There are quite a lot of books coming out in July that I’m eager to get my hands on. I didn’t fully realize this until I put together my anticipated third quarter book releases in 2025 list. There are a handful in August I’m interested in before September bulldozes through with another onslaught of books.

Now, let’s jump into my anticipated third quarter book releases in 2025 roundup.

21 thoughts on “Anticipated Third Quarter Book Releases in 2025

  1. Omg, so many of these weren’t even on my radar but I’ve just now added almost all of them to my list!? Help. Thank you? 😂🤭 I love the sound of so many of these titles. I hope you love them all too!

  2. There are so many releases!!! I had such a hard time picking my list. haha. I have many overlapping and others that I still want to read. I’ve seen Tusk Love all over socials!! I hope you enjoy all of these.

  3. So many fantastic sounding books due out 😍😍 besides the ones on my list I’m incredibly excited for The Maiden & Her Monster and The Faerie Morgana. I’m also potentially intrigued for Wild Reverence. I haven’t read the blurb yet as I still haven’t read Divine Rivals but I’m starting that either tonight or tomorrow (based on how long my comments take to answer) so that I can decide if I’m interested in that one too. Plus I’ve added two others to my TBR. I hope you enjoy all of these, especially the few you’re preordered.

    1. I am so excited for THE FAERIE MORGANA! That’s absolutely one I will make time for this year. I haven’t read DIVINE RIVALS yet either, but I figured I’d preorder the upcoming book anyway haha.

      1. Have you read any of the authors witch books? I’ve been meaning to for ages now and haven’t managed to yet 🙈 but between the Camelot ties and the word Faerie there’s absolutely no way I can resist that one if I don’t manage to try one of her others (as planned) before then. Oh lol well I’m glad it’s not just me and really hope it works out wonderfully for you 🥰 I haven’t read the blurb in case it was spoilerish for the duology but I saw a Goddess mention when glancing at it and that alone made it a must read for me 😂

    1. I’ve read both of Soto’s contemporary romances and have to say NOT ANOTHER LOVE SONG is my favorite of the two. It’s why I’m so excited for her fantasy debut!

  4. It’s going to be a great quarter, I think! I’m so excited for the new Louisa Morgan book, although its very different from her other books.
