New Book Releases - May 2013

106 16
This May we say good-bye to beloved vampires and welcome the third book from a favorite author. What else is in store for this warm spring month? More books will be added as titles are announced, but here are the details of what we know so far.


'Dead Ever After' by Charlaine Harris - May 7, 2013


The thirteenth and last installment in Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire series is set for release this month. Dead Ever After will close the series that started with Dead Until Dark and inspired the hit HBO series True Blood. While the series had become a bit stale in recent books, I'm sure Trubies will still be dying to see how this series wraps up.


'Inferno' by Dan Brown - May 14, 2013

Inferno is Dan Brown's next Robert Langdon thriller, following The Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons and The Lost Symbol.


'Americanah' by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie - May 14, 2013

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was born in Nigeria. Her last novel was Half of a Yellow Sun and was released in 2006. In 2009, she released a short story collection, The Thing around Your Neck. Americanah is about two teenagers who fall in love in Nigeria. When they return to their home country and are reunited years later, much has changed in them and their country.


'And the Mountains Echoed' by Khaled Hosseini - May 21, 2013

Khaled Hosseini's debut novel, The Kite Runner, was one of the Best Books of the Last Decade. His second novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns, was equally acclaimed. In both these stories, Hosseini brought to life characters in Afghanistan, helping humanize for many Americans the people and places where we were at war post-9/11. Although America is still involved in a war in Afghanistan, it is one that gets little attention and our relationship with that country has become less of a "hot topic." Still, Hosseini is a great writer not just for his timely subject area, but also for his plot and character development. It will be interesting to see how his next book, And the Mountains Echoed, compares with his first two. As the Mountains Echoed was described early on as a novel about family relationships and how we take care of each other. I can't wait to see what that means.
