Here are the titles I’m looking forward to reading later on this year. It’s once again looking a little sparse, but I’m sure that will change as autumn grows nearer. I do have a few Top Ten Tuesday bloggers to thank for some of titles on this list as well, so keep an eye out for that.
1. Our Cut Of Salt By Deena Helm. Tor Nightfire,
Publication Date: September 22
Thank you to Tammy @ Books Bones Buffy for recommending this title earlier this year!
Why I’m Interested: This sounds quite scary. Will it also be a metaphor for the genocide in Palestine? Only time will tell.
2. Building 903 by Lois Lowry
Thank you to Susan @ Blogging ‘Bout Books for recommending this title a few weeks ago!
Publication Date: September 29
Why I’m Interested: I had no idea Ms. Lowry was still writing books, but now I want to catch up on her work. She was one of my favourite authors as a kid.
3. As You Wake, Break the Shell by Becky Chambers
Publication Date: October 13
Why I’m Interested: I try to read everything Ms. Chambers releases as I love her writing style and vivid imagination.
4. Dead Batteries: A Novel by Kate Maupin
Publication Date: October 27
Why I’m Interested: I’ve mostly moved on from reading horror and post-apocalyptic stuff, due to our current world being more than frightful enough as is, but I’m fascinated by the protagonists who apparently find that setting less stressful than life was before a virus wiped out almost all of humanity.
The cover for this book has not been released yet.
5. Take My Word for It by Levar Burton
Publication Date: November 10
Why I’m Interested: Honestly, I mostly just want to read his chapters about Reading Rainbow and maybe Star Trek: The Next Generation. They were among my favourite shows as a kid!
I had no idea Lowry was still writing either.
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
Isn’t it wonderful? 🙂
Great list! I just saw the Chambers book mentioned in another list and had no idea we were being treated to a new release. It went straight on my TBR wishlist! 🤭 I hope you enjoy all of these whenever you get to them.
Yay! Happy reading to you.
I didn’t know Lois Lowry was still writing either. I’m going to have to check that one out. Levar Burton’s book is on my TBR also. I’m highly looking forward to picking that one up later this year.
Cool. I hope you like them both.
Thanks for introducing me to Building 903. It sounds like it will be right up my alley!
You’re welcome, and I hope you like it.
I didn’t realize Chambers had something new out! I couldn’t think of anything so I wrote about old drafts.
I hope you like her new book. Coming over to say hello soon.
The Levar Burton book sounds good. I never read Lowry’s books and this one sounds really good. Enjoy your books when you get a chance to read them.
Thank you. It’s interesting you’ve never ready any Lowry. She was a staple of my childhood reading.
I have read The Giver and like you, had NO idea Lois had a new book coming! That’s cool. Certainly one I’ll have to take a look at. 🙂 Thanks so much for visiting my list this week.
You’re welcome, and I hope you like it.
“I’ve mostly moved on from reading horror and post-apocalyptic stuff, due to our current world being more than frightful enough” AMEN
Interesting selections!
Heh, thanks!
I only just heard about the new Becky Chambers today!
She’s been mentioned on a ton of blog posts for sure.
I’m glad you’re also excited to read Our Cut of Salt! And Dead Batteries sounds great.
Thank you!
I think there are two things us devoted readers can agree on: There are always going to be more great books coming out than we can keep up with and our blogger friends will help us to not miss as many of them, LOL! Have a good week!
I totally agree with you there. Happy reading!
The LeVar Burton book sounds like an interesting read. I hope you enjoy all of these when you get the chance. And thanks for stopping by my blog earlier.
You’re welcome. Thank you for your kind words.
I am also excited for the new Chambers!! I hope we both enjoy it.
Thank you.
I will definitely read the new Becky Chambers, excited to see what that one is like. I really enjoyed her previous duology.
Glad to hear it.
No overlap on our lists this week, but I didn’t know about LeVar Burton’s book and Dead Batteries sounds intriguing! I’m behind on reading Becky Chambers, and have only read two of her books so far.
I hope I’ve inspired you to add a few titles to your TBR. 🙂 It’s fun when there’s no overlap between lists because then we both can learn about new books.
Oh wow, I didn’t know Lois Lowry was still writing either! My daughter used to love her books — I’ll have to let her know. Can’t wait for the new Becky Chambers!
Yay! Enjoy.
I cannot wait for Our Cut of Salt. One of my most anticipated for the whole year. Hope you enjoy all these!
Thank you. Happy reading.
I saw As You Wake on another list and have added it to my TBR. Glad to see it here, too! Enjoy your list!
Thank you, and you as well.
Thanks for the shout out! I’m very excited for BUILDING 903. I didn’t think Lowry was still writing either, so I was thrilled to see a new one coming out from her. I hope we both enjoy it.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

You’re welcome. Happy reading!
Oh, Lavar Burton! I have a soft place in my heart for him. Thanks for the heads up about a new Becky Chambers novel.
Honestly, same regarding Levar Burton. 🙂
I’ve seen As You Wake, Break the Shell on a lot of lists and the cover is really pretty so I should check it out 🙂 I hope you enjoy all of these! Happy Reading <3
yes, they’ve been quite popular!
I’m excited for the Becky Chambers book too! Her books are so good!
They sure are. 🙂
I see we have a couple in common! I’m not sure if Our Cut of Salt will be my thing, but my curiosity is itching at me.
it’s fun when that happens. I hope you like Our Cut of Salt.
