Bookstores and libraries will undergo big changes in November.

There are always new books hitting shelves, of course, but the first couple weeks of November are unusually jammed with big-name authors such as Patti Smith (the “Just Kids” writer has another memoir, “Bread of Angels”), Nate Berkus (the designer wrote “Foundations,” about making a home) and, inevitably, Taylor Swift (she’s not the author of “Swifterature,” actually, but Elly McCausland’s book is about the relationship between Swift’s lyrics and literature).

You can look for reviews of the latest from Stewart O’Nan (“Evensong”), Simon Winchester (“The Breath of the Gods”) and many others in the Minnesota Star Tribune next month. But here are five more November books we have our eye on:

Becoming the Twin Cities, Drew M. Ross
