Here’s a quick list of the new releases I’m looking forward to reading this summer. Many from favorite authors, lots of WWII fiction (of course) but I’m also headed back to Moscow and Havana. Read with me!

You can click on the book covers to look at and purchase on Amazon.

I’m a big Beatriz Williams fan and have been craving cold war espionage fiction since the Red Sparrow series.


More WWII fiction set in wartime Hawaii.


“From an award-winning storyteller comes a stunning debut novel about a New Mexican family’s extraordinary year of love and sacrifice.”


By the author of The Martian.


“Against the backdrop of WWII-ravaged Italy comes a powerful and emotional novel of love, survival, justice, and second chances”


Another author I love back with more WWII fiction set in Krakow.


And more WWII…”The New York Times bestselling author of the The Book of Lost Names returns with an evocative coming-of-age World War II story about a young woman who uses her knowledge of the wilderness to help Jewish refugees escape the Nazis—until a secret from her past threatens everything.”


This is the 4th in the “Cuba series,” some of the my favorite books in the last few years.


Another author I’ve previously enjoyed who writes about women hidden in history. “The remarkable, little-known story of Belle da Costa Greene, J. P. Morgan’s personal librarian–who became one of the most powerful women in New York despite the dangerous secret she kept in order to make her dreams come true.”


Happy reading!
