Maine State

Happy new book day to all who celebrate! It’s approximately eleventy million degrees in Maine right now, and my brains feel like soup in my brain pan. Thank goodness I don’t need them, lol. The scorching weather hasn’t stopped the critters from visiting. This past weekend I saw my first red-bellied woodpecker, which was so beautiful! And also poorly named, IMO. Its head was the most astounding shade of red I’ve ever seen in nature, while its belly only had a weak bit of faint orange. It should be called the Play-Doh redheaded woodpecker. Alas, I was not consulted. This is in keeping with my opinion that, historically, people were bad at naming things. (Says the redhead, whose hair should be called orange or copper, or even rust, but certainly not red.)

Hooray, It’s Time for New Books!

July is an interesting month: arguably peak summer, a time for travel and beach jaunts and — perhaps — a time to consider what the second half of the year has in store. July can be a lot, basically. And so, our recommended July books cover a lot of territory. If you’re in a serious mood and would like a searing trip into recent history, we have you covered. If you’re looking for an ambitious tale of adventure, we can help with that as well. Here are 10 recommended books due out this month.

The 10 Books You Should Be Reading This July

Welcome to Today in Books, where we report on literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more. You’re expecting this to be a story about the latest TikTok romantasy hit, aren’t you? The clock app may be hogging headlines with stories about dragon riders who do it, but it’s Freida McFadden’s thrillers that are dominating bestseller lists. McFadden, a physician who writes under a pseudonym to protect her relationship with her patients, self-published for a decade before signing a deal with Sourcebooks’s Poisoned Pen Press. Her 23 (!) books have sold more than 6 million copies, making her the fastest-selling thriller writer in the U.S., outpacing heavy hitters James Patterson, David Baldacci, and John Grisham, who all show up beneath her on current sales charts. The New York Times‘s Alexandra Alter details McFadden’s rise in a new profile, which also hints at fascinating tidbits about Sourcebooks’s strategy. Now, my kingdom for a piece about the enduring appeal of the self-pub-to-traditional-deal pipeline.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

In case you haven’t noticed, it’s midyear check-in time, and in all corners of the bookish internet, we’re taking a look back at the first half of 2024 in new releases. The “Best Books of the Year So Far” lists are piling up — in fact, they started about a month before the halfway point of the year. This is a great way to get an overview of the very buzziest titles, but that only scratches the surface of the incredible books in a wide range of formats and genres that have come out this year. That’s why it can be more useful to seek out round up lists of the genres, formats, and topics you’re most interested in as a reader, like the best queer books of the year so far.

Another week, another batch of books for your TBR pile. Happy reading, folks. “Ace Atkins’s killing honesty sets a new standard for Southern crime fiction.”. “As in his spy novels, Kanon demonstrates a mastery of closed-in drama. Such is the jabbing understatement of the dialogue—what’s withheld matters more than what’s said—that it holds you in suspense as much as any action scene. The contrast between his impeccable control and the nightmarish chaos of this time and place gives things a powerful edge. Kanon goes to China with stirring results.”
