Welcome to Fresh From the Shelf, my weekly roundup of new releases. Every Tuesday, I'll share a selection of books hitting shelves that day—some I've already read, some I'm currently reading, and some I'm eagerly anticipating. Think of it as a peek into my reading life, complete with early impressions, recommendations, and a few bookish musings along the way. Be sure to share your own thoughts in the comments and let me know if there's a new release I should have on my radar!

📋Last Weeks’ Results

I want to hold myself accountable for my reading, so here it is. I’ haven’t read any of the books I posted last week. I have every intention of reading them, but there it is. I’ll always be honest!

🍒 Most Anticipated

Christina Lauren is one of my favorite authors! I’ve read most of their books and am excited to read their latest! It involves second chances, amnesia, science- how could I not love it?

🍽️ On My Plate This Week

Silvia Moreno-Garcia is another favorite of mine. Her books are always Gothic, but I never know how they will go. This involves a con man getting conned, so I can’t wait to read it!

📖 Fresh From the Shelf

My three standout picks for this week are Book Club Boyfriend by Jenny Holiday, Wench by Erynne Rivers, and In Stormy Weather by Chelsea Curto.

We’ve got two romances and a fantasy and all new authors to me. They all sound really interesting, so I’m not sure which I’ll start with.

🍮 Saving for Dessert

I love Rachel Lynn Solomon, but this seems more like a book for fall to me. I’ll probably read it in September.

📚 Worth a Look

There are a few other books coming out today that I’ve got my eye on, but may wait on:

The Gossip and the Grump by Pippa Grant
The Half Life by Rachel Beanland
One Moment Please by Amy Daws
Return to Sender by Stephanie Parente

💬 Pull Up a Chair

That’s what’s fresh from the shelf this week! Before you head back to your reading nook, pull up a chair and tell me what’s caught your eye. Which new releases are you most excited about, what are you currently reading, and what book should I be watching for next Tuesday? The best part of any bookish gathering is the conversation, so meet me in the comments.

Happy reading . . . always 📚🍰
