Welcome, July! Summer is in full swing. I know this means “hot,” but it also (hopefully) means I’ll start getting some vegetables ready for harvest. As usual, I’m back with a July 2024 TBR. After a break from fantasy in June I’m ready to jump back into it. Most of the books here are ARCs, but since I’m a mood reader I’m sure some of my July 2024 TBR will change. That’s par for the course for me! Now, let’s take a look at what’s on my July 2024 TBR.

Anticipated Third Quarter Book Releases in 2024
If I had the motivation, I would have requested a lot of ARCs in July. But I decided I needed a break to focus on the physical books I bought for myself. Regardless, there are quite a few anticipated 2024 third quarter book releases that I’m looking forward to. Again, I don’t know if I’ll ever get to all of them. But I can still dream.
There are quite a few that I strongly suspect I’ll receive in my book subscriptions. However, I won’t mark those as preorders to avoid spoiling the surprise for anyone. This also played into why I didn’t request ARCs from one of my favorite publishers. Now, let’s take a look at those anticipated 2024 third quarter book releases. (For reference, you can also view my anticipated 2024 book releases for this first and second quarters, too.)

Hopefully this introduces you to a few more bookish posts you might’ve missed last month!

June 2024 TBR
Just like last month, I still have some older ARCs that I have yet to read. For the sake of brevity I only listed their titles this time. I also have a ridiculous number of books started, which I included here in the hopes of finishing them this month. My June 2024 TBR is light on ARCs, which I’m happy about. I have a grand total of one June ARC and I already read it. This gives me a little bit of breathing space (if I choose to ignore my backlist ARCs). My June 2024 TBR is also a little different than my typical TBR and includes books in genres other than fantasy. It’s good to mix it up sometimes! Onward!
