I mean this may be the quickest one of these that I have recently written – because actually the easiest thing may be to point you at the reviews I’ve already written for this year’s picks at the midway point! I don’t think it’s going to surprise you that two of the five are romances, then there’s one rich people problems and a non-fiction book. And so in no particular order my favourite new releases of the year so far are:
Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld
Pineapple Street by Jenny Jackson
Once More With Feeling by Elissa Sussman
Georgie, All Along by Kate Claybourn
Reach for the Stars by Michael Cragg
Let’s see what has been added to the list by the end of the year!
Still to come for the halfway point: how many states have I ticked off my read the USA challenge? How am I getting on with colouring the bookcase drawing in my journal? And of course my favourite not new books of the year so far.
Verity Reads Books (lots of them)
