Anticipating July!

Summer is a good time to catch up on all the books you've wanted to read but never gotten around to. Partly it's because people seem to have more free time, kids are out of school, days are longer, that sort of thing.  It's also good because there are less new books coming out (at least that I'm interested in).  If you look at what I read in June, half the books are from earlier months (or years) I'd been meaning to read but never got around to.  I guess this post is starting to sound all doom and gloom for July releases, but there are a few I'm really excited for . . . and then there are some I'm intrigued by but not sold on, so we'll see what happens. Anyway, here's the books for July I'm absolutely going to check out.

            2^nd: Awaken – Meg Cabot

                   The Distance Between Us – Kacey West

                   Vortex – S.J. Kincaid

                   This Strange and Familiar Place – Rachel Carter

            9^th:  Raven Flight – Juliet Marillier

                    Shadow of the Mark – Leigh Fallon

            16^th: Belladonna – Fiona Paul

            23^rd:A Darkness Strange and Lovely – Susan Dennard

                     Starglass – Phoebe North

                    Of Beast and Beauty – Stacy Jay

            30^th: Midnight Frost – Jennifer Estep

                     Earth Bound – Aprilynne Pike

                    Indelible – Dawn Metcalf

                    The King’s Guard (novella) – Rae Carson

                     The Historians – Trisha Leigh

                     All our Pretty Songs - Sarah McCarey

So that's it.  Let me know if you find any other amazing books that I need to check out, and whether it's catching up on old releases or finding something new, happy summer reading!
