Best New Books to Read in August 2019


august 2019 summer best books new release reading

With the August 2019 book releases just around the corner, here’s my roundup of what’s new and notable!

I’m thinking that the new Ruth Ware mystery, The Turn of the Key will most likely be on my reading list for next month.

After that, maybe I might try reading Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center. It falls in the romance genre, which isn’t always my favorite, but it’s gotten fantastic reviews, so I might make an exception. I’ve definitely enjoyed my fair share of chick lit in the past, so I do like a little romance, it’s just that I tend to be picky about it.

The author of Keeping Lucy previously wrote Rust & Stardust, which tells the story of Sally Horner (the girl Lolita was based on). Rust & Stardust was supposed to be really good. Keeping Lucy is about a mother’s fight to keep her daughter who has Down Syndrome. Early reviews suggest it’s a solid read, thought I’m not sure if I’ll be reading it or not.

What do you think about these titles? Any that you plan on reading come August?
