There are plenty of exciting new books coming out this summer. Check out this list of the "29 Best Books of the Summer" compiled by the New York Post with help from Manhattan bookstores The Mysterious Bookshop and The Strand, Brooklyn's Word, and Amazon. The list has everything from The Matchmaker--the newest from Elin Hildenbrand, the queen of the beach read--to literary heavyweight Haruki Marukami's new novel, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage.
You may have read Jojo Moyes' wildly successful novel, Me Before You. Her newest, One Plus One, comes out on July 1st, and is another contemporary opposites-attract love story.
Herman Koch's international bestseller, dark novel The Dinner, got people talking. His new book, Summer House with Swimming Pool, which comes out this week, is another chilling story told by a questionable narrator. A celebrity doctor is invited on vacation with a famous actor and his gorgeous wife, and somebody ends up dead. This latest effort by Koch promises to be another controversial and thought-provoking novel.
Emily Giffin is known for chick lit, but her just released-novel, The One & Only, represents a departure for her as it deals with darker themes. The plot revolves around a May-December love affair in which a 33-year-old woman begins to fall in love with her best friend's father and local football hero.
Also keep an eye out for new offerings from Charlaine Harris, Stephen King, Jo Nesbo, and Tom Rob Smith.
