Publishing This Week

Hello Readers, 


This week there are 52 new books publishing. Before you look at the full list, here are three new books to check-out: 

Dream Count by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, one of BookBrowse's Most Anticipated Books of 2025, is the first novel by international sensation Adichie in ten years will likely be one of the most talked-about books this year. 


The Dream Hotel by Laila Lalami is "a stirring dystopian tale of dwindling privacy and freedom in the digital age…The premise calls to mind Philip K. Dick’s The Minority Report, but Lalami’s version is chillingly original, echoing widespread fears about the abuse of surveillance technology, and she balances high-concept speculative elements with deep character work. This surreal story feels all too plausible” (Publishers Weekly).


For readers look for a memoir, we have Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton, "an astounding debut memoir in which Dalton shows how a serene and long-misunderstood creature opened her eyes in many ways. It just might do the same for readers. . . . Soulful and gracefully written” (Kirkus). 

 

You'll find brief information on 10 titles below, and descriptions and reviews for all of them in our New This Week section. For more soon to publish books including paperbacks, check out BookBrowse's "What's New" section
