Upcoming Releases - September 6 - 12

Last week I had planned to do two Upcoming Releases as there were so many releases I was interested in, I couldn't put it in one post.  But with school starting this week and being away for the weekend, I just didn't have time to do the other one.  Oh well, life is picking up again and some things end up taking a back seat, even when you have good intentions.  I don't know how some of you can manage to keep up with everything you do!!!

Here are some books I am interested in for this week's Upcoming Releases:
