The 38 Best New Book Releases This Week: Sept 3-9, 2024

For the new month, we’re switching things up a bit. With this first roundup of new releases for September, I’ve compiled a souped-up list that looks into the future a bit. These are the books I and other Book Riot writers think are the best of the month. I’ve divided them up by genre and included a snippet about the book by each writer.

This week’s roundup of bestselling books is shorter than usual, because the bestseller lists could not agree. Some of the top sellers according to one list don’t appear at all on others. Kamala Harris’s memoir The Truths We Hold is #1 on the Indie Bestseller (Paperback Nonfiction) bestseller list, but doesn’t appear in the top ten of any of the others. The only thing everyone can agree on is that Colleen Hoover and Sarah J. Maas books continue to sell.

It's been more than four decades since former child star William “Billie” Thomas Jr. died in Los Angeles of a heart attack at only 49 on October 10, 1980. Best known as "Buckwheat," the character he portrayed in the original Hal Roach-ignited Our Gang/Little Rascals classic film shorts from 1934 to 1944, Thomas faced similar challenges and misfortunes of several of his co-stars and other former child actors. This is his story.

September is here! This starts my favorite time of year. Growing up, this time of year meant football season, hay rides, and back to school supplies. Now, I still love fall.

There must be at least a few retro gamers with lingering nostalgia for the Atari 7800. The modern-day Atari is betting there are. The company’s Gamescom 2024 follow-up to last year’s landmark 2600+ is not the beleaguered 5200 but 1986’s Atari 7800. Just like its previous recreation console, the new 7800+ can play your attic’s worth of dusty cartridges for the near-40-year-old console, but it has the added benefit of wireless controllers and extra-backward compatibility with 2600 games.

The Atari 7800+ Looks Just Like the Long-Forgotten Console, but Now With Games Worth Playing

Welcome to Today in Books, our daily round-up of literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more. Ask a hundred people what it means for a book to be spicy, and you’ll probably get a hundred different definitions. The concept of spicy books carries a “you know it when you see it” vibe, but people’s individual reading preferences are so personal, specific, and varied that it’s not actually helpful. When “spicy” can mean anything, it comes to mean nothing. I’ve been hoping a romance expert would address the increasing uselessness of spicy discourse, and the folks at Shelf Love have more than delivered with a look at the ways in which it flattens conversation, fails readers, and misrepresents the romance genre. I’m not sure what the solution is, since spicy is just one of the many euphemisms born of trying to evade algorithmic censorship, but I’m glad to see us talking about the problem.

What Does “Spicy” Actually Mean?
