Top Ten Mostly Anticipated New Releases
1. Go Set A Watchman by Harper Lee
Go Set a Watchman features many of the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird some twenty years later. Returning home to Maycomb to visit her father, Jean Louise Finch—Scout—struggles with issues both personal and political, involving Atticus, society, and the small Alabama town that shaped her.
1. Finders Keepers by Stephen King
A masterful, intensely suspenseful novel about a reader whose obsession with a reclusive writer goes far too far—a book about the power of storytelling, starring the same trio of unlikely and winning heroes King introduced in Mr. Mercedes.
3. Rogue Lawyer by John Grisham
Sebastian Rudd is one of John Grisham’s most colorful, outrageous, and vividly drawn characters yet. Gritty, witty, and impossible to put down, Rogue Lawyer showcases the master of the legal thriller at his very best.
4. No Better Friend by Robert Weintraub
Flight technician Frank Williams and Judy, a purebred pointer, met in the most unlikely of places: a World War II internment camp in the Pacific. Judy was a fiercely loyal dog, with a keen sense for who was friend and who was foe, and the pair’s relationship deepened throughout their captivity. When the prisoners suffered beatings, Judy would repeatedly risk her life to intervene. She survived bombings and other near-death experiences and became a beacon not only for Frank but for all the men, who saw in her survival a flicker of hope for their own.
5. The Rumor by Elin Hildebrand
A friendship is tested in this irresistible page-turner from New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand.
6. The Girl in the Spider’s Web by David Lagercrantz
In this adrenaline-charged thriller, genius-hacker Lisbeth Salander and journalist Mikael Blomkvist face a dangerous new threat and must again join forces.
7. Eight Hundred Grapes by Laura Dave
A breakout novel from an author who “positively shines with wisdom and intelligence” (Jonathan Tropper, This Is Where I leave You). “Laura Dave writes with humor and insight about relationships in all their complexity, whether she’s describing siblings or fiancés or a couple long-married. Eight Hundred Grapesis a captivating story about the power of family, the limitations of love, and what becomes of a life’s work”
8. The Truth According to Us by Anne Barrow
From the co-author of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society comes a wise, witty, and exuberant novel, perfect for fans of Lee Smith, that illuminates the power of loyalty and forgiveness, memory and truth, and the courage it takes to do what’s right.
I’m looking forward to Go Set The Watchman but feel I need to revisit To See a Mockingbird first.. I also like the sound of Eight Hundred Grapes.
This is a great list.
I have a few of these books.
ENJOY your reading week.

Eight Hundred Grapes was a fun read. I’m looking forward to seeing how The Girl in the Spider’s Web turns out without Stieg Larsson writing it. I read earlier this year that his kids did not want anyone finishing the series so it will be interesting. I also had Go Set A Watchman on my list this week.
Oh, I didn’t know John Grisham had a new book coming out. He was at BEA, but I didn’t have the chance to go to his signing. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
I think Go Set A Watchman will show up on several people’s lists. I am definitely intrigued about the events surrounding the manuscript, and this will be one I’ll be purchasing.
