As summer peaks around the corner, it’s time to get our reading lists in order, and The New York Times is helping us get ahead of things.
Their list of 31 notable novels publishing this summer includes some heavy hitters—there’s Taylor Jenkins Reid (in space!), Southern noir king S.A. Cosby, and V.E. Schwab and her historical lesbian vampires. There are some lesser-known and debut authors as well. Overall, the list seems to have a little bit of something for everyone.
