Hot New Releases: Oct 27–Nov 03, 2013

upcoming_releases_bannerSo each month towards the beginning of the month I share with you a list of books I am looking forward to that are releasing that month.  I try to limit that post to only 30 books to keep the post size down.  In doing so, I end up leaving out a TON of books!  I thought I would try doing the UPCOMING BOOKS posts weekly for a while, and see if that works out better.  Please let me know if you would like me to start doing this every WEEK instead of just once a month.  Also, please keep in mind that this list is not *ALL OF THE BOOKS* that are coming out this week.  This is just a few of the ones that caught my eye.  If they catch yours too, be  sure to add them to your wishlists and/or shopping carts!

The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination. – Elizabeth Hardwick

Illuminate me.
