Yay- we have just the right amount of overlap in potential fall reading. Or maybe that’s bad because it means you’ve got 9 books I haven’t heard about!

I’m with you, 2020 has lasted a decade and I’m not remotely hopeful about the rest of the year.

Love your Preview posts! I’m looking over the list closely …. and I’m most keen to read the Yaa Gyasi and Sue Miller books! I did read MO Walsh’s first novel … which was a bit unsettling to me. I’m curious about Jess Walters since I haven’t him yet. I think fall books will be good!

In reply to Christie. I've not read Jess Walters before, but am happy to hear that he's one you like so much. I was attracted to The Cold Millions because it's set in Washington (where I live).

In reply to Margie. For me, my numbers for 2020 will be high, but I don't think the quality of books has been as good as last year.

In reply to Katie. Thanks, Katie. I've never read Jess Walters before, but was really attracted to The Cold Millions because it takes place in Washington.

In reply to Diane. I'm in the middle of Anxious People right now and as usual, I love Backman's writing.

Yay! Jess Walter is back!
Here Is the Beehive is a great title. Especially if we’re talking about infidelity.

Leave the World Behind looks interesting. I agree that at the very least, 2020 is proving to be a stellar reading year for me.

I’m especially looking forward to the Jess Walters book and also Monogamy by Sue Miller. This is a great list. Thank you, Susie.
