New Book Releases – September 2022

It’s a new month with new books – let’s find the perfect one for you! Below you will find a curated selection of books that are available this month.

Last Summer on State Street by Toya Wolfe

Last Summer on State Street by Toya Wolfe was a powerful coming-of-age debut that I keep thinking about. It’s set in the southside of Chicago during the late nineties, in the Robert Taylor Homes.

Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney

Multiple people have told me to read Rock Paper Scissors and I understand why. I followed the false leads and when the big twist happened… I was shocked.  I had to recalibrate everything I had read up until that point. 

American Spy by Lauren Wilkinson

American Spy by Lauren Wilkinson a slow burn novel that blends an intelligence mystery with the protagonist’s personal reflection on her career and life. 

The Last Dreamwalker by Rita Woods

The Last Dreamwalker by Rita Woods was an attention-getting blend of family discovery and historical fiction, with a touch of magical realism. 

Razorblade Tears by S.A. Crosby

Razorblade Tears by S.A. Cosby was so well-done that I ended up reading a story I would normally not pick up, just to keep consuming the words. 

I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika L. Sánchez

I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika L. Sánchez was a five-star read for me in June and is another YA novel that has the depth of adult literary fiction.
