Oh my god, how could I have forgotten this one. Me too! I hope she narrates the audio!

I think I rushed to pre-order Most Famous Girl in the World as soon as I heard about it (and I feel like I would’ve heard about from this substack of BOP)

I have the Emily Bishop’s book planned as audio for my half marathon in October

The only one I can add is The Butcher Game- the long awaited sequel to Butcher and the Wren (Alaina Urquhart) comes out 9/17

Such a great list, I can’t believe we’re so close to Kelly Bishop’s book finally coming out.

I guess it’s more winter than fall, but my friend Beth Kander has her adult debut coming out. I Made It Out of Clay - I think this crew will love it! Millennial Jewish girl coming to terms with a family loss, with a touch of a magical romance. I’ve read the arc, and I’m so excited for it to be out in the world.

Omg I didn't know THE PLOT was getting a sequel. A P & P retelling and a Mansfield Park retelling? We're so blessed.

I am so intrigued by THE SEQUEL and so many people saying they enjoyed it MORE than the first which is such a rarity! (and especially when so many people really enjoyed the first book already).
