Today I am listing the books being published in November that I have special interest in. They are ones I will read for sure. It is always exciting to see what is publishing. I have been a reader of the Outlander books since the first one published. The others are all newer authors to me. Gleaned from my blogging rounds!!
#9 in the Outlander series. They come out so infrequently its a wonder I can remember what happened last, but I think I have a general idea and they are too big a book to go reread to remind myself.
This one comes out about November 23rd. It’s the time of the American Revolution and they are all back at Fraser’s Ridge. (My favourite setting for these books).
I haven’t watched the TV series of these books, I just prefer the books. I can then skip the really gory parts!
This is one that is in the local shops so that’s where I can buy it.
And #7 in the Tradd St Series. I am just listening to the previous one at present. I guess I’ll listen to this one as well. I feel it is about time it ends – so no regrets. It is due out very early November but most likely I won’t get to listen to it until 2022.
Doctors and Friends comes out November 9th. I’ll most likely put in a pre-order for this one very soon. This is the third book by Kimmery Martin. She is a emergency medicine specialist so all the details are there.
This one is about a pandemic but actually written before we were hit my our infamous world pandemic. Because its not Covid I can read it!
Hazel Prior returns with another story about Veronica and the Penguins. I really enjoyed the first one about her adventure with the penguins. She is 87 years old and she is off to take part in a documentary about penguins. I was lucky enough to be given a copy for this one from NetGalley and I really look forward to reading it. It publishes on the 11th of November.
And to round things off a cosy mystery. Death on a Shelf is #5 in the series and I have been listening to the audio version. It publishes November 9th. It is set in a library and has a ghost and a library cat. Easy listening.
Well I am reading this one at present. In this one we have a competent woman neurosurgeon, who is dealing with anxiety attacks and a past that haunts her dreams. As she comes apart, she decides to go back and see if see can find those missing memories and heal. It’s set in London, New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina and the Great Barrier Island off the coast of New Zealand.
Robyn Carr presents us with a much loved character in Maggie Sullivan in her first book of Sullivan’s Crossing. She too is a neurosurgeon. She is under pressure and in danger of burnout so she returns to Sullivan’s Crossing to recuperate. This is a romance, so she finds someone who just might help with that recovery.
The Gilded Hour is historical fiction set back in 1883 in the USA. It has as its central characters Dr. Anna Savard and her cousin Sophie an obstetrician. They doctor to the poor and this is a book that highlights terrible discrimination. It’s pretty bleak! There is a second book that carries their lives on further but I haven’t read that one.
To round off the list, the last one is a medical thriller. I read this back in 2014 so its somewhat hazy compared to the other four. Dr. Abbey Matteo is on a cardiac team that do heart transplants. She finds herself confronted with someone who receives a heart, who wasn’t in line for one. A rich one. Where did the heart come from? She investigates! Grisly and horrifying. Not my usual read!
