84 New Paperbacks to Take with You Everywhere
This one is pretty straightforward: Below we’ve gathered recently released paperback editions of popular books from across all genres, fiction, and nonfiction. Each of the titles here has been published in paperback format between late March and early July 2024. Think of this as the digital version of the New Paperbacks table at your favorite bookstore.
It's easy to say there’s something for everyone in a collection like this. And that’s what we like about it. It’s easy. Rolls off the keyboard. But in the case of this specific set of books, it also happens to be true. We’ve got murder and spirit mediums in 1873 France. Three generations of mothers and daughters in a story that moves from Vietnam to Florida. And for fans of this very specific microgenre, the heartwarming adventures of a queer mountain lion. No, really.
Also look for recent paperback releases from Alice Hoffman, William Kent Krueger, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Riley Sager, Brandon Sanderson, Lisa See, Colson Whitehead, and Barack Obama’s better half.
Click on the book cover images for more information about each title. And if you find something that you think might fit your pocket, purse, or cargo-pants pocket*, click the Want to Read button to add it to your personal bookshelf.
* This is how we carry around our paperbacks at Goodreads World Headquarters. Consider this a bonus pro tip for power readers, provided here at no additional cost.

I plan to read Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Is it any good? Can you recommend me a book to read from this list?

As for the others, I have The Only One Left by Riley Sager downloaded on my kindle and I'm excited to start it soon

The queer lion is perfect for people who actually wear cargo pants...

I felt like her writing was very heavy-handed. I did learn a new word, but I found it ridiculous that the characters were throwing around the word "jejune" in every day conversation.
I saw on another list that you like sci-fi. You should def check out the Red Rising saga. Light Bringer is my fav on this list and it's the 6th book in the series.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but most of these look to be of the trade paperback type of book, and I would question the ability to fit them in a pocket. Now, a mass market paperback, absolutely, I pocket one of those often. The larger trade paperback is less likely the kind of book you would risk damaging for portability, yeah? Any shuffling with other items in a bag is a risk. I'd rather put a hardcover in a backpack than one of these, if I care about the condition at all.
Most pb releases are now trade paperback. If there is a mass market edition, it usually comes out several months after the trade paperback.
I am glad to see How To Say Babylon has a 4.47 rating--one of the higher ones I have seen on here---as it is truly magnificent! I wonder why this book has not gotten more buzz. It's an incredible memoir, lush poetic writing.
