New Books Tuesday 9.24.24
Tuesdays are New Book Day in the Publishing Industry. For a bookseller, like me, it feels like Christmas every week. These are books out today, September 24, 2024!
Each week it gets harder to narrow down this list (haha). Especially because Autumn/Winter it feels like publishers jam pack their schedule with SO MANY great books. Hmm… I wonder why? *wink, wink*
Here’s what was featured in my New Books Tuesdays Video this week. I think of it as a sort of “Playlist” of Books! (click titles to order or read more about the books)
