Ahhh, another glorious Tuesday! By now, you know what that means: NEW BOOKS! HOORAY! If the millions of books already out in the world today don’t tickle your fancy well… maybe one of these will. Or maybe not. Don’t be so damn picky!

I suppose Tuesday new releases is a little misleading, actually. James Patterson released a new novel yesterday, which is not TECHNICALLY a Tuesday and okay — maybe not ALL books come out on Tuesdays. But a lot do! Just not this one. So, we’ll start with it!
