Hello,

This week brings a very strong line up of ten books -- a small taste of the exciting fall season that we are just now getting into.

First up is A Million Things by debut novelist Emily Spurr which our members reviewed for our early reader program, First Impressions, giving it a stellar 4.7 average.

Next is another debut, The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois by Honoree Fanonne Jeffers, an extraordinarily powerful epic that is destined for many a "best of year" list.

Then comes Pat Barker's The Women of Troy, an excellent addition to a recent slew of books retelling the Greek myths from female perspectives, in this case the Illead.

Read on for more about these three and the week's other notables, including new books from Louise Penny, William Kent Krueger and Peter Heller.

With best wishes,

Davina, BookBrowse Publisher
