Welcome back, book fans! I’m here to make your TBR list beg for mercy. There are SOOOOOO many amazing books out again today, I couldn’t just pick a few. SO here’s a giant list for your perusal. And you can hear about several of these great titles on this week’s episode of the All the Books! Rebecca and I talked about amazing books we loved, including The Prey of Gods, Hunger, and The Widow Nash.
Also, if you missed the news, I’m going to be hosting a little All the Books spinoff called All the Backlist! It swims into the All the Books stream starting June 23rd.
This week’s newsletter is sponsored by The People We Hate at the Wedding by Grandi Ginder.
A bitingly funny, hugely entertaining novel in which a fractured family from the Chicago suburbs must gather in London for their eldest daughter’s marriage to an upper-crust Englishman, proving that the harder we strain against the ties that bind, the tighter they hold us close.
