...But At Least We Still Have Books! (Fall 2020 Book Preview)

So... the world has been on fire as of late, but at least we still have books! Despite cancelled tours, pub-date push-backs and all the other chaos, 2020 has been a fantastic year for book releases, and the Fall line-up promises to continue the trend.

Whether you're stuck in quarantine, shouldering burdens or trying to keep things normal (as can be), it's time to start your pre-orders and get your holds ready at the library. Below are the books I'm most looking forward to, July-December, with reader suggestions following. Cheers and Happy Reading!
