A
nd if you already have beach reads
on the brain, here's what's ahead:
Committed, Elizabeth Gilbert. A
follow-up to the author's hugely popular
memoir Eat, Pray, Love.
Noah's Compass, Anne Tyler. The
Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist draws
upon her Southern roots growing up in
Raleigh to fashion quirky, humorous and
insightful tales.
House Rules, Jodi Picoult. It's
sure to be another tearjerker from the
perennial bestselling author.
Ape House, Sara Gruen. The
author's first novel since Water for
Elephants.
The Hope You Need, Rick
Warren. It might be hard for the writer
and pastor to follow The Purpose Driven
Life, the bestselling hardcover of all time.
The Girl Who Kicked the
Hornet's Nest,
Stieg Larsson. The
back story is just as intriguing as his
novels: the author died in 2004, shortly
after delivering the manuscripts for his
Millennium series, thrillers that became
international bestsellers.
International, Michael Crichton.
Two works were discovered after the
author's death in 2008. The first was
published last year. The second is
expected to be finished and released this
fall.
Freedom, Jonathan Franzen. The
author's fourth novel is tentatively
scheduled for release this year, his first
since 2001's The Corrections.
Solar, Ian McEwan. The latest novel
by the Booker Prize-winning novelist.
The Last Song, Nicholas Sparks.
And what's a year without a new release
from the author of The Notebook and
Message in a Bottle.
