New December Releases

Published: December 7, 2022

Get Your Hands On These New And Upcoming Titles

Finish 2022 off strong by reading a few of these new books!

Composite of 10 book covers.

"Roses, in the Mouth of a Lion" by Bushra Rehman is a fierce examination of female friendship, queer love and navigating family expectations with self-discovery that takes place in the Pakistani-American community of Queens in the 1980s. Award-winning author Jane Smiley has a new book out. "A Dangerous Business" features two women in 1850s California who use detective skills learned from Edgar Allen Poe stories to hunt a serial killer the police aren’t interested in pursuing.

Explore the ways humans have tried to harness the cold throughout history and the effects it’s had — from preserving food to melting ice caps — in "Of Ice and Men" by Fred Hogge. Enjoy famed Maître D’ Michael Cecchi-Azzolina's dishy memoir "Your Table is Ready" which is full of stories about what really goes on at New York’s trendiest restaurants.

Young readers will pour over the illustrations in Jason Chin’s "The Universe in You" that keeps taking a deeper and deeper look at what makes up our body, that looking through an ever more powerful microscope.

Teen readers will be drawn in by Tessa Brunton’s graphic novel memoir "Notes from a Sickbed," a painfully real look at her life living with chronic fatigue syndrome.
