Kat:<\/strong> My bookish friends know that I am a complete Tad Williams fan-girl, and so its no wonder that Brothers of the Wind<\/em><\/a> is first on my hype list for November (out on the fourth). Williams revists his world of Osten Ard in a second prequel to the The Last King of Osten Ard<\/em> series. This novella (mind you, a Tad-Williams-length novella) takes place a thousand years before the events of The Dragonbone Chair<\/em>, the first book in the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn<\/em> series, and will finally give fans of Osten Ard some of the backstory of the Sithi, Ineluki, and the events the led to the epic battle between the Norns and humanity. I cannot wait to dive back in to Williams’ prose, explore new history and world-building surrounding Osten Ard, and meet new characters. Oh, and can we talk about that cover?! Gorgeous! Pre-order a copy via Bookshop here<\/a> (affiliate link).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Kat:<\/strong> Bec McMaster’s Dark Court Rising<\/em> series comes to completion this November with the final book in the trilogy, Curse of Darkness<\/em><\/a>, out on the 2nd. I read the first installment in this adult, Epic Fantasy Romance last year and was intrigued by both the world-building and the plot. The story is set in a dark, magical world inhabited by both dark and light Fae. The romance is enemies-to-lovers, but McMaster puts an twist on that trope that makes for an interesting read, and also sets up a cliff-hanger ending that makes you itch to grab book two. Knowing that book three was coming out this fall, I decided to wait before reading the second book, so that I could read all three straight through. So, I’ll be restarting the trilogy this month in prepartion for the final book, and I’m excited to see how the fantasy and the romance pans out!

Fab: <\/strong>One of my favorite graphic novels of all time is Mooncakes<\/a><\/em> by Wendy Xu and Suzanne Walker. So it’s no wonder I’m highly excited for Tidesong<\/a> by Wendy Xu, her solo graphic novel out on the 16th of November. The story features a young witch and a water dragon and it sounds so damn cute that I think it’s INCREDIBLY mean that no one has ensured that I get a copy on or before release day yet. (I know, I could just pre-order it myself, which is probably what I’ll end up doing). With comps to stories like Howl’s Moving Castle <\/em>and The Tea Dragon Society<\/em> you know that this one will be a perfect feel-good book to curl up with on a day you have the sads, which is the kind of graphic novel that I love most of all. Pre-order a copy via Amazon here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fab: <\/strong>This month is full of comfort releases for me. I have listened to all of the books in the Outlander<\/em> series so many times in audio because the narrator is so amazing that Claire, Jamie, Brianna and co feel like family by now. So to say that I’m excited for Go Tell the Bees That I am Gone<\/a> <\/em>by Diana Gabaldon is a bit of an understatement. Out on the 23rd, this continues the long-running saga of the time-travellers in the eighteenth century, and we’re due a big reunion. I’ll be listening to the audiobook the day it comes out, but I’m sure the print version will be just as good. These books really aren’t my usual genre, but they’re just such comfort books. Pre-order a copy via Bookshop here<\/a> (affiliate link) or the audio via Audible here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
