Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that currently resides at The Artsy Reader Girl and features bloggers sharing lists on various book topics. For this Top Ten Tuesday, participants need to list the top releases that they are looking forward to reading in Fall (or Spring for us down here in Australia). This is a fun exercise that I have done for each of the preceding seasons, and it is always interesting to highlight the various cool sounding books that are coming out in the next few months.
For this list I have come up with 10 of the best novels that are coming out between 1 September 2020 and 30 November 2020. I have decided to exclude novels that I have already read, or I am currently reading, so that took a couple of key books off the list. Still, this left me with a rather substantial pool of cool upcoming novels that I am excited for, which I was eventually able to whittle down into a great Top Ten list (with a few honourable mentions). I have previously discussed a number of these books before in prior Top Ten Tuesdays and Waiting on Wednesday articles and I think all of them will turn out to be some really impressive and enjoyable reads.
Honourable Mentions:
A Deadly Education by Namoi Novik – 29 September 2020
Battle Ground by Jim Butcher – 29 September 2020
The Emperor’s Exile by Simon Scarrow – 12 November 2020
Top Ten Tuesday:
The Evening and the Morning by Ken Follett – 15 September 2020
The Trouble with Peace by Joe Abercrombie – 15 September 2020
Total Power by Kyle Mills (Based on the series by Vince Flynn) – 15 September 2020
Dead Man in a Ditch by Luke Arnold – 22 September 2020
Assault by Fire by Hunter Ripley Rawlings IV – 29 September 2020
The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton – 1 October 2020
War Lord by Bernard Cornwell – 15 October 2020
The Law of Innocence by Michael Connelly – 10 November 2020
Ink by Jonathan Maberry – 17 November 2020
Call of the Bone Ships by R. J. Barker – 24 November 2020
The last entry in this article is the fantastic-sounding Call of the Bone Ships by R. J. Barker. Call of the Bone Ships is the sequel to one of my favourite books from last year, The Bone Ships, and looks set to continue the adventures of a crew of a damned ship in a dark fantasy world. Based on how awesome the first novel in the series was, I am very excited to read this upcoming novel and I have no doubt that it will be one of the best books of the year.
Well that is the end of my Top Ten list. I think it turned out pretty well and it does a good job of capturing all my most anticipated books for the next three months. Each of the above should be pretty epic, and I cannot wait to read each of them soon. Let me know which of the above you are most excited for and stay tuned for reviews of them in the next few months.
I didn’t know Jim Butcher had a new book coming out. Neat!

I just got my copy last week and I am looking forward to reading it as it sounds like a lot of fun. I am not too familiar with the series (which is why I made it an honourable mention), but I have heard some amazing stuff about it.

I am particularly looking forward to the new Naomi Novik and Stuart Turton! The 7.5 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle was such an inventive book.

7.5 Deaths was an amazing book and I am really looking forward to seeing how Turton follows it up.
