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: This is a horror series I haven’t started yet, but maybe I will feel the urge to get started now that the third instalment has come out?
2. Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by Victoria E. Schwab
Why I Want to Read It: Scary vampires are the best kind of vampires if you ask me.
3. These Heathens by Mia McKenzie
Why I Want to Read It: History is something I enjoy reading about through both fiction and nonfiction means.
4. Savvy Summers and the Sweet Potato Crimes by Sandra Jackson-Opoku
Release Date: July 29
Why I Want to Read It: A cozy mystery? Check. A fun title? Check. A food-related plot? Check. This is exactly the kind of stuff I like to read.
5. The Sunflower Boys by Sam Wachman
Release Date: August 12
Why I Want to Read It: Everyone needs a good tearjerker sometimes. (Or at least I do!)
6. Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher
Release Date: August 19
Why I Want to Read It: T. Kingfisher is a must-read author for me.
7. The End of the World As We Know It: New Tales of Stephen King’s The Stand by Christopher Golden
Release Date: August 19
Why I Want to Read It: I loved The Stand and would like to revisit that universe, especially since Mr. King has fully authorized this spinoff.

8. The Possession of Alba Díaz by Isabel Canaz
Thank you to bookwormnai for this recommendation.
Release Date: August 25

9. Secret Lives of the Dead by Tim Lebbon
Thank you to BooksBonesBuffy! For this recommendation.
Release Date: August 26

10. Katabasis by R.F. Kuang
Release Date: August 26
Why I Want to Read It: Ms. Kuang is also on my list of authors I immediately check out when they release something new.
Oooh! Short stories from The Stand’s world sounds interesting. That was my first King novel.
it was one of my early experiences with his work, too! Hope you like it.
Enjoy these reads!
Thank you.
I want to read Schwab’s new one as well. I agree that scary vampires are the best kind 😉 Hope you enjoy all of these!
Thanks. Happy reading!
That V.E. Schwab one looks so good. I’m going to have to put that one on my own list. 😀
May you enjoy it!
I also want to read Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil and Hemlock & Silver!
Hopefully it will be good!
Cozy mysteries are fun! It’s been a while since I read one though I do watch lots with all those British mystery shows. 🙂 Thanks so much for visiting my list, and enjoy your Summer TBR!
You’re welcome, Rissi. I’ll have to check out some British mystery shows sometime.
I have to avoid scary books because I’m so susceptible to nightmares! 😱 happy summer reading!
No worries. 🙂 Happy summer reading!
Savvy Summers and the Sweet Potato Crimes sounds fun! I hope you enjoy all on your Summer TBR!
Thank you very much!
Hi, Aymee. You clearly enjoy being scared.😱 Look up Jamie Jo Wright.
I hope you enjoy each of them! Have a great summer of reading!
For sure. And thanks. 🙂
Adding Katabasis onto my TBR. I don’t usually know when new books will be published. So thanks for the heads up!

I want to read Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil too. Hope you’ll love all of these!
Thank you. Fingers crossed!
I am excited about my summer reading as well! I hope you enjoy all of these.

Doesn’t it look fun?
OOh nice ones! Some new to me ones and some that are familiar by name! Been hearing good things about Schwab’s of course! Hope you enjoy them all!
Thanks for visiting my TTT!
You’re welcome. Have a great summer of reading!
I am curious about the V.E. Schwab (although her books never really pan out for me) and also Katabasis. I think I will definitely read that one.
I have the same problem with Schwab, but I do keep trying. 🙂
Kingfisher has too many books this year 😅 hope you love your post!!
I know, right? I don’t know how she does it.
My bestie loved Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil! I’ll give it a try, although I’m not super into vampire books.
That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Savvy Summers and Sweet Potato Crimes sounds like such a fun read to me!
🙂
I’ve been seeing Hemlock and Silver all over today! I hope you enjoy all your reads. 🙂
Yes, same here. Hope it’s good.
Bury Our Bones is a popular choice this week! 🙂 I’m really looking forward to Hemlock & Silver too. Hope you enjoy your summer reading!
Thank you. You, too!
I previously read Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher so when I saw Hemlock & Silver, I had to add it to my TBR! 😍 I know this author has a lot of books already published, but I’m scared to dive into her world because I know I probably won’t get out for months 😂 And my reading challenges are already screaming at me to pick up other books 😂
Oh, too funny. She’s written some great stuff for sure.
The Savvy Summers book looks fun! I’m always on the lookout for good cozies. I hope you enjoy all these.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Fingers crossed!
Hope you enjoy these reads!
Thanks. 🙂
I’m slowly jumping aboard that Kingfisher train and I am looking forward to Hemlock & Silver
Yay! Glad to hear it. Hope you like that one.
