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
If you’re posting about books by/about women you want to read this summer, tag me - I’d love to see them.
Stay tuned for nine books I want you to read this summer, coming soon.

Several people told me to read The Folded Clock, so I did. It’s both immensely pleasurable and also really interesting when read as a companion to the author’s previous book, The Vanishers. While I also admired that book a lot– and enjoyed it in a certain way– I found it to be immensely UNpleasurable to read. The Vanishers is a work of fiction (of the mostly fantastical type) and The Folded Clock is a supposedly non-fictional diary but both are convincing portraits of the type of person prone to supernatural episodes and, more importantly, PSYCHIC ATTACK.
(Many people probably find this type of person to be very obnoxious but I don’t, at least not to read about.)
