THIS IS AN ACTUAL TRAGEDY coming May '27 @aaknopf 🇺🇸 @boroughpress 🇬🇧

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The Harper Collins Spring Debuts box last year had Yesteryear in.. so you just KNOW that there are epic gems amongst 2027’s debuts and perhaps this box is full of them! These books all sound completely brilliant;

✨ This is an Actual Tragedy by Natalie Rose Richardson
Some will call it a game. Others will call it an accident. Some will call it fate. All will call it a tragedy. Dubbed The Secret History for the 21st Century - this comes out in May (no cover revealed yet but once it is, it’ll be up for pre order!)

✨ Henry by Caroline Wray
This blazing literary debut is an epic, electrifying contemporary reimagining of the lives of Henry VIII’s six wives AND gosh don’t we need this?! Six wives. Six Lives. The World DOESN’T revolve around Henry. From first love to death bed, these six women orbit each other, their lives irrevocably altered by the gravitational pull of Henry… until they finally break free.

✨ Read me Like a Book by Anna James
Now anything compared to Ashley Poston’s incredible writing has me listening - and a book about books?! A very unbookish woman stumbles on secret doorway in a bookshop that thrusts her into the world of Pride and Prejudice in this sparkling adult debut from Number One New York Times bestselling author Anna James. Another that will be up for pre order when the cover is revealed!

✨ Don’t You Miss it by Julia Pike
Described as THE heart-wrenching book of 2027 (bold but can see it!), three best friends from university, burning brightly on the cusp of adulthood, face a loss that tests and transforms them, in this stunning, inventive debut. An ode to friendship, true connections, and moving forward when all we really want is to go back… this sounds like something we need in 2027!

Thank you HC! Looking forward to all of these - think there’s a queue lining up for Henry ;)
