I was slumping hard this whole year. Audiobooks were my saving grace because my eyes were not on books (they were on movies, but that’s a whole other conversation). Even that wasn’t cutting it anymore for me though. However the last six weeks I have been ON A ROLL!!! In an effort to be my kind and generous self, I decided to share some of the books I’ve read over the last month in case you too have been hit with the non-reader bug. Save your bookworm heart with these summer romances!
I bought and read Jennifer E. Smith’s The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight ten years ago when I was in high school. A few weeks ago, I saw a trailer on TikTok for Netflix’s newest movie Love at First Sight and found out that it was an adaptation of the book that’s spent a decade on my shelf! Of course I decided I had to reread it all these years later and then watch the film. This is how that experience went.
I just realized I never shared new releases for the end of the year! My 23 Most Anticipated Reads of 2023 post stopped at August, but you can still check it out for some books you may have missed this year! This list is much shorter with only 6 novels, but they include contemporary romances, a fantasy romance, and thrillers.
If you’re not on Emily’s Grocery List (you should definitely sign up here), you might not be aware that she announced her next book! It’s called Funny Story and it’s set to come out April 23, 2024 so mark your calendar.
I’m sharing 23 new releases that you should be adding to your TBR this year. Whether you’re looking for a romance, fantasy, literary fiction, or thriller, you’ll find a book perfect for you.
