Barbara Kingsolver
You may know Kingsolver from The Poisonwood Bible or The Greer Family series. This October she's back with an innovative retelling of a Dickens classic.
Cormac McCarthy
The estimable Mr. McCarthy is already in the inner sanctum for stone-cold classics like Blood Meridian and The Road. His new novel The Passenger is the first of a two-book series coming this fall.
Fredrik Backman
Swedish author Backman made his first big splash with the funny and bittersweet 2012 novel A Man Called Ove. Backman’s latest is the third in his critically acclaimed Beartown Series.
Elizabeth Strout
Strout is revered for her detailed characterizations in novels including the Pulitzer Prize-winning Olive Kitteridge. Her new book finds returning character Lucy Barton riding out the pandemic.
Stephen King
The wily old veteran King has been riding a late-career groove (The Institute, Billy Summers). His new novel doubles back to an earlier style of dimensional portals and questing young heroes.
John Grisham
The undisputed king of the legal thrillers has a loooong list of blockbusters, half of which have been turned into movies. Grisham returns with a twisty tale of the Dixie mafia, and two families on a collision course in Louisiana.
John Irving
The author of several beloved classics (The Cider House Rules, The World According to Garp) Irving is back on the shelves for the first time in seven years with a ghost story / love story set in 1941 Colorado.
Ian McEwan
Kate Atkinson
International bestselling author Atkinson inspired a devoted and loyal following with books including Life After Life and 2018’s Transcription. Her new story explores the dark underbelly of 1920s London.

100% Agreed.
Also read 3 of Fredrik Backman...I still think A Man Called Ove is his best book.
