5 Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books
to Watch For in November

Featuring clockwork thieves, haunted islands, the return of Erin Morgenstern, and more…

By Leah Schnelbach

Remember, remember—actually, what the heck is up with the 5th of November? All of my SFF recommendations this month are publishing on that same, auspiciously book-stuffed day! Perhaps the publishing industry understands that as we come to grips with The Month of Gift-Giving, closely followed by The Months When No One Wants To Leave The House, they need to load us up with potential presents and stuff to read. Whatever the reason is, tomorrow is going to be one hell of a Tuesday for Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Come gaze upon the wonders of clockwork thieves, troll-based mysteries, dark myths, haunted islands, and the return of a beloved fantasy author! Check out the list at Literary Hub.

We’re excited to see one of our book club picks — Erin Morgenstern’s The Starless Sea — featured here. You can read more about it, as well as the other books we’re featuring, on our Books in the Bag page.
