July's Most Borrowed Books
Are you on track to hit your goal number of finished books this year? Me neither. July’s already over, the year is flying by, and we don’t need any more books added to our TBRs. Just kidding! Can you imagine saying such a thing? Anyway, if you’re a little bit behind on the trendiest titles, we’re here to help you catch up.
Dark humor was July’s hot topic - readers went gaga for I See You’ve Called In Dead by John Kenney, a novel for everyone who needs a laugh, or anyone looking for a fresh new excuse to get them out of work tomorrow. Fans of suspense love You Deserve to Know by Aggie Blum Thompson, perfect for anyone who eats up neighborhood drama and the juicy scandals of suburbia.
The Let Them Theory and Lessons on Living were some of July’s Nonfiction favorites, along with the thrilling true story of London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe, uncovering the secret double life of a 19-year-old before his mysterious death.
Since his passing, fans across Australia and New Zealand have honored Sam Neill with a resurgence of readership of his memoir Did I Ever Tell You This? His story is as good to read as it is to listen to in audio.
These were the books readers across Oceania couldn’t get enough of in July. Now’s your chance to find out why everyone was talking about them.
