If you’ve spent any time around the publishing industry lately (as a reader, writer, consumer of published books, etc) you might know that there is a serious supply chain issue headed our way this fall. Of course, supply chain issues are ubiquitous a year and half into a global pandemic, but they might affect the publishing industry you’ve come to know and love in ways you might not expect. It’s not just that books might not be on the shelves when you wander in to your favorite brick and mortar to buy them; it’s highly likely that the books you want might not be published at all.

Yeah. It’s dire.

What can we do? Well apart from doing everything you can to support authors by buying their books, and supporting bookstores by NOT USING AMAZON, one of the best ways to help ensure that your favorite authors and the new ones you’ve yet to meet get in our tiny hot hands this holiday season is to PRE-ORDER THOSE BITCHES.

Pre-ordering helps publishers not only know that a book will sell well, it helps them be prepared for the demand, and it creates a tangential demand for similar books to be pushed to market. You want to keep reading that dark academia reverse harem romance? Pre-order those bad boys (pun intended) now.

“But, Beth,” you might say, “I don’t know what books are coming out this fall that I need to pre-order now.” I don’t relate to you, but I will help you. Here is a list of my most anticipated reads for before the holidays.

The links will take you to Goodreads, but please purchase these from your favorite indie book store, if you can. It helps so many arms of the publishing industry to cut Bezos out of our book shelves. If you don’t have an indie that you use or like, use mine: Novel Memphis.

Alright, friends, this should get you started on a good streak of amazing books to purchase this fall, if you have the means. If you are a Library Request person, go ahead and put holds on what you want through the end of the year, if your library allows that. That also can go a long way to hyping up the publishing industry, and really helps authors.
