New Books for the First Tuesday of July!

Happy Tuesday, book friends! It’s time for your weekly dose of new releases. I’m actually surprised, I have read more books being released later in the month of July than today, the first Tuesday, which is when there are a ton coming out at once. But that just means there will be lots more for me to tell you about in the coming weeks! Which makes me happy. You might be surprised to learn that I love books. (JK, everyone knows it. People who haven’t even been born yet know it, lol.)

Now, today’s books: I do these first Tuesday megalists because the first Tuesday of each month has so many new releases, and it’s fun to round some of them up. Below, you’ll find titles (loosely) broken up into several categories, to make it easier for your browsing convenience. I hope you have fun with it! And as with each first Tuesday newsletter, I am putting a ❤️ next to the books that I have had the chance to read and loved.

And speaking of today’s great books, for this week’s episode of All the Books! Danika and I discussed some of the wonderful books that we’ve read, such as Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, Florida Woman, Night of the Living Rez, and more.

This week: I’m currently reading Vampire Weekend by Mike Chen and A Fatal Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum: Murder in Ancient Rome by Emma Southon. Outside of books, I have been watching the garden grow and the critters run around, and reading the back posts of Bird and Moon. And the song stuck in my head is Heavy Metal Drummer by Wilco. (Which is 20 years old now!) And here’s a cat picture: Zevon likes to get in my reading nest while I’m working and flaunt the fact that he doesn’t have to do anything all day long.


Thank you, as always, for joining me each week as I rave about books! I am wishing the best for all of you in whatever situation you find yourself in now. And yay, books! – XO, Liberty ❤️
