Sorry I’m so late with my anticipated reads for July - June has been such a busy month! But it’s not too late - there’s still time to make your library holds and pre-orders for July! Here are my anticipated books of July, in order by US publication date:
Last year I only had one five star book all year, so I'm pretty happy that I have already discovered by third 5 star book of the year - When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill. I don’t know if I can find the words to describe how much I loved this book! It’s set in the 1950s and 60s in a world just like our own - except that some women have been spontaneously transforming into dragons. No one talks about it and the government tries to cover it up, but our protagonist, Alex, first saw it happen when she was just 4 years old. The book is told as the older Alex reminiscing about her childhood and how it was affected by the dragonning, interspersed with bits of news articles and scholarly writing about it.
Time to get those library holds and pre-orders in as I’m here with a look at my most anticipated books of June 2022! I have a lot of these from Netgalley, but I’ve been so distracted by the exciting releases of May and book club books that I haven’t gotten to any of them yet! Hopefully I will read them soon.
Happy to share my latest 5 star book with you - This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub. I loved this book so much!
Absolutely ridiculous how many awesome sounding books are coming out in May 2022! I’ve already read a few and have ARCs of some of the others that I’ll try to get to soon; but for way too many of the books below I was denied by Netgalley and have to wait on the library. I'm also excited so many rom coms are coming out - I haven't done as much light reading lately, and it's just what I need to kick off summer reading season!
Excited to bring you my most anticipated books publishing in April 2022. So many good sounding books coming out next month, with a ridiculous amount of then all coming out on April 5th! I’ve already read a few and have ARCs of some of the others that I’ll try to get to soon; others I’ll be reading once they are published. Here they are, in order of publication date:
Happy to give my first 5 star review of the year to Notes on an Execution by Danya Kukafka!
