There are so many amazing reads being published this summer! Here are ten of them that I’m looking forward to. The first five have already been released this month.
1. The Double Dutch Fuss: A Memoir by Phill Branch
Why I Want to Read It: This spring I read a celebrity memoir, so now I’m more than ready to go back to reading about the lives of average people.
2. Pool House by Mary H.K. Choi
Why I Want to Read It: Mother-daughter relationships are incredibly interesting to explore in fiction.
by Ann Larson
Why I Want to Read It: As someone who has worked multiple service industry jobs, I think social class and and the service industry should be discussed more often. There’s a lot that can be and in my opinion should be done to improve the lives of people who work these essential but low-wage positions.
4. Nymph by Sofia Montrone
Why I Want to Read It: A bittersweet summer romance novel sounds great right about now.
5. Leave and Come Back by Lavanya Lakshmi
Why I Want to Read It: Several of the titles on this list cover serious subject matter, so I’d like to balance that out with something romantic and lighthearted.
6. Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep by Paul Tremblay
Release Date: June 30
Why I Want to Read It: The Philip K. Dick reference made this a must-read for me.
7. Fabulous Bodies by Chuck Tingle
Release Date: July 7
Why I Want to Read It: Sometimes Mr. Tingle’s work is too scary for me, but I always give his new books a shot.
8. Immortal Game by Allison Saft
Release Date: August 6
Why I Want to Read It: The plot includes chess, romance, and a storyline that sounds like it’s a retelling of a Greek legend. I am curious to see how all of these topics combine together.
9. Daggerbound by T. Kingfisher
Release Date: August 25
Why I Want to Read It: I’m once again in awe at how quickly Ms. Kingfisher churns out new books. She’s someone I will be mentioning again next week.
10. Dèy by Edwidge Danticat
Release Date: August 25
Why I Want to Read It: This seems like such a thoughtful way to finish out the summer.
