Notable New Releases for the Week of September 29, 2014

Happy Monday, readers! Paul Theroux has a collection of short stories out this week, as does last year’s Man Booker winner, Hilary Mantel. There’s also work from Marlon James and Neel Mukherjee. In mystery, Catherine Coulter and J.T. Ellison continue the Brit in the FBI series, and Jon Land has a new Caitlin Strong story; Iris Johansen and Leslie Meier also have new work. In fantasy, Garth Stein and Jason Mott; in romance, Kristan Higgins, Jill Shalvis, and Maya Rodale; in YA, Meg Wolitzer and Gena Showalter; in new adult, Jessica Sorensen and Jamie McGuire; and in nonfiction, Lena Dunham’s book is finally here! I honestly don’t follow much of Dunham’s work, which maybe makes me all the more curious to see what the book is like. Last but not least, new in paperback are The Museum of Extraordinary Things by Alice Hoffman, Just One Year by Gayle Forman, and Mrs. Lincoln’s Rival by Jennifer Chiaverini, among others. Enjoy!
