Which June reads top your must-have list? We’re eager to get more of Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid Chronicles and another taste of Laurie London’s Sweetblood series.
I’m really looking forward to Magic Dreams by Ilona Andrews (Jim & Dali’s story) in the Hexed anthology.
I’ve been excited about June all year. There are so many books being released this month. There are at least 8 must reads on this list. I don’t know how I’m going to choose what to read first. I definitely have an endless supply of poolside reading.
So many are on my list. Let’s just say – copy the list 🙂
Lots of great books being released this month! I just searched and found out that Julia Kagawa Summer’s Crossing is free at B&N right now. Don’t know for how long though! 🙂
I didn’t know about Julia Kagawa’s book. I think I will definitely find plenty to read here.
The novellas from Julie Kagawa, Laurie London and Erin Kellison (all released yesterday) are FREE for now.
woot woot! My top 5 are: Nightfall by Ellen Connor (Anne Aguirre + Carrie Lofty), Shadow Walker by Allyson James, Deeper than Midnight by Lara Adrian, HIT LIST, and BLACK HEART LOA!!
ACK! I missed Kitty’s Big Trouble, too!!!!! Loves!
haha, I have a list like that only it goes up to december 2011 (for all my fave authors next books of course..) 🙂
Cant wait for Hit list. x.x
Hunter! Hunter! Hunter! Sexy vampire, awsome Breed!
