The Top 5 New Books of October 2017

Hey There Internet! Another month has passed, which means more books to read are coming out! Here are five that will be released in October that I think you'll love.

1. Turtles All The Way Down by John Green. 

via Amazon.

What it is: A young teen named Aza and her best friend Daisy go on a hunt to find a fugitive billionaire, for which there's a 100,000 dollar reward at stake.

Why I chose it: John Green is a fantastic author and I think the entire book sphere is excited for his new release, the first since The Fault In Our Stars. 

Turtles All The Way Down is available October 10th. 

2. The Sun and her Flowers by Rupi Kaur.

via Amazon.

What it is: A book of poetry about growth, healing, and celebrating love in all forms. 

Why I chose it: Milk and Honey was a big success, and I'm sure Kaur's next book will be as well. Plus, the cover is gorgeous. 

the sun and her flowers is available now. 

3. Dear Martin by Nic Stone. 

via Goodreads. 

What it is: Justyce is a high school kid at the top of his class and headed for an ivy league. He starts a journal to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in hopes that he can find out if his teachings are relevant to the race relations in America today. 

Why I chose it: It's hard-hitting and raw, about police brutality and race relations in America. 

Dear Martin is available October 17th. 

4. Piper by Jay Asher and Jessica Freeburg. 

via Penguin Random House.

What it is: A graphic novel about a deaf girl named Maggie who meets the man of her dreams, who could turn out to be her worse nightmare. 

Why I chose it: I love graphic novels and this one seems really interesting, plus it's a retelling of The Pied Piper, and Y'all know I love a good retelling. 

Piper will be available October 31st. (Wicca Wicca Woo!)

5. It Devours! By Joseph Fink and Jeffery Cranor. 

via Night Vale. 

What it is: A girl is new to the creeping town of Night Vale, and starts working for the top scientist, who sends her on a mission that makes her question the ties between science and her faith.

Why I chose it: I love the podcast Welcome to Night Vale, and I think everything Fink and Cranor produce is fantastic.

It Devours! is available October 17th.
