Excited for summer beach reads, but don't know where to start? Look no further! We've curated our most anticipated June 2024 book releases just for you. We were lucky enough to receive ARCs (advanced reader copies) of The God and the Gumiho, Fate of the Sun King, and Of Jade and Dragons (thank you to their respective publishers!) and needless to say they were so much fun and definitely deserved to be alongside these other book releases! Take a peek at the blurbs and let us know which ones you'll be adding to your TBRs.

Fantasy is going to be huge this month and we can't wait to scoop up these book releases! If our arm was twisted to choose the MVP from this list, it has to be The God and the Gumiho by Sophie Kim. It absolutely rocked our world and we cannot wait for book two. Give it a try and friendly reminder: you don't have to break the bank to enjoy new book releases. The public library does an amazing job of keeping their inventory up to date, so sign up at your local branch (or online on websites like Libby) and get to reading for free!
