The Best New Books to Read in August 2024

It happens to countless book clubs: You start out with great intentions of reading brilliant weighty novels, taking on books like Barbara Kingsolver’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Demon Copperhead (560 pages) or Abraham Verghese’s epic The Covenant of Water (736 pages). They’re fantastic, but many members of your group just don’t have the time or motivation to plow through them and your discussions fizzle.

There’s nothing like getting lost in a long book.

The 27 Best New Book Releases This Week: Aug 27-Sept 2, 2024

This week’s most read books on Goodreads have some familiar author names — in fact, they’re all titles that have been on the most read list many times before. The order is shuffled a bit from last week, but to add a more variety, I’ve included the top five most read books on Goodreads last week in three countries around the world. This time: Denmark, Malaysia, and Portugal. Denmark’s and Portugal’s most read titles this week are both not (yet?) available in English.

Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks. “[A] palm-sweat-inducing psychological thriller.”. “[The Snap] buzzes with all-too-familiar frustration at injustices. In the doubts and thrills of her story, Staple echoes the moment in a game when a bone-crunching collision has a player carted off the field. Are we allowed to enjoy this?

It’s a new week, so it’s time to take a look at the bestsellers lists! The titles that appear on all five of the biggest lists will be familiar to you: two are by Colleen Hoover and one is by Sarah J. Maas. We do have some new appearances furhter down the list, though, including Shameless: Republicans’ Deliberate Dysfunction and the Battle to Preserve Democracy by YouTuber and podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen and Men Have Called Her Crazy: A Memoir by artist Anna Marie Tendler.

Former President Barack Obama selected Liz Moore's 'The God of the Woods' as one of his favorite books of the summer. Here's my honest review.

Barack Obama Named This New Novel One of His Favorite Books of the Summer—& I Couldn’t Agree More

As fall-ready reading lists are amping up, I’m getting more and more into the upcoming season. Even if I feel like summer is still turning us every which way but loose. I’ve already looked at books I think will be big this year for book clubs, and I’ve since narrowed my focus to BIPOC books that I think will be big this year.

Like so many avid readers around the world, I was fascinated by the recent New York Times list of the Best Books of the 21st century, as voted by 503 authors, critics and book lovers. 

But like many Australians, I was disappointed to see no Australian books on the list. Even those authors who’ve made a splash in the US literary scene this century – Helen Garner, Gerald Murnane, Maria Tumarkin – didn’t get a guernsey.

That’s where we come in. The Conversation’s Books & Ideas team, seeking to right a wrong (and just very curious), asked 50 Australian literary experts...
