These 10 New Novels Will Make Your Days In Quarantine Fly By

Coming on March 24, The Glass Hotel is a novel with quite a few layers. Per the Goodreads description, there's white-collar crime, ghosts, money, beauty, and moral compromise sprinkled throughout this latest novel by Emily St. John Mandel. It "paints a picture of greed, guilt, fantasy, delusion, art, and the ghosts of our pasts," the description notes. Sounds like a great read to me.

Code Name Hélène is not only a fascinating piece of historical fiction based on the real-life socialite spy Nancy Wake, but it's a thriller and even a romance to boot. Follow Wake's story through her four code names during World War II and you'll be inspired by her fierce, brave personality. Code Name Hélène will be released on March 31.

For most people, once you retire it's time for rest — not so for Antonia Vega, the immigrant writer at the center of the novel Afterlife, per the Goodreads description.

So not only does Antonia not have time to grieve, but she also doesn't have time to focus on herself after retirement. Follow Antonia's story and you'll be reflecting on your own life choices and relationships. Afterlife will be released on April 7.

All Adults Here will be released May 5.

Chawtown was the final home of novelist Jane Austen, and a group of disparate people come together to try to preserve her home and legacy while enduring their own struggles, per Goodreads.

Not your typical horror story, The Only Good Indians by American Indian novelist Stephen Graham Jones is a "dark novel of revenge, cultural identity, and the cost of breaking from tradition," says Goodreads. This book has a crazy mix of social commentary, suspense, drama, and of course horror — which will make it a pretty interesting read to say the least. The story follows four American Indian men who left their culture behind, but there's an entity that's bent on revenge for a mistake they made during their childhood, and they are unwillingly thrust back to face the culture they thought they'd left behind. The Only Good Indians will be released on May 19.

If you're looking for a fun but still intelligent read, Samantha Irby's book of essays Wow, No Thank You. may just be the book you need. Irby just turned 40 and is living with her wife and two step-children in a white republican town in Michigan, according to the Goodreads description. This sounds very uncomfortable and potentially humorous already, but add in Irby's quick-witted and hilarious writing style and you've got a great book to read this spring. Wow, No Thank You. will be released on March 31.

It's no secret that a lot of women don't get taken seriously when it comes to their health, and many are written off as their feelings and illness "being in their head" if the doctors can't seem to find or fix what's wrong. Part medical drama/mystery, all memoir, The Lady's Handbook for Her Mysterious Illness: A Memoir follows Sarah Ramey's battle with a mystery illness she's had since college and sheds light on other hidden illnesses, including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic pain, and more. "Her book will open eyes, change lives, and ultimately change medicine," the Goodreads description says. I hope it's right. Look for it after its release date, March 17.
