Looking forward

It may have been raining plenty of late, but it is still summer. We're off on a cottage mini-break this weekend, for which we're very lucky and excited, and life is never ever better than it is in July. However the following is a list of things for which I'm looking forward to autumn (and they must be good, to make me look past July). Surprise, surprise, they're mainly bookish:

• Once by Rebecca Rosenblum (Biblioasis, September 15)
• Goldengrove by Francine Prose (Harper Collins Canada, September 3)
• The Flying Troutmans by Miriam Toews (Knopf Canada, September 2)
  
• Alfred and Emily by Doris Lessing (Harper Collins Canada)
• Lucy Maud Montgomery: The Gift of Wings by M.H. Rubio (Doubleday Canada October)
  
• When Will There Be Good News? by Kate Atkinson (Bond Street Books, September 9)
  
• What It Feels Like For A Girl by Jennica Harper (Anvil Press, September 15)
  
• Promised Land by Dar Williams (September)
