Let’s Talk About Book Releases

Hey all, Sam here.

I totally meant to have this post up at the beginning of the month, as in, it was originally drafted with a scheduled release of July 2nd…and that obviously did not happen. That’s fine. I guess I’ll just post it now, because it still covers a lot of upcoming releases. Anyway…

Let’s talk about book releases, specifically books coming out in the second half of the year that I’m excited about. Some of these I already have pre-orders for, some I have early copies from NetGalley, and some I’m just really excited for (and because I’m posting this late, some of these I already have purchased and brought them home and added them to my collection).

And I’ll be completely honest…there’s probably some books I’m missing on this list. There are so many interesting sounding titles coming out, and I’m also really trying to pay attention to more indie authors and indie releases as well, and I’m not really covering many of them in this post.

If anyone’s interested, let me know and I’ll to an Indie focused anticipated reads post.

All right, well that’s all from me for today. Thank you so much for stopping by, and I’ll be back soon with more geeky content.
