Book conferences and author events are great ways to sell
books and spread the word about new releases. Unfortunately, many events are
being canceled because of Coronavirus/COVID-19. Authors and publishers rely on these events
for their income. To help the book community, I’ve put together a post
featuring new releases, upcoming releases, and books by authors whose events
have been canceled.
Obviously, the best way to help the book community is to buy
books (preferably from independent bookshops). But, I completely understand if
you can’t go to a bookstore or spend money right now. You can help the people in this post by adding their books to your Goodreads shelves, talking about the
books on social media, requesting the books from your library, or buying books online.
AUTHORS: I’ll keep updating and promoting this post for as
long as necessary. I’ll add your book to the list. You can put a link to your
book in the comments and/or add it to my Twitter thread. Please send me links if you have a book that was published in the last 6 months, an upcoming release, or you were part of an
event that got canceled.
AUTHORS WHOSE BOOKS ARE ON THE LIST: Let me know if I messed
up your book’s info. I’ll fix it.
BLOGGERS: If you think a book belongs on this list, send me a
link! If you want to use your own blog to help authors, feel free to steal
whatever you need from this post. I give you permission to use my list and
graphics. If you have a blog post about the books that are being impacted by
Coronavirus, send me a link. I’ll put it in this post.
READERS: Please buy books if it's financially possible for you! I'd also love some links to awesome independent bookstores.

The Deep by Alma Katsu
G.P. Putnam’s Sons
March 10, 2020
Someone, or something,
is haunting the Titanic.
This is the only way to explain the series of misfortunes that have plagued the passengers of the ship from the moment they set sail: mysterious disappearances, sudden deaths. Now suspended in an eerie, unsettling twilight zone during the four days of the liner's illustrious maiden voyage, a number of the passengers—including millionaires Madeleine Astor and Benjamin Guggenheim, the maid Annie Hebbley and Mark Fletcher—are convinced that something sinister is going on . . . And then, as the world knows, disaster strikes.
Years later and the world is at war. And a survivor of that fateful night, Annie, is working as a nurse on the sixth voyage of the Titanic's sister ship, the Britannic, now refitted as a hospital ship. Plagued by the demons of her doomed first and near fatal journey across the Atlantic, Annie comes across an unconscious soldier she recognizes while doing her rounds. It is the young man Mark. And she is convinced that he did not—could not—have survived the sinking of the Titanic . . .

A powerful tale of betrayal and abandonment from a stunning
new voice. When a brother and sister receive a letter from the father they
haven't seen in twenty years, they must confront long-buried tensions in ways
that will change them forever.
A man hit Ava with his car, a few miles from her bungalow. He brings her flowers in hospital, and offers to do her laundry. He also brings her the letter she dropped that night on the road.
In New York, Ava's brother Michael receives the same letter. He thinks about it as he steps out of the shower into his curtainless bedroom. A naked woman stares at him from the apartment across. They both laugh and cover up with their arms.
Brother and sister cannot avoid the letter: their estranged father is dying and wants to meet. Can they forgive their father, and face each other after all these years apart? Will new unexpected friends offer the advice and comfort they need?

Nature Obscura: A City’s Hidden Natural World by Kelly Brenner
Mountaineers Books
April 1, 2020
With
wonder and a sense of humor, Nature Obscura
author Kelly Brenner aims to help us rediscover our connection to the natural
world that is just outside our front door—we just need to know where to look.
Through explorations of a rich
and varied urban landscape, Brenner reveals the complex micro-habitats and
surprising nature found in the middle of a city. In her hometown of Seattle,
which has plowed down hills, cut through the land to connect fresh and
saltwater, and paved over much of the rest, she exposes a diverse range of
strange and unknown creatures. From shore to wetland, forest to neighborhood
park, and graveyard to backyard, Brenner uncovers how our land alterations have
impacted nature, for good and bad, through the wildlife and plants that live
alongside us, often unseen. These stories meld together, in the same way our
ecosystems, species, and human history are interconnected across the urban
environment.
Worn On This Day: The Clothes That Made History
by Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell
Running Press Adult
November 5, 2019
This stunning visual
guide is a journey of discovery through fashion’s fascinating history, one day
at a time.
Beginning on January 1st and ending on December 31st, Worn On This Day looks at garments worn on monumental occasions across centuries, offering capsule fashion histories of everything from space suits to wedding gowns, Olympics uniforms, and armor. It creates thought-provoking juxtapositions, like Wallis Simpson’s June wedding and Queen Elizabeth’s June coronation, or the battered shoes Marie-Antoinette and a World Trade Center survivor wore to escape certain death, just a few calendar days apart.
In every case there is a newsworthy narrative behind the garment, whether famous and glamorous or anonymous and humble. Prominent figures like Abraham Lincoln, Marilyn Monroe, and the Duchess of Cambridge are represented alongside ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events. Beautifully illustrated throughout, Worn On This Day presents a revelatory mash-up of styles, stories, and personalities.

Lost in undisturbed forest and with nothing but the clothes on her back, Ashley must figure out how to survive despite the red streak of infection creeping up her leg.

Divya
Sharma is a queen. Or she is when she’s playing Reclaim the Sun, the year’s
hottest online game. Divya—better known as popular streaming gamer
D1V—regularly leads her #AngstArmada on quests through the game’s vast and
gorgeous virtual universe. But for Divya, this is more than just a game. Out in
the real world, she’s trading her rising-star status for sponsorships to help
her struggling single mom pay the rent.
Gaming is basically Aaron Jericho’s entire life. Much to his mother’s frustration, Aaron has zero interest in becoming a doctor like her, and spends his free time writing games for a local developer. At least he can escape into Reclaim the Sun—and with a trillion worlds to explore, disappearing should be easy. But to his surprise, he somehow ends up on the same remote planet as celebrity gamer D1V.
At home, Divya and Aaron grapple with their problems alone, but in the game, they have each other to face infinite new worlds . . . and the growing legion of trolls populating them. Soon the virtual harassment seeps into reality when a group called the Vox Populi begin launching real-world doxxing campaigns, threatening Aaron’s dreams and Divya’s actual life. The online trolls think they can drive her out of the game, but everything and everyone Divya cares about is on the line.
And she isn’t going down without a fight.

Growing
up in New York, brothers Emil and Brighton always idolized the Spell Walkers—a
vigilante group sworn to rid the world of specters. While the Spell Walkers and
other celestials are born with powers, specters take them, violently stealing
the essence of endangered magical creatures.
Brighton wishes he had a power so he could join the fray. Emil just wants the fighting to stop. The cycle of violence has taken a toll, making it harder for anyone with a power to live peacefully and openly. In this climate of fear, a gang of specters has been growing bolder by the day.
Then, in a brawl after a protest, Emil manifests a power of his own—one that puts him right at the heart of the conflict and sets him up to be the heroic Spell Walker Brighton always wanted to be.
Brotherhood, love, and loyalty will be put to the test, and no one will escape the fight unscathed.

What a great resource, Aj! I felt a little silly posting a picture of books on my IG this morning, but then I realized, books make me happy and they are one of the few things I can control right now, so I'm going to keep posting about things that make me happy! Plus, lots of people probably have a lot of extra time to read now!
ReplyDeleteThis is great AJ!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post love! I just ordered some books from a local indie because who knows how long this will last.
ReplyDeleteThorn is a book I want to read so I'll definitely buy!
This is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love that cover for Out of Touch!
This is amazing! I am definitely checking out if the local bookshops here deliver too.
ReplyDeleteLove that you shared this :)
Hi AJ - thanks for this ... reminds me I must learn Goodreads ... so I've kept your post open.
ReplyDeleteWonderful bookshop that Lauren promotes ... Blue Manatee Literacy Project - looks to be very worthwhile ...
Take care one and all - cheers Hilary
I also would like to read this one: NATURE OBSCURA: A CITY’S HIDDEN NATURAL WORLD BY KELLY BRENNER - I'll check it out - cheers Hilary
DeleteThis is a great resource, AJ. Thanks for putting it together.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea, AJ! Thank you for curating the list.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree AJ. I hope to buy a few books I'd been promising myself for spring so I'll try to get them. I need to get back into my reading and reviewing. And I plan to be on my blog daily and interacting with everyone as much as I can-maybe even using Twitter a bit more each day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea AJ! I hope it helps those who're impacted.

AJ this is such an AWESOME thing to do! I have all of my Goodreads shelves broken down into months, so I can definitely take a look at some books that will need some love in the coming months!
ReplyDeleteI heard about events being cancelled. I usually can't attend those event,s but I can definitely see how it's great way for authors and publishers to promote books. I've been trying to buy books as normal when possible and even found some great deals of authors who discounted their books.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing resource!! <3 When shops around me started closing temporarily, I jumped online and ordered giftcards from them to be held at the shop until this all clears up. It's just a little thing, but if more people jumped on and did the same, it could have a great impact.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great resource. Thanks so much for creating and sharing, AJ!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this post, AJ! I really admire you and all of the other folks who are promoting ways to support authors, bookstores, etc. during these tough times. I saw that you listed some links to independent bookstores - in case you're interested, I've added a link below to a directory that lists indie bookstores - by state - that currently offer shipping and/or curbside pickup. :-)

What a wonderful idea! When we start "homeschooling" tomorrow, one project I'm planning on us doing is leaving positive Amazon reviews and requesting our library system buy books.
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely! I already have tabs open to check out some of these books! Definitely saving this post for future use :)
