Fall Into Reading
Popular September Book Releases
With the start of fall just around the corner, authors are publishing new releases to ready readers for the cozy season. Numerous New York Times bestselling authors, including Victoria Aveyard, Leigh Bardugo, Elin Hilderbrand, Stephanie Garber, John Green, Rebecca Yarros and Lynn Painter, plan for their books to hit the shelves in September.
Aveyard, famous for her young adult series “Red Queen,” published the first book in a fantasy duology, “Tempest.” The book was released Sept. 8 and features themes of a pirate epic. Since its release, the book has earned a 3.8-star rating on the popular website Goodreads.
On Sept. 15, both Bardugo and Hilderbrand released new books: “Dead Beat” and “The Thoroughbreds,” respectively. “Dead Beat” serves as the conclusion to the “Ninth House” trilogy, a dark fantasy series following Yale's secret societies. Hilderbrand’s novel continues with that theme, as "The Thoroughbreds" takes place at a New England boarding school. It is the second book in "The Academy" series, which Hilderbrand co-wrote with her daughter.
Garber’s book, “The Mirror of Infinite Endings,” released on Sept. 22 and is part of a fantasy world encompassing six books and one novella. It continues the story of the Magnificent North from Garber’s second trilogy, “Once Upon a Broken Heart,” by following the lives of the series’ protagonists, Evangeline Fox and Jacks. Sharing the release date is “Hollywood Ending,” Green’s first adult novel. Famous for young adult works such as “The Fault in Our Stars” and “Looking for Alaska,” Green’s first new novel in nearly a decade explores themes of fame, money and how being in the spotlight can change a person.
Perhaps the two most talked-about releases of the year come from Yarros and Painter, both set to release Sept. 29. Yarros’ book, “Threshing Day,” serves as book 3.5 for the blockbuster Empyrean series, which includes “Fourth Wing,” “Iron Flame” and “Onyx Storm.” This novella contains 13 new stories from the unique perspectives of beloved characters. Yarros has been secretive about what the stories entail due to the popularity of the series, but fans can count on thrilling adventures. Painter’s book, “Trust Fall,” is a young adult romantic comedy following two students at a New York City prep school, departing from the Nebraska setting of her past works.
“This was the most fun for me, because like most of the world who doesn't live in New York, a lot of us are obsessed with New York,” Painter said in an interview with Cosmopolitan. “You visit New York and you love everything about it.”
Painter has written multiple widely known books, including "Better Than the Movies" and "Fake Skating," which are being adapted into films.
The multitude of popular releases this autumn serves as the perfect opportunity to cozy up with a book as the weather starts to chill. Whether it be a mystery or thriller, a romance or fantasy, there is an option for you.
