Yes, September is a fantastic month for all sorts of releases and books are no exception! There are some great titles coming out!
These are listed by release date and honorable mentions (books I either have no interest in or haven’t read their predecessors yet) will be posted at the bottom! Each title is also linked to their Goodreads page if you’d like to add them!
Darkdawn (The Nevernight Chronicles #3) by Jay Kristoff
Release Date: September 3rd
NO I HAVEN’T READ “GODSGRAVE” YET, I AM SO ASHAMED! I usually don’t talk too much about books releasing that I haven’t read the predecessors for yet. BUT! It’s just such a good series and I have a lot of love for Jay Kristoff so I’m going to mention it anyways. I can’t wait to finish this series, it’s just awesome.
Loki: Where Mischief Lies by Mackenzi Lee
Release Date: September 3rd
It’s a Loki book. It’s a Loki book where the character is actually being shown as genderfluid. It’s YA. Let’s rock.
Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin
Release Date: September 3rd
A surprise marriage between a witch and a witch hunter of the Church (sworn to kill witches). I’m game for anything with witches but forbidden romance really hits it home for me!
American Royals by Katharine McGee
Release Date: September 3rd
The title really speaks for itself here, I think. It’s about America but with a royal family instead, filled with all the drama you can possibly imagine! I’m a huge sucker for books about modern royalty.

To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers

A sci-fi novella where instead of terraforming planets to sustain human life, explorers of the solar system instead transform themselves to inhabit and explore new planets. Sounds interesting and novellas are always such great, quick reads!
Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

Honestly there’s so much about this book that sounds AMAZING and it’s already got a ton of hype but it’s about lesbian necromancers!

Mother Knows Best by Kira Peikoff
Release Date: September 10th
I’m not sure hot to sum this up to be shorter, but it sounds really good! Definitely a unique concept I think!
Claire Abrams’s dreams became a nightmare when she passed on a genetic mutation that killed her little boy. Now she wants a second chance to be a mother, and finds it in Robert Nash, a maverick fertility doctor who works under the radar with Jillian Hendricks, a cunning young scientist bent on making her mark—and seducing her boss.
Claire, Robert, and Jillian work together to create the world’s first baby with three genetic parents—an unprecedented feat that could eliminate inherited disease. But when word of their illegal experiment leaks to the wrong person, Robert escapes into hiding with the now-pregnant Claire, leaving Jillian to serve out a prison sentence that destroys her future.
Ten years later, a spunky girl named Abigail begins to understand that all is not right with the reclusive man and woman she knows as her parents. But the family’s problems are only beginning. Jillian, hardened by a decade of jealousy and loss, has returned—and nothing will stop her from reuniting with the man and daughter who should have been hers.

Okay, so I really enjoyed Kate Alice Marshall’s novel “I Am Still Alive” so I was excited for her new release. But then I found out it was like a book version of ‘The Blair Witch Project’ and I was PUMPED! Bring it on!
