New Fiction Books to Add to the Wish List

by

Lots of promising fiction books have been released recently, just in time for Christmas shopping.

In addition to Wally Lamb’s The Hour I First Believed, which I think everyone knows I am super psyched about, I am also excited and intrigued by these new releases:

1. Knit Two by Kate Jacobs: I haven’t even had a chance to read Jacobs’s second book - Comfort Foods - yet and now she’s written a sequel to her first novel, Friday Night Knitting Club.

2. Disquiet by Julia Leigh: Between being mentored by Toni Morrison and having a tragic story line, Leigh is easily Oprah’s Book Club Potential … and I love me a good Oprah pick!

3. Speaking of Toni Morrison … A Mercy by Toni Morrison. Her ninth novel hit stores on November 11 and follows suit as a deeply tragic, albeit incredibly empowering, look at civil rights, specifically slavery.

All of those shown in this picture are new releases, too. Click on the picture to read more about them at the NY Times online.
