The following is a list of novels releasing in 2017 that I look forward to reading. My selection process may be a bit different than other “top upcoming novels” lists in that, to avoid spoilers, I have read very little about what the books themselves are about.
The Fiddlehead office will be closed for the holiday season until January 2, 2017. We would like to wish all of our readers, subscribers, and friends a happy holidays and all the best for a happy 2017!

My reading list tends to serve as research for what I’m writing and lately, because I have a few different projects on the go, my reading has been very eclectic. To take a note from Joseph Campbell, and I’ve taken many, the bulk of my list has been selected by telling myself “follow your bliss!” — a highly scientific process. This philosophy has taken me everywhere from Camus’ The Stranger to Robert Marasco’s Burnt Offerings.
November has been National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), and on Sunday, Dec. 4, odd sundays will offer local novel writers an opportunity to read from their work. So come to Corked Wine Bar, 83 Regent St. at 2 P.M. on Sunday, Dec. 4, to hear some of the Fredericton participants in NaNoWriMo 2016 read excerpts from their novels.
