Spring Fling | First Novels
Mar 15, 2011Mystery and history. Romance and horror. Literary efforts and fun reads that just plain pop. Fiction comes in many different types, which explains why this list of nearly 300 forthcoming first novels (February 1, 2011–August 31, 2011) is divided into nine handy groups. (Note that Westerns and graphic novels, with one title each, were folded into pop fiction and are indicated by parentheses.) Some of these works, from Taylor Stevens’s The Informationist, to Edward Conlan’s Red on Red, to Joe Henry’s Lime Creek, already come recommended. Check these out—and more—in LJ’s reviews.
