Fall is always a huge time for the publishing industry. However, this is shaping up to be an even larger season than usual. Many releases were delayed from spring because of the pandemic, so September and October will bring a mountain of exciting books. How to choose what to read? We leaned on Lori, the Interabang Book Buyer, and asked for a list of 10 upcoming releases, both fiction and non-fiction, to keep an eye out for. Just 10! Yet from Jodi Picoult to Jerry Seinfeld, you’ll find a variety even on this short list. Any that appeal to you can be pre-ordered right now and will be ready for you on the day of publication!
