July's Best Books of the Month
Every month, Goodreads editors comb through our data to find which of the latest new releases are resonating with readers. Then we select the fiction and nonfiction that meet the bar of 'best of the month.' For July, we're highlighting a creepy thriller, a heartfelt debut about a young woman caring for her ailing father, and a memoir that serves as a love letter to both teaching and reading.
You can read more about July's new releases, exclusive author interviews with B.A. Paris (who has the month's most-anticipated book with The Breakdown) and Michael Connelly (who is kicking off a new series with The Late Show), plus book recommendations from your favorite writers here.
Be sure to add the books that spark your interest to your Want to Read shelf.
