New Book Releases in India
In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones by Arundhati Roy

The Secrets of Secrets by Dan Brown
Dan Brown’s back, and yeah, you know the drill—secret societies, cryptic symbols, puzzles that’ll make your brain hurt, and you staying up way past your bedtime to finish just one more chapter.

More Than a Shirt by Joey D’Urso
Football’s got the whole world talking again, so Joey D’Urso’s book couldn’t have picked a better moment to show up.
Instead of just what happens on the pitch, the book digs into the business, politics, and culture running underneath it all—basically the backstage pass every football fan’s always wanted. If the recent FIFA World Cup has reignited your love for the sport, this one’s worth adding to your list.
One Million Steps by Jeyamohan
Some books entertain you. Others quietly change the way you see the world.
Jeyamohan’s book falls into that second camp. It’s got philosophical depth and genuinely great storytelling wrapped into one — perfect if you’re someone who likes fiction that slows you down and makes you actually think.
It’s one of the season’s best new fiction books, and a good reminder that a story doesn’t need some big twist to actually stick with you.
Villa Coco by Andrew Sean Greer
