![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Our Summer Reading Guide is hitting inboxes on Thursday at 8:00am EDT. And Alina Bronsky’s Barbara Isn’t Dying represents the sort of quirky work that could easily fly under your radar, but that the right reader will be THRILLED to discover this summer. I wanted to make sure we had a solid nonfiction category this year you’ll see Claire Dederer’s nonfiction work Monsters: A Fan’s Dilemma below. (In today’s book list you’ll see Joshilyn Jackson’s With My Little Eye, Vanessa Walters’s The Nigerwife, and Sarah Adams’s Practice Makes Perfect.) I read a good amount of historical fiction, represented here by Jasmin Iolani Hakes’s Hula. ![]() This collection does a decent job of capturing some of the major categories of books I sought out for my guide reading: I read TONS of mysteries, thrillers, and love stories, because so many of us (definitely including me) enjoy reading those in the summertime. These releases are all from April and May 2023 because my winter and spring reading have been heavily focused on vetting summer titles for the guide, but beginning next month you can expect to see a lot more backlist in this monthly roundup of what I’ve been reading lately! The 12th annual MMD Summer Reading Guide comes out on Thursday, May 18, and so today I’m sharing six new releases that I enjoyed reading but that you won’t see in the guide. Welcome to Quick Lit, where we share short and sweet reviews of what we’ve been reading lately on the 15th of the month. ![]()
