Everything Happens Today by Jesse Browner (September 27)
Meet Wes — a seventeen-year-old Manhattanite who attends an elite prep school and lives in a Greenwich Village townhouse with his family, who is falling apart. “In the course of one day everything will happen to Wes: he will lose his virginity to the wrong girl and break his own heart, try to meet a Monday morning deadline for a paper on War and Peace, and prepare an elaborate supper he hopes will reunite his family.”

I’m ridiculously excited for The Art of Fielding. I’m not so much of a baseball fan, but I fall for a lot of sports novels/TV shows etc where it’s about more than just the sport. The excerpt Vanity Fair ran earlier this week was promising too.
I think The Night Circus could be potentially interesting, but I’ve been hearing so much buzz about it for months now I’m wondering whether it will really live up to half the success of the Harry Potters/Twilights etc or if it’s more wishful thinking hype.
As for me, I’m still catching up with some buzzy books from July & August. Just finished Kevin Wilson’s The Family Fang, which I thought was great. Next up is Alice LaPlante’s Turn of Mind. Also TBR: The Leftovers (big Perrotta fan), The Submission, This Beautiful Life, We the Animals, Rules of Civility…too much great-sounding stuff out there but not enough time.

Harbach–h, not k.
It’s been fixed. Thanks, MarieGrace.
The Night Circus blurb should say that the magicians live in the late 1800s, not early. Most of the book takes place in the last three decades of the 19th century.
