November 2021 Top Titles at Public Libraries

Only a few of the November Top Titles are new to the list. Among the stand-alone titles wasNever, a political thriller by Ken Follett. Weighing in at 800 pages, Never is an "action-packed, globe-spanning drama." A number of series also received new sequels: Diana Gabaldon released the eighth "Outlander" book,Go Tell the Bees That I am Gone; Janet Evanovich released the 28th "Stephanie Plum" book,Game On: Tempting Twenty-Eight; David Baldacci released a fouth "Atlee Pine" bookMercy; and Michael Connelly released the fourth "Renée Ballard and Harry Bosch Novel,"The Dark Hours.
