I honestly don’t understand how we’re already in July, that the year is half over and we’re roughly 6 months out from Christmas and the New Year.
I can’t believe it’s already time for my Quarter 3 Anticipated Reads List – honestly I nearly forgot to do this post. And I’m like 90% certain I left so many books off of it. So many books have been announced (for this year and next) and if they’re not listed on the GR monthly releases lists – I missed them.
But all the books on this list are ones I’m really looking forward to.
So, instead of rambling on, let’s just jump right into it!
