We’re only a couple weeks into this summer, and we’ve already broken temperature records where I live in the Pacific Northwest! I’ve been avoiding the sweltering heat, so naturally, that means plenty of time curled up with a cool drink and a good book. New books may be part of my plans this month, and there are numerous great ones coming out in July! Here are some of the new publications I’ve been most looking forward to.
For this list, I’ve aimed to include a variety of genres and authors. From retellings of well-known stories and accounts of lesser known historical figures to spooky thrillers and adorable romances, I hope something here will pique your interest! Here are 29 great new books set for publication in July 2021.
