Genre and debut/first novel information is noted when possible - this data is derived from a variety of sources and may not be comprehensive. The genre listing information is apt to be rather subjective. Books can often be categorized in several genres. Overbooked encourages omnivorous reading across all genres.
Genre codes: A = African American, F = Fiction, GL = Gay or Lesbian, H = Historical, I=Inspirational/Christian, L = Literary, M = Multicultural, R = Romance or Romantic Suspense, SP = Speculative Fiction (Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror), SS = Short Stories, W = Western.
Some of the major hardcover titles (and a few paperbacks) scheduled for release in the U.S. All information is subject to change and dyslexic typos. A star indicates the book received at least one starred review (indicating that review source felt the title was exceptional) from the following sources: Booklist, Publisher's Weekly, Kirkus, and Library Journal.
This list is now viewable at:http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pxijjwWodUGNtf-2-nQKxbA
The list will be automatically updated when titles are added or changed.
The usual caveats about dyslexic typos, and information subject to change still apply.
