Nine Books I’m Excited to Read This Summer
Not all of these are new and not all of these are out yet, but these are nine books that are practically leaping off my bookshelves this summer. Of course, these are only a few of the neverending TBR pile at home and at work, but these are a few that I’m hoping to get to sooner rather than later.
In the Unlikely Event, Judy Blume
The Ghost Network, Catie Disabato
The Life and Death of Sophie Stark, Anna North
Movie Star by Lizzie Pepper, Hilary Liftin
Land of Love and Drowning, Tiphanie Yanique
Reading Lolita in Tehran, Azar Nafisi
The Turner House, Angela Flournoy
The Folded Clock, Heidi Julavits

Stay tuned for nine books I want you to read this summer, coming soon.
