10 Books I’m Looking forward to this Fall (2024)

9/3

Struggling writer Jane has high hopes that her life is about to turn around. She has just finied her second novel: a centuries-spanning epic her artist husband, Lenny, dubs her “mulatto War and Peace.” Finally, some semblance of stability and success seems to be within her grasp.

But things don't work out quite as hoped. Desperate for a plan B, like countless writers before her Jane turns her gaze to Hollywood. When she finagles a meeting with Hampton Ford, a hot producer with a major development deal at a streaming network, he seems excited to work with a "real writer," and together they begin to develop "the Jackie Robinson of biracial comedies." Things finally seem to be going right for Jane--until they go terribly wrong.

9/24: Sally Rooney is back with a story about two estraned brothers Peter and ivan.

Peter is a successful lawyer; outgoing successful and struggling after the death of his father.

Ta-Nehisi Coates originally set out to write a book about writing,

In the first of the book’s three intertwining essays, Coates, on his first trip to Africa, finds himself in two places at once: in Dakar, a modern city in Senegal, and in a mythic kingdom in his mind. Then he takes readers along with him to Columbia, South Carolina, where he reports on his own book’s banning, but also explores the larger backlash to the nation’s recent reckoning with history and the deeply rooted American mythology so visible in that city—a capital of the Confederacy with statues of segregationists looming over its public squares. Finally, in the book’s longest section, Coates travels to Palestine, where he sees with devastating clarity how easily we are misled by nationalist narratives, and the tragedy that lies in the clash between the stories we tell and the reality of life on the ground.

My favorite Tv Foodie has written a memoir!

Here, for the first time, Ina Garten presents an intimate, entertaining, and inspiring account of her remarkable journey. 

She reads the audible version so OF COURSE that is the version I'll be listening to

I didn't fall in love with the first book in the series, BUT as always with these kids of book, I see the love interests for futrue books a mile away.

I cannot wait for the story of Gus and Teddy. The two who seem to hate each other the most. .

I love a good enemies to lovers with a single father trope. Hopefully, this one does not disappoint.
