New Fiction Releases for Kindle and More September 13

Are you looking for a great new read?

The Night Circus

Wife-in-Law


The Ballad of Tom Dooley: A Ballad Novel (Appalachian Ballad)

Oh, how I love a week full of wonderful new releases. It  proves the old saying true...too many books and never enough time. There are so many great new releases this week. You will want to download them all on your kindle or pick or order copies of your faves.

Sharyn McCrumb is back - one of my all time favorites, (southern girl, southern settings, I am in love), with the Ballad of Tom Dooley. This fascinating novel is steeped in Appalachian mystery and history. You will learn how the myths of these fabled mountains are sometimes based on true facts. The Ballad of Tom Dooley is based on the story of Tom Dula and Laura Foster, star-crossed lovers living in the Appalachian Mountains after the Civil War. Pre-release reviews say that McCrumb visited the actual sites  that took place in the novel  - oooh..she is definitely one of the best southern writers we have today.

A lot of press is focusing on The Night Circus. I have recently seen reviews comparing it to new Harry Potter. I have not read the entire novel at this time, only a portion, but I can tell you the writing is lush and descriptive...and that does not even really give you a true hint at how wonderful I have found it thus far. The Night Circus only comes to town at night - it opens at sundown and closes at sunset. However, Erin Morgensten will have you hooked and wanting more with the descriptions of the first lights 'popping' on and giving light to the black and white circus tents.

Another southern favorite of mine and a southern treasure - see, I do read all types of books! - Haywood Smith, is as fun-loving and heartbreakingly funny as ever. She will make you laugh and cry in a novel just as good as the original Red Hat Club. If you have not read any of her books before Wife-in-Law is a great place to start. Plus, if you are not from the south, welcome to our world, she gets everything just right!

And there is more! Here is a sampling of  some stellar new releases. If you know of something I missed, please let me know!
