August New Books Megalist!!!

Holy cats, it’s August already! That means it’s time for another new books megalist. As usual, the first Tuesday of the month has an amazing number of new releases out today (plus the new Harry Potter just came out!!!), so I like to try and share a bunch with you. And on this week’s episode of the All the Books! Rebecca and I talked about some more great new releases out today, such as The Trees, The Fire This Time, and I’m Supposed to Protect You from All This.

before the fallThis week’s newsletter is sponsored by Before the Fall by Noah Hawley.

From the Emmy, PEN, Peabody, Critics’ Choice, and Golden Globe Award-winning creator of the TV show Fargo comes the thriller of the year.

On a foggy summer night, eleven people depart Martha’s Vineyard on a private jet headed for New York. Sixteen minutes later, the plane plunges into the ocean. With chapters weaving between the aftermath of the crash and the backstories of the passengers and crew members, the mystery surrounding the tragedy heightens and odd coincidences point to a conspiracy. Was it merely by chance that so many influential people perished? Or was something far more sinister at work? Events soon threaten to spiral out of control in an escalating storm of media outrage and accusations. Amid pulse-quickening suspense, the fragile relationship between the crash’s two survivors glows at the heart of this stunning novel, raising questions of fate, human nature, and the inextricable ties that bind us together.
