August 2024’s biggest books

Share:

Summer’s still hanging on by a thread as we stock up on No. 2 pencils and bookbags, and feel the subtle shift in seasons. As you trade in your vanilla sweet cream nitro cold brew for a pumpkin spiced latte, you may also be ready to swap your breezy beach reads for a near-future whodunit.

If you’re a seasonal reader like me, don’t worry—there are still plenty of romance reads and binge-worthy series as you soak in the last of the long, summer days.

As we head into fall, traditionally the biggest season for books, there are some heavy hitters vying for a spot on your TBR list. With everything from a sumptuous historical epic in 1950s Hollywood by Silvia Moreno-Garcia to an unforgettable heroine and the real author of Shakespeare’s plays by Jodi Picoult, you’ll find a book on the Libby app to match your current reading tastes.

Your library stocks up on all the latest bestsellers for release day and remains THE place to find the best books to read for free. Check Out Your Library—in person or online—to take advantage of all the free resources available to you (it’s more than you think!).

*Title availability may vary by library & region.
