8 New Books We’ll Be Picking Up This September

As the weather starts to get a bit chiller, we couldn’t imagine anything better than curling up with our pumpkin spiced latte and a good book.

And thank God there are so many incredible books hitting shelves this September.

Here are eight books that we’re sure you’ll be bet into this month…

What a Way to Go – Bella Mackie

One thing you can be sure of is that Bella Mackie is going to bring us on a dark and twisted path. And we love it!

Her second book we meet Anthony Wistern who is wealthy beyond imagination. Oh and a fragrant wife, a gaggle of photogenic children, a French chateau, a Cotswold manor, a plethora of mistresses, penchant for cutting moral corners.

Unfortunately for him, he’s also dead. Suddenly poised to inherit his fortune, each member of the family falls under suspicion.

Think Succession but more fun!

Out September 12th

Honeybee – Dawn O’Porter

We all know how much Dawn O’Porter loves female friendships. And we love her for it.

Her latest novel follows old friends Renée and Flo couldn’t be more different. Flo wants to be invisible, Renée wants to be a somebody.

But old friendships are magnetic. In their early twenties, and on the cusp of the rest of their lives, Renée and Flo both fly home to Guernsey: to the island where it all began.

Back in the place of their youth, yet spreading their wings into adulthood, will they flail and fall? Or will growing up be the making of them?

The Women Behind the Door – Roddy Doyle

We first met Paula in 1994 in this ground-breaking television series about the Spencers, a working-class Dublin family living under the oppressive regime of abusive, alcoholic father Charlo.

After the success of Family, Roddy Doyle continued to tell Paula’s story in his novels The Woman Who Walked into Doors and Paula Spencer.

The Women Behind the Door is the third chapter in her story.

Counting Miracles – Nicholas Sparks

The man behind The Notebook is back with a brand new romance novel for the first time in two years.

Tanner, Kaitlyn and Jasper are three very different lives – Tanner has never belonged anywhere, Kaitlyn knows exactly where she belongs and Jasper will never belong anywhere ever again.

Three strangers’ worlds are about to collide, changing the trajectory of all their lives. Because some paths cross, some merge, and others guide you home…

The Monstrous Kind – Lydia Gregovic

If you’re missing My Lady Jane then we have a read that we think you’ll just love.

Merrick Darling’s life is better than most. As the daughter of a powerful lord, she wants for nothing – yet she will never inherit her family’s Manor.

Her only options are a smart marriage, or to live at the kindness of her practical and regimented elder sister, Essie.

Out September 3rd

Broken Ghosts – J.D. Oswald

Twelve-year-old Phoebe’s world is falling apart. It’s the summer of 1985 and she has just buried her parents, a fire at their family home claiming both in a freak accident.

Her life is uprooted in an instant, and she takes little solace in the fact that her Uncle Louis and Aunt Maude have generously offered to take her in at their home in the Welsh woods.

Soon, Phoebe begins to see the woods for what they truly are – a strange place where the line between life and death is blurred, where spirits roam and secrets fester. But has she learned this truth too late to escape it?

Out September 12th

Entitlement – Rumaan Alam

Another book for Succession fans!

Brooke wants. She isn’t in need, but there are things she wants. A sense of purpose, for instance. She wants to make a difference in the world, to impress her mother along the way, to spend time with friends and secure her independence.

Her job assisting an octogenarian billionaire in his quest to give away a vast fortune could help her achieve many of these goals. It may inspire new desires as well: proximity to wealth turns out to be nothing less than transformative.

What is money, really, but a kind of belief?

Out September 17th

Frankie – Graham Norton

Frankie Howe has lived a long life, her small flat is crammed full of art, furniture – and memories. Damian, her young carer, listens as she gradually tells him parts of her story – a story that takes us into a progressive, daring world of New York artists on the brink of fame, aspiring writers and larger-than-life characters.

Always just on the periphery, looking on, young Frankie is never quite sure enough of herself to take centre stage. But the outsider holds certain advantages, sees things others don’t, can influence without drawing attention.

Travelling from post-war Ireland to the dazzling art scene of 1960s New York by way of London, Frankie is an immersive, decade-sweeping novel about love, bravery and what it means to live a significant life.
