I cannot believe we are almost in the month of September. Phew! This summer is going by way too quickly. I still haven’t even made it to the beach!!
While I sit here dreaming about the sand and the sea, please enjoy the 4 September releases that I cannot wait to read.
4 September Book Releases I Can’t Wait To Read
Dead Woman Walking by Sharon Bolton
Expected publication date: September 5th 2017
Goodreads Synopsis:
Just before dawn in the hills near the Scottish border, a man murders a young woman. At the same time, a hot-air balloon crashes out of the sky. There’s just one survivor.
She’s seen the killer’s face – but he’s also seen hers. And he won’t rest until he’s eliminated the only witness to his crime.
Alone, scared, trusting no one, she’s running to where she feels safe – but it could be the most dangerous place of all.
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
Expected publication date: September 12th 2017
Goodreads Synopsis:
In Shaker Heights, a placid, progressive suburb of Cleveland, everything is planned – from the layout of the winding roads, to the colors of the houses, to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules.
Enter Mia Warren – an enigmatic artist and single mother – who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenaged daughter Pearl, and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the mother-daughter pair. But Mia carries with her a mysterious past and a disregard for the status quo that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community.
When old family friends of the Richardsons attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby, a custody battle erupts that dramatically divides the town–and puts Mia and Elena on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives, Elena is determined to uncover the secrets in Mia’s past. But her obsession will come at unexpected and devastating costs.
The Dam Keeper by Robert Kondo, Dice Tsutsumi
Expected publication date: September 26th 2017
Goodreads Synopsis:
Life in Sunrise Valley is tranquil, but beyond its borders lies certain death. A dangerous black fog looms outside the village, but its inhabitants are kept safe by an ingenious machine known as the dam. Pig’s father built the dam and taught him how to maintain it. And then this brilliant inventor did the unthinkable: he walked into the fog and was never seen again.
Now Pig is the dam keeper. Except for his best friend, Fox, and the town bully, Hippo, few are aware of his tireless efforts. But a new threat is on the horizon—a tidal wave of black fog is descending on Sunrise Valley. Now Pig, Fox, and Hippo must face the greatest danger imaginable: the world on the other side of the dam.
There’s Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins
Expected publication date: September 26th 2017
Goodreads Synopsis:
One-by-one, the students of Osborne High are dying in a series of gruesome murders, each with increasing and grotesque flair. As the terror grows closer and the hunt intensifies for the killer, the dark secrets among them must finally be confronted.
International bestselling author Stephanie Perkins returns with a fresh take on the classic teen slasher story that’s fun, quick-witted, and completely impossible to put down.
Thanks for reading!

Dead Woman Walking and There's Someone Inside Your House both sound like books I would check out. I'm doing a Halloween Bingo challenge September and October so there will be lots of thrillers and horror in my future!

I haven't read any Stephanie Perkins, but when I saw she wrote a thriller, I did a double take. I'm really curious to see how it's received. Hope you get a chance to pick up all of these and that they're amazing.
Erica Hatch says
Thank you!! Fingers crossed! 🙂

These look great. I'm looking forward to seeing what Perkins does with a slasher type story, and Little Fires Everywhere kind of intrigued me since seeing it over at Jo's Book Blog. The mysterious past and secrets has me curious!
Erica Hatch says
I hope you have the chance to pick them up! I'd love to see your reviews 🙂

These all sound really good. I have only read one Sharon Bolton book, but I absolutely loved it and need to read more by her. Little Fires Everywhere is also on my radar. I hope you are able to read these all and enjoy them!

I'm really excited about Warcross by Marie Lu and An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson. For my September TBR, I did a poll on my blog that will be available for a couple more days so that other readers vote and help me decide what to read next. It's part of a monthly meme hosted by Because Reading.
I really liked the first two books Stephanie Perkins wrote in the Anna and the French Kiss series, so maybe I'll check out her new book. It seems so weird that now she wrote a thriller/horror novel! But it's still interesting.
Here's my TBR link: https://bookslikewolves.wixsite.com/sosobooks/single-post/2017/09/03/September-2017-TBR-Vote-What-Ill-Read

Ah yes, I can't wait for Warcross by Marie Lu either! That one has been getting a lot of hype!! Thanks for stopping by!
