This week's new books
Literairyland Weekly: Aug. 29-Sep. 4, 2023
Welcome to the second issue of Literairyland! I’m so happy you’re here. Your list of this week’s new books and writer birthdays is below.
My goal with this newsletter is simple: Make it easy for you to see what new books are published each week. It’s the newsletter I wish existed, and I’m guessing you might enjoy it, too.
There are a few things I’d like to note:
I can’t guarantee this email will contain every single new book. Book publishing is a murky business, and there are many book publishers. So, while I try my best to include every new book, I can’t promise that I won’t miss some.
This list might contain a book that isn’t yet out or is already published. Sometimes book publishers change a publication date without telling me. (See publishing, murky.) I double-check this list before sending it to you, but it’s possible a book’s pub date changes without me catching it.
This list follows U.S. publication dates because I am in the U.S. A book may or may not publish in the U.S., U.K., etc., on the same day. If you’re not in the U.S., it’s possible a book that’s new here isn’t yet available where you are. Or, sometimes a book will publish elsewhere before it publishes in the U.S.
I aim to send this email to you by 9 a.m. Eastern time every Tuesday. (Tuesdays are, by the way, when publishers release new books.) You can unsubscribe any time by clicking the link at the bottom of this email.
Lastly, I’d be delighted if you share this email with others. Please consider forwarding it to a friend or posting a link to it on your preferred social media platform. Thank you!
Now, let’s get to this week’s new books.
Thanks for reading, Nicholas Barron
This Week’s New Books
While I try to ensure this list contains all new books publishing this week, it’s possible, and likely, that I’ve missed some. I apologize to those authors and publishers.
It’s also possible a publisher changes a book’s publication date without me realizing it. I do my best to ensure this list is comprehensive and current, but I can’t guarantee it.
