Hello friends! With so many books coming out every week, I am bringing you a list of 5 new releases that I want to read. Let me know which books interest you or if I am missing a new release you are excited about… We can always grow our TBR!.

I tried to pick books that made me curious and at the same time were different genres, so hopefully one of these books catches your attention.

The Disappearers: a Novel by Marlon James
LITERARY FICTION

In this spellbinding novel, Marlon James has written a propulsive crime story that is also a deeply human account of connection and acceptance. Full of fascinating characters, biting humor, and unapologetic sex, The Disappearers is both a thrilling page-turner and a finely etched portrait of queer life.

Mother Daughter Sister Stranger: a Novel by Hank Phillippi Ryan
MYSTERY & THRILLER

A missing influencer. Her frightened daughter. And a sister on a desperate search for a happy ending. But someone knows the deadly key to their shared past—and now won’t stop until they’ve written a terrifying final chapter. Mother, daughter, sister—stranger.

Under Story: a Novel by Chloe Benjamin
SCIENCE FICTION

A breathless page-turner and a love letter to our planet, Under Story grapples with the great questions of our time: human hubris, the precarity of the natural world, and the mysterious webs of consciousness that bind us. A modern epic of science and soul, of bravery and redemption, it offers a vision of the future that demands we reckon with what we owe to one another, and to the earth itself.

An Immaculate Deception: a Novel by Isabela Livino
HORROR FICTION

A debut Gothic horror set in 1870s Brazil—a tale of creeping suspense in which a young pregnant woman finds herself unable to escape her lover’s isolated family home, and a family’s deal with the devil goes terribly wrong

Untamed Coast: a Novel by Kevin C. Morris
FICTION

Told across three evocative timelines—a radio operator in 1938 collecting more than just telegrams, a young woman in the 1980s fighting to survive her abusive husband, and Marco in the present day searching for a voice in the static—Untamed Coast is a story of fierce determination, missed signals, loneliness and connection, and the unseen ripples that reverberate across generations, standing the test of time and the tides.

So there you have it! This is my short list of books that caught my attention released this week. Let me know if any of these made it to your TBR or if you pre-ordered or you are getting ready to get it!.
