Hope everyone’s summer reading is going well. I’m perpetually behind on my list and still trying to catch up on a bunch of new releases, but there’s some great books coming out in July.
Most notably, Colson Whitehead’s The Nickel Boys has been on my wishlist ever since I found out about it. I keep hearing amazing things about it, so I’m pretty sure I’m going to love it. I’ve also never read anything of his, so I feel like I need to cross that off my list.
Also, I’m not very familiar with Silvia Moreno-Garcia, but Gods of Jade and Shadow sounds exactly like the type of book I usually love. Mexican folklore? Mayan gods? An adventure through the jungles of Yucatán!? Sign me up.
I’m thinking those two will be my top priorities for July. See the full list of July reads below!
Which of these books will you be reading in July? (If you’re on a feed reader, click here to view the list.)
Great list, I have the Nickel Boys on my TBR as well. I haven’t heard of the rest, but will look into them
thank you! I’m looking forward to it too!
I read Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad last year and loved it. Thanks for bringing Nickel Boys into my radar! I’ll add it to my wish list of books to buy and read for after I get through my TBR pile. :)
glad to be of service! yeah I never got around to underground railroad, so I’m trying to make sure I definitely read the Nickel Boys :)
None of these are on my radar. I’ll be interested to read your reviews of them before I dive in!
Awesome! Thanks for following along!
Great list! The book I’m looking forward to the most is Wilder Girls. It just looks and sounds super creepy and amazing–this would’ve definitely been a cover buy if I didn’t know what it was about. Gods of Jade and Shadow sounds really good too though, thanks for putting that on my radar :D
Thanks! Yeah, Wilder Girls sounds interesting, I’m curious to see if it lives up to the hype, but that cover is just amazing either way haha
I know, I’m hoping it lives up to the hype 😅 Will be so bummed out otherwise! The dangers of insanely hyped books haha
these look interesting! thanks for letting me know
Thanks for dropping by! :)
