Summer is slowly leaving. We leave the beaches, the sea and the swimming pools and return to our reading routine in the shelter of our homes. Autumn is coming, which carries within it something that will prepare us to immerse ourselves in new books.
Choose one of the books that the popular Goodreads already predicts as the biggest hits of the fall.
Anxious people
Frederick Backman
In this madcap black comedy, Backman takes us through the events that followed a crime that never actually happened. A robber breaks into an apartment that is currently occupied by several people and decides to take them all hostage. While the police prepare a plan to save the people, the criminal has one thing in mind - is it more terrible to surrender to the police or to remain a prisoner with a group of such impossible people?
Transcendent Kingdom
Yaa Gyasi
After the hit Homegoing, Yaa Gyasi presents an equally surprising sequel. Transcendent Kingdom centers on a family in Alabama and Gifty, a neuroscience student obsessed with researching mouse behavior and the phenomenon of depression or addiction. Gifty wants to discover the science behind all the suffering that surrounds her; her talented brother overdosed and her mother was suicidal. In this obsessive exploration, Gyasi confronts us with themes of grief, faith, science and love.
Grown
Tiffany D. Jackson
Goodreads has also added the novel Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson to the list, which will be officially available from September 7th. It describes Enchanted Jones, an up-and-coming singer who struggles with family problems in addition to her career. Everything changes when she catches the attention of legendary musician Korey Fields, who draws her into his luxurious life. But things get complicated when Korey is found dead and Enchanted wakes up with blood on her hands and no memory of the previous night.
Memorial
Brian Washington
If you are attracted to the combination of comedy and drama, then you must read the novel "Memorial" by Bryan Washington. The book introduces us to the story of a young homosexual couple, Benson and Mike, who live together in Houston and have been in a happy relationship for years. But when Mike has to travel urgently to say goodbye to his dying father, Benson is left alone with his new roommate - Mike's mother.
Leave the World Behind
Rumaan Alam
Rumaan Alam's new suspense thriller introduces us to two families who don't know each other and are forced to spend the weekend together. A married couple, Amanda and Clay, take a vacation with their son and daughter to get a break from life in New York. They were unpacking in a luxurious, beautiful house, when suddenly an elderly couple knocks on the door - the house is theirs, so they panic. There's a power outage all over the city and with no TV or cell phone it's hard to know who to trust. Are Amanda and Clay to believe? What happened in New York and is this fantastic house even safe?
Plain Bad Heroines
Emily M. Forth
The autumn atmosphere is ideal for reading gothic stories and one of them is published in October. It is a fun horror comedy that begins in 1902 at an unusual girls' school, where two friends start a fan club for the writer Mary MacLan, author of the scandalous Memoir. In her honor, they form the Plain Bad Heroine Club, which causes them to meet at a certain place where they die. Their bodies are later found along with a copy of the memoir, and this is just the beginning of strange events at this facility.
Keep moving – Notes on Loss, Creativity and Change
Maggie Smith
It's an interesting self-help concept as Smith collects quotes, essays and poems that describe new beginnings and life transformation after a difficult period. It relies on various philosophies, such as the popular theory of kintsugi.
