Share:

In need of a football break? Wimbledon and election coverage overtaking your screen time? You deserve a little reading time! We’ve got the biggest new releases of July ready and waiting on the Libby app. July is bringing sequels, love stories, dark glamour, and everything in between.

The highly anticipated follow up to the internationally best-selling novel Days at the Morisaki Bookshop by Eric Ozawa is here: More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop! This one is for all the true book lovers out there and will give you all the cosy feels and charm that only a bookshop can bring.

From a cosy bookshop to a haunted mansion, take a turn into The Djinn Waits a Hundred Years by Shubnum Khan. This book will transport you into an isolated boardinghouse for eclectic misfits and one girl’s discovery of an invisible spirit hiding in the shadows.

“A buzzy debut with Mad Men meets White Lotus vibes that you won’t want to put down” is how Red Magazine described Teddy by Emily Dunlay, and we couldn’t love that more. Taking place in 1969 Rome, this book covers everything from glamour to the dark underbelly of the city.

We’re all ready for a holiday—planned or not. The Accidental Holiday is your perfect beach read. This opposites attract story finds two strangers accidentally booked in the same hotel room at a 5-star resort—a rom-com any Emily Henry fan will love.

And that’s just the start! For a full list of our recommendations, check out this list:
