92 new eBooks and audiobooks coming out October 3 – 16, 2023
This week we’re covering two weeks of big book releases! Here are some of the most anticipated books coming out October 3 – 16, 2023
Some hard-headed self-help from movie star and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on How to be Useful, feminist scholar Sara Ahmed on how to be the best Feminist Killjoy you can be, and attorney Rebecca Zung on negotiating with narcissists.
Some big ideas about current-day political conservatism from former Republican strategist Stuart Stevens on The Conspiracy to End America and conservatism of the past in a new edition of Russell Kirk’s classic The Politics of Prudence.
True tales of ambition, power, and hubris, in Michael Lewis’ Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon, MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios, Unruly: The Ridiculous History of England’s Kings and Queens by (the comedian, not the novelist) David Mitchell, and Stephen Brown’s history of Canada’s railway.
Memoirs from icons Patrick Stewart and Reba McEntire. And personal stories of adversity and triumph from poet Safiya Sinclair, comedian Sarah Cooper, and Indigenous NHL player turned coach, then outcast, then once again coach Ted Nolan.
New looks at history from a secret service agent with a unique perspective on the assassination of JFK, and a history of Indigenous men and women in the US armed forces.
Danielle Steel tells the story of a romance between a movie executive and a writer, which presently feels no more firmly rooted in the real world as Christine Feehan’s 37th installment in her Carpathian series. Whereas Sophie Kinsella’s The Burnout, about two burnt out professionals trying to restore their spirits at a seaside resort, seems like the story of now.
Astronaut Chris Hadfield returns with the next book in his Apollo Murders series, and Bernard Cornwell brings back Major Sharpe.
Novelist Bryan Washington brings us another aching story of intimacy between wounded characters. Waubgeshig Rice’s sequel to Moon of the Turning Leaves is a sequel coming just five years after its predecessor, but it takes place 12 years after its conclusion. Dutch-born Chilean novelist (and international literary sensation of 2020) Benjamin Labatut has a new novel too.
Brandon Sanderson’s 4th book in his “secret projects” series is another novel in his Cosmere universe. Samit Basu’s The Jinn-Bot of Shantiport is being hailed as a Murderbot/Aladdin mash-up, but we’re getting more of a P Djèlí Clark impression. Speaking of Clark, he’s got a new story in the horror anthology Out There Screaming, edited by sketch comedian turned horror auteur, Jordan Peele.
