Audrey Niffenegger sells new book!

2009 at 8am     Posted by Rebecca Joines Schinsky

So, I opened up my email this morning and skimmed through today’s Shelf Awareness as I waited for my coffee to kick in.

ARC offers, bookstore updates, reviews, the usual…

Then I saw it: Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler’s Wife,  has sold the rights to her second novel Her Fearful Symmetry to Scribner after a heated bidding war. The book is slated for a late September release.

Woohooo!

The New York Times has all the details.

When I read The Time Traveler’s Wife a few months ago, I felt like I was the last person to finally read it (my review). And I won’t be letting that happen again, not if this new book even approaches being as good as the first.

So, here’s my open plea. I know it’s early. I know it will take a few more months for promotions to kick in. But if you work for Scribner or have access to ARCs, I definitely want one.

Until then, I’ll just keep dancing my little happy dance and looking forward to what promises to be a great book from a uniquely talented author.

    Woohoo! This is great news, Time Traveler’s Wife was imo a perfect book. September seems so far away, but I’m so excited :)

    I haven’t read Time Traveler’s Wife so you are not the last person on the planet to read it. LOL. I guess I need to get right on it so I can be ready for September.

    This book has already gone on my TBR. That being said, expectations are SO high for this book – I’m afraid I’m going to be disappointed!

    Swapna—I totally know what you mean. I have really high hopes as well. Same goes for Carlos Ruiz Zafon’s new novel, due out in June. I can’t imagine anything living up to The Shadow of the Wind, but I still have hope.

    I was so thrilled to see this post! I am so thrilled to hear that AN has a new book coming out. ARC or no ARC, I’ll be reading this.

Got something to say?
