New Books Tuesday for today 1/5/2021. New year, new kind of posts for the blog! This year I want to start sharing more stuff here on the blog besides book reviews. One of the posts you can look forward to are lists of new books that come out each Tuesday.
If you are new to the book world, Tuesdays are when new books are released by the main publishers. You can expect to see books that I’m excited about. These are books I haven’t read but that I’m excited to read and want to put them on your radar. Below you can also find the links to purchase the physical books from bookshop.org and Amazon or the audiobooks from Libro.fm.

Why I’m excited about it – I think this is a book that will take me out of my comfort zone genre wise. I don’t think I’ve read many satirical novels. This book is also Jenna Bush Hager’s Book Club pick for January.
The Push by Ashley Audrain
Genre – Thriller/Mystery
Synopsis – A tense, page-turning psychological drama about the making and breaking of a family–and a woman whose experience of motherhood is nothing at all what she hoped for–and everything she feared.

Synopsis – With delicious suspense, incisive wit, and a fresh, feminist sensibility, The Wife Upstairs flips the script on a timeless tale of forbidden romance, ill-advised attraction, and a wife who just won’t stay buried. In this vivid reimagining of one of literature’s most twisted love triangles.

The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary

Their friends think they’re crazy, but it’s the perfect solution: Leon occupies the one-bed flat while Tiffy’s at work in the day, and she has the run of the place the rest of the time. But with obsessive ex-boyfriends, demanding clients at work, wrongly imprisoned brothers and, of course, the fact that they still haven’t met yet, they’re about to discover that if you want the perfect home you need to throw the rulebook out the window…
