Hot New Releases in Books for the Week of: Jul 27–Aug 2, 2014

UPCOMING NEW RELEASES IN BOOKS Week of July 27 – Aug 2nd

upcoming_releases_bannerHappy Saturday, yall!  Normally, each month towards the beginning of the month, I share with you a list of books I am looking forward to that are releasing that month.  I try to limit that post to only 30 books to keep the post size down.  In doing so, I end up leaving out a TON of new release books!  I thought I would try doing the UPCOMING NEW RELEASES IN BOOKS posts weekly for a while, and see if that works out better.  Please let me know if you would like me to start doing this every WEEK instead of just once a month.  And be  sure to add these to your wishlists and/or shopping carts!

The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination. – Elizabeth Hardwick

Illuminate me.
