Heart Bones - Colleen Hoover: July 28
Unlike the others, I have absolutely no idea what this is about. The synopsis only says "A new romance novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, coming this summer." What?! No matter- I've yet to read anything I haven't loved by her, whether it's been YA or adult, so count me in for more!
Anxious People - Fredrik Backman: Sept 8
I'll be honest: I couldn't get into Backman's debut, "A Man Called Ove," and therefore didn't even try his other ones. I think it was a timing issue more than anything. But I DID read and love his shorts ("The Deal of a Lifetime" and "And Every Morning The Road Home Gets Longer and Longer") and want to read "Beartown" and it's follow-up "Us Against You." And this one isn't about an grumpy old man or woman but a BANK ROBBER HOSTAGE SITUATION!), so yeah... I'm in!

I feel like this guy is SO underrated. Granted he only has one other novel out, but I loved it! I honestly don't remember how I even found it, but I've been highly recommending it to all of my YA-loving friends and am definitely looking forward to his sophomore novel (which I only found out about through this link-up- thanks Sam!)!
Breathless - Jennifer Niven: Sept 29
Ok, another one where I've only read one other novel by, but it was SO good. I mean, it was turned into a movie! Which I still haven't seen yet, but that's neither here nor there... moving along...
Invisible Girl - Lisa Jewell: Oct 13
The first book I read by Ms. Jewell was "Watching You," which I got from Netgalley and hooked me from the beginning. And even after only reading one of her books, I knew she was a star amongst the domestic suspense writers. I'm actually a little behind on my Lisa Jewell love- I still have "The Family Upstairs" on my Kindle, but I'm still adding this one!

Of course, there are a lot authors that I've never heard of before, and I'm looking forward to some of theirs too! Here are some of those, and why I'm looking forward to reading them:Craigslist Confessional: A Collection of Secrets From Anonymous Strangers - Helena Dea Bala: July 7
According to the synopsis, this is perfect "For fans of Humans of New York and PostSecret, a collection of raw, urgent, and heartfelt stories, shared anonymously." Well, I love both of those - I mean, who doesn't like reading about the deepest, darkest secrets of perfect strangers?!
He Started It - Samantha Downing: July 21
This one just screams "summer thriller"- three sisters come together when their grandfather passes away and leaves a cryptic message that they have to figure out together in order to get their inheritance. Hello, drama!
The Comeback- Ella Berman: Aug 4
The only one on this list that I'm not completely sure I want to read, this novel explores the journey and decision of a teen starlet who is asked to present an award to the man who controlled her every move for the last 8 years during her self-imposed exile from the spotlight. Sounds a bit close to some current events, but I'm definitely curious.

Described as "To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before meets You’ve Got Mail in this charming and hilarious rom-com following two teen booksellers whose rivalry is taken to the next level as they compete for the top bookseller bonus..." Bookish theme? Check. Rom-com? Check. And a cross between those two titles in particular? Double check! Yeah, I don't need much more convincing!
Daddy: Stories - Emma Cline: Sept 1
This is a collection of short stories by the author of "The Girls," which I haven't read but it's on my bookshelf and I am hoping to read it later this year since it's about cults and I'm somewhat creepily interested in those stories. According to the description it's not only about the relationship between fathers and daughters, but also "the fault lines of power between men and women, parents and children, past and present." They "examine masculinity, male power and broken relationships, while revealing – with astonishing insight and clarity – those moments of misunderstanding that can have life-changing consequences."
