Hey, @lovescats, how about a new list of books every month? I just learned that there's a site that lists thr top 10 new books that librarians across the nation recommend. They just issued the September list, but none of the books are out yet, they're all available for pre-order only right now.
Here's the August list: http://libraryreads.org/august-2015-libraryreads-list/
Best Boy, by Eli Gotlieb
The Nature of the Beast: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel, by Louise Penny
A Window Opens, by Elisabeth Egan
