing This Week View as Webpage Hello, This week, we've worked through the publishers' catalogs and the prepub reviews to shortlist 27 books of interest; it's a lot, but a fraction of the great many that are publishing, as early September is high season for new books. As always, you'll find brief information on 10 below and more on all titles, including early reviews, in our New This Week section. They include Digging Stars by Novuyo Rosa Tshuma which Kirkus Reviews gives a coveted starred rating; and Gloria M., writing for our First Impressions Program, describes as "Everything I want in a work of fiction! Compelling characters, a story that holds my interest from page one, intellectual elements including lots of science and history, drama and love!" Also, look out for new works from Paulette Jiles, Lauren Groff, Mick Herron, Ben Goldfarb and Natasha Solomons ― we'll be opening a discussion of Solomons' Fair Rosaline, a subversive reframing of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, in our book club later this week; I found it very compelling. Enjoy! Davina, BookBrowse Publisher This Week's New and Notable Books There are too many books published each week for you to read about them all, let alone read them all.
