Summer Reading: Thrillers only

A few weeks ago, I had a slight breakdown, deleted social media apps from my phone and was like I need a book. A good book. (Note the timestamps: this is at midnight.) 

I started looking over the Kindle app. It's really hit or miss with Kindle Unlimited these days, so I started in on new releases and, to my absolute delight, my favorites were all coming out with new books....later this summer. 

So while I couldn't download and read any of them immediately, I did take screenshots as a mental note to request from the library and get on those waitlists in advance. 


May 26. Came out this week and I'm halfway through it. 

July 28. Always reliable for a thriller.

June 23. Some of my best reading experiences have been Lisa Jewell books. (except for that weird Marvel crossover she did a few years back that I refuse to try)

August 4. Riley Sager isn't *not* reliable, but is hit or miss for me. I'll always try one of his books. 

I like the concepts of his books and they always appear to be screenplays to me. But I'll try it!


August 25. Reliable for plot twists for sure. 

August 25. Big Little Lies was one of my single best audiobook experiences. If Caroline Lee does this one, I'm getting it on Audible. 

August 4. Another reliable favorite. You can tell I go by author and not by genre/subject of the book.

This is out now and I just grabbed it because it's $7 on Audible. if a book is less than $10 on Audible, it's usually worth a try. 


September 22. Pushing the boundaries on a "summer" release here, but I really like her books. 

July 14. I admit I didn't finish her last book because I was busy/distracted/it was really long for some reason(?) I'll try again. 

What's on your summer reading list?
