November's Most Exciting New Books!

 

 


 

HERE ARE THIS MONTH'S TOP RELEASES!

 


 

 


 

Dear Readers,

 

With Thanksgiving around the corner, we are pleased to offer you a cornucopia of reading delights. Michael Connelly and Patricia Cornwell serve up the latest installments in their beloved series; relative newcomers Rebecca Yarros and Nita Prose also deliver follow-ups to recent favorites. And New Jersey author Lauren Grodstein returns with a historical novel set in the Warsaw Ghetto. Two big memoirs dominate the non-fiction offerings: the much anticipated autobiography by Barbra Streisand and Stephanie Land's follow-up to Maid. And if you're in the mood for some gossip about the British Royal family, you'll want to check out Omid Scobie's Endgame on the 28th. Happy feasting, everyone!

 

Please note: Items released later in the month may not be in the catalog yet. Check the catalog closer to the release date to place a hold on those titles.
