Eight Upcoming Book Releases to Keep on Your Radar This Year
M.M.LaFleur’s resident book expert shares her 2024 reading list.
Happy New Year! I’m Taylor, M.M.’s Senior Manager of Retail, and I’m excited to talk books with you all.
During the pandemic, I realized I wasn’t reading as much as I had in the past. I decided to start a bookstagram (an Instagram account focused on books and bookish things) to hold myself accountable to my reading goals and try out a new hobby. Thus, @tayreadsalot was born.
Since then, I’ve significantly increased the number of books I’m reading each year; I have been able to work with some amazing authors and publishers to post about new releases; and I’ve leaned into the creative writing I left behind in undergrad.
Originally, I was going to share look back at some of the best reads of 2023 in addition to exciting new releases this year. But when I sat down to write, I found myself more excited by what’s to come, by this year that has only just begun. Yes, it would have been fun to talk about Fourth Wing (don’t lie, I know you read it) and the Britney Spears autobiography (I read it in two days), but there’s something about 2024 that has me looking forward, with little desire to look back. I’m ready for a refreshing start packed with endless possibilities and growth.
So, with that, let’s talk about some exciting new releases coming out early this year:

Thank you!
1. The Fury, Alex Michaelides
This one is for all of you who crave a good thriller. Michaelides is the author of The Silent Patient and The Maidens, and he’s back with a story about a movie star’s trip to Greece that gets upended by a murder.
2. Good Material, Dolly Alderton
If you’re unfamiliar with Dolly Alderton, I hope this is the year you’ll get to know her fondly. Her new story takes a different approach to the classic breakup topic and is written from the male perspective. The story is funny and relatable with a conversational voice, making you feel like you’re hearing from a best friend.
3. Come and Get It, Kiley Reid
After her wildly successful debut, Such a Fun Age, Reid is coming out with a new novel that promises the same character depth and entanglement. This time, an RA at the University of Arkansas who wants to graduate, get married, and buy a house gets involved with a traveling professor and writer after being offered an unusual opportunity.
