8 Books by Women to Read This Month
March 2017 is shaping up to be a stellar month for new book releases.
Although I'm still very much a print kind of reader, I like adding
books to my eReader so I can carry a piece of my library with me
wherever I go. Here are 8 new books by women you'll find on my tablet.
- The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco (Sourcebooks Fire): This start of a new fantasy series involves resurrection, witches, siblings, and self-discovery.
- The Cutaway by Christina Kovac (Atria / 37 Ink): In this psychological thriller set in DC, a TV producer gets caught up in the disappearance of a lawyer.
- The Fall of Lisa Bellow by Susan Perabo (Simon & Schuster): Billed as a coming-of-age story, this novel explores what happens when a teenager survives a crime that results in the abduction of another girl.
- Himself by Jess Kidd (Atria): A man returns to the Irish village of his youth to investigate why the mother he never knew abandoned him to an orphanage. A mix of humor, folklore, and mystery.
- It Happens All the Time by Amy Hatvany (Atria): Can best friends reunite and change the nature of their relationship? A contemporary look at love and gender roles.
- The Night Mark by Tiffany Reisz (Mira): In this time travel novel set on coastal South Carolina a grieving widow finds an unexpected second chance at happiness.
- Our Short History by Lauren Grodstein (Algonquin): A single mother facing her own mortality must find a way to do the right thing for her young son.
- The Wanderers by Meg Howrey (Putnam): When three people agree to live in an isolated simulated environment for the chance to be the first people to travel to Mars, they face unforeseen challenges.

There are so many interesting books here, most of whixh are new to me. Himself looks great!
I'm super interested in The Wanderers and I've read Lisa Bellow and really liked it. I do think it's a shame the publisher marketed it as "suspenseful" b/c it's much more a coming of age story, as you described it.
I'm excited about The Cutaway.
Some good looking books, but the Cutaway cover grabbed my eye first.

Great selection I have a few&twill be checking out the others.
The Fall of Lisa Bellow, Himself, It Happens All The Time, & Our Short History
are going on my list to read. Not all this month though :)
I have seen Lisa Bellow everywhere and would like to read it, but I have no idea when. I'm interested in the Amy Hatvany book because I've loved what I've read from her in the past. I really think The Wanderers will be a good one, too.
I've read about some of these and there are a lot of great reads to look forward to!
So many great women authors!!
I'm reading a new book ("The Dark Circle") by author Linda Grant, a woman who I think doesn't get all the attention she deserves. Although I'm not very interested in clothes, I find that her writing about clothing ("The Clothes on Their Backs." "The Thoughtful Dresser") offers some interesting insights about women and society. She won the Orange Prize for "When I lived in Modern Times."

I have started myself and I am enjoying it and although I have the ARC of Bone Witch, I stumbled across the audio through the library and started listening. So many good books coming out this spring. ;-)
