The Most Anticipated Books of Summer, According to Goodreads

Share

There’s something about summer books that just hits different. The folks at Goodreads know we’re dream about long, sun-soaked days (so much extra time for reading!) and the vacations/staycations/breaks in routine that the season brings, so they’ve released a list of the most anticipated new books of summer. The list is comprised of the titles that Goodreads users have added to their Want to Read shelves most often.

Variety being the spice of literary life, the list spans just about every genre you can think of, though I have to note I’m surprised there isn’t a standalone romantasy section. Fear not if dragon smut is your thing, though. There are plenty books for you on the list, they’re just spread across the fantasy, romance, and young adult categories. Let’s get into some of the highlights.
