Hot new book releases for the week of August 17 – 23, 2014

Upcoming Book Releases | wearewordnerds.comSo 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 HOT NEW BOOK RELEASES 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.  And be  sure to add these 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.

I really didn’t find tons for this week. That was a little disappointing for me. Anything coming out that I missed?
