This is the Book Write Podcast. I'm Jeff O'Neill.

And I'm Rebecca Shinsky.

And today we are talking about the It books of September 20-24.

As I was putting together the 10 finalists for Rebecca to consider in our it book knockout episode.

I would read all 10 of these. I usually, I say that sometimes, but this one's going to be hard for me not to read all of them,

maybe save one just because of genre and my predilections for things like this. Super interested in all. I think the best month of the

year so far. I was looking back at some of the spring stuff we had been talking

about now. I'm going around to the other point where I feel like I'm repeating that we're saying it's going to be a week fall

September is strong I think what we might see is that October is weaker this is a very very strong

September especially Jeff Rebecca core kinds of things that bleed over into commercial lit fick, but a very strong situation there.

I want to point you to a couple of things before we get started. In the feed, our most recent Patreon

episode which is on Patreon now is our fall draft. So you heard us talk about some of

those there if you're a Patreon member, but also in combination with the rest of the fall. A lot of these, almost all of these got picked.

Oh good. I think seven out of ten maybe got picked. I didn't go double check. Another thing that you might want to check out is over on the book ride podcast newsletter. I'll put a link in the show,

notes book ride.com slash listen. I did a photo dump of bookish European travel photos,

bookstores and libraries and statues

and other things over there.

And that's a good way to keep up what's going on with the show.

Also, you can see a picture of my kids

shoving gelato into each other's face.

That's a great one for you all.

So check that out.
