And there are a few more upcoming books this month that aren’t added to Goodreads yet, like: The Square Peg by Jane Davitt & Alexa Snow (LooseId, Aug 7), Nothing of a Son by LA Witt (Amber Allure, Aug 19), One More Time by Shawn Lane (LoosId, Aug 28) and Loving Instincts by SJ Frost (MLR Press, Aug).
I’m also very excited about the rerelease of LB Gregg’s Men of Smithfield books. The first book, which was originally titled Gobsmacked, will be rereleased on August 6 as Mark & Tony. I’ve reviewed it here>>>.
Some of the above releases I would buy for the cover alone! ;)
Which new releases did I miss that you look forward to this month?
I'm dying to read Stars&Stripes :) And I think Home Work (by Kaje Harper)is also coming out in this month. Can't wait to read it!
ReplyDeleteAugust is going to be a great month!
OMG I think Stars & Stripes is my most anticipated read of all! And we're not the only ones dying to read that one. ;)
DeleteI can't believe I missed Home Work. I'm going to add that to my wishlist too! Thx.
So many books coming out! O.O
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely looking forward to Home Work by Kaje Harper, too.
August is a great month for m/m releases, isn't it?
DeleteHome Work is going on my list as well! :)
Oh man, so many good books. Hopefully they are really as good as the blurb makes them out to be!
ReplyDeleteYeah, you'll never know for sure until you start reading. But a (good) blurb is all we've got before we buy the book.
DeleteTrue, though the reputation of the author will help as well!
DeleteGreat list - I can't even comment on them all! lol
ReplyDeleteGoing Under sounds really interesting. I'm normally one who goes in for horror but it's intriguing enough that I might have to get it anyway.
And the new Florida book by KA Mitchell! Woo-freaking-hoo! I can't wait.
I was going to mention Home Work, but someone bet me to it! I'm also hanging out for Stars & Stripes!
ReplyDeleteOh, and there is a re-release this month IIRC - Sean Kennedy's Tigers & Devils!
