The light of day grows shorter, the chill is in the air,

In this feature, we look into our crystal ball to predict which books will stand out in the early months of 2017—which will make it to the top, in terms of attention, sales, and awards and prizes. We present hundreds of adult titles (spring children’s announcements will appear in the Jan.
30, 2017, issue) that we expect good things from, with the goal
of offering booksellers, librarians, and others in the industry
insight into the upcoming season.
Please note that all of these titles can be browsed by publisher, imprint, category, publication date, and format on our
website. Other information is also available there, including
author bios, marketing plans, and full descriptions of the
books. Go to publishersweekly.com/announcements to see
