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.
Clean up on Aisle Five sounds interesting, thanks for sharing your #TTT
You’re welcome. I hope you like it.
I was looking at Cleanup on Aisle Five yesterday, too, along with Lydia’s book on sunlight.
Yes, I saw that one, too. May you enjoy them both. 🙂
I am *SO* excited about Daggerbound!
Honestly, same here. 🙂
I hope you enjoy these when you get a chance to read them. Have a great week!
Thank you!
These sound good. I hope you enjoy them.
Thank you very much!
Leave and Come Back is a fun read! Enjoy!
So glad to hear that. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve seen Swordheart and Daggerbound on a few lists and the covers are absolutely gorgeous!!! I hope you enjoy it!
Thank you. Yes, their covers are amazing.
An interesting mix of books there. Enjoy!
Have a great week!
Thank you. Have a great week as well.
Well even though different books we have the same author on our list. I have never read T Kingfisher so will be a new experience for me.
That’s so cool! Thanks for sharing.
Hope you love these! I’ll keep an eye out for your thoughts on Dead but Dreaming!
Thank you. Here’s hoping I’ll like it!
Hope you enjoy these! I’ll keep an eye out for your thoughts on dead but dreaming!
Thank you very much!
I only recognize The Pool House. I read it and it has a lot of mother/daughter drama, but it is really good! I hope you get a chance to enjoy all of these this summer.
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed that title.
What’s equally impressive as T. Kingfisher’s speed of writing and publishing is her quality–I put off reading her for so long because I thought the quantity of her writing would make the quality suffer, but I’ve really enjoyed both books of hers that I’ve read!
Yes, I was happily surprised by that as well. Good for her. 🙂
Great selection! I hope you enjoy them! Happy Tuesday!
Thank you. Happy Tuesday!
I’m VERY excited for Daggerbound
That’s awesome. Happy reading!
Great list! I’m adding Clean Up On Aisle Five to my TBR list.
Thank you. I hope you like it.
CLEAN UP ON AISLE 5 does sound super interesting. I might have to check that one out. I hope you enjoy all these!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Thank you. Happy reading!
Hope you enjoy all on your Summer TBR! Have a great week!
Thank you, and you as well!
Hope you enjoy these! Looks like there is a varied selection for you to enjoy. 🙂 Bunches of thanks for visiting my list this week!
You’re quite welcome. There are so many interesting books coming out soon. 🙂
Cleanup on Aisle Five sounds really interesting! I have also worked low-paying service jobs. Everything about them is difficult.
Oh, absolutely. I wish we lived in a world that treated all workers fairly.
I don’t read a lot of non-fiction, but Clean Up on Aisle Five looks good. I only wonder if those who haven’t worked in the service industry will read something like that. They’re the ones who need to!
I hope you get to enjoy all of the books on your list.
I completely agree with you there, and I hope they do read it.
Happy reading to you as well!
These are all new to me!
Isn’t it fun when that happens? 🙂
