This looks like it’s going to be a fabulous summer of reading! Here are the titles I’m most excited for and why I can’t wait to read them. If no release date is included, this means they’re already available to buy or hopefully even borrow from your local library if you have one.
I discovered two of them on other Top Ten Tuesday TBR posts earlier this year, so I will be thanking those bloggers individually later on in this post.
Isn’t it awesome when this blog hop introduces you to new books that are right up your alley?
1. The Immortal Choir Holds Every Voice by Margaret Killjoy

Why I Want to Read It: Scary vampires are the best kind of vampires if you ask me.
