New Thrillers I’m Looking Forward to This Summer

My last post about books that I was anticipating reading was just a couple months ago when I posted my spring TBR here. There were a lot of great books that I worked through from that list over the last couple months. Although I’ve been spending more time at home, I actually had been reading less (you might have seen me mention this on my Instagram). That changed last week when I finally finished three books. However, I am still four books behind on my Goodreads Reading Challenge, which was to read 52 books this year. So far I’ve read 18 which I feel like is pretty good. Today I’m sharing the new thrillers I’m looking forward to this summer!

I also want to bring attention to the books related to racial injustice that I posted here. While I will begin posting again on my blog and social media, the inner work for us all is not done. I encourage others to still support the BLM movement. I will be working through the 10 books on that post through summer as well.

The New Thrillers I’m Looking Forward to This Summer

When I was first starting this list, I was going to include all genres and not just thrillers. I also realize that summer is not the more stereotypical time for thrillers. Usually, I picture contemporary or romance books. However, I’m not feeling it this year. I’m ready for thrillers and mysteries. I know there are others out there who are also looking for a new book and open to thrillers all year round, so this is for you!

For this post, I also wanted to make this list shorter than I have in the past. I always make the list around 10 books for the season, but I always end up reading books that aren’t on the list. This summer I am going to set myself up for success and only add 5 new books to my summer TBR. I don’t exclusively read new releases, but I do enjoy them.

Also remember to try checking them out at the library (most have an app for ebooks and audio books) if you don’t have the funds. Local bookstores are also great to support if you do like to buy books!

1. The Guest List by Lucy Foley

Everything about this book screams Agatha Christie. Obviously, she didn’t write it, but it sounds like the perfect mix of Murder on The Orient Express and And Then There Were None. It takes place on a remote island where everyone has their secrets and may want one and another dead. When someone is murdered, a hunt to find the killer is on. It’ a classic who-done-it which I am so here for.

The Guest List Summer Thrillers

This book will be released on June 2nd and can be found here and the Goodreads can be found here.

2. I Killed Zoe Spanos by Kit Frick

This, unlike the others on the list is a young adult mystery/thriller book. In I Killed Zoe Spanos, Anna, a teen who looks nearly identical to Zoe confesses to her murder. Anna’s story is riddled in holes and so Martina, the host of a podcast on Zoe’s murder, digs to uncover the full truth of what really happened.

I haven’t been reading too many young adult books recently, but I do think that there are some really good ones out there so I can’t wait to try this one out!

I Killed Zoe Spanos Summer Thriller

This book will be released on June 2nd and can be found here and the Goodreads can be found here.

3.  The Girl From Widow Hills by Megan Miranda

I love a good thriller, which is exactly what The Girl from Widow Hills sounds like. A circle of sleepwalking, kidnapping, and then reuniting sets the stage for this book. The description actually gives me Dark Places by Gillian Flynn vibes, if you’ve read that.

The Girl From Widow Hills

This book will be released June 23rd and can be found here and the Goodreads can be found here.

4. The Shadows by Alex North

Back in the fall, I wrote a post on some of the new releases that I was wanting to read. On it I added The Whisper Man which I finished shortly after, so I’m really anticipating The Shadows. It is by the same author as The Whisper Man and also is a thriller, which again, I love.

The Shadows follows Paul, who’s friends were murdered 25 years before. Now, a possible copycat murderer has struck in his town. There are so many different factors in the description on Goodreads that I can just tell it’s going to be really good and full of twist and turns. This may be my top anticipated new release on the list and this will be at the top of my TBR.

The Shadows Summer Thriller

This book will be released in July 7th and you can buy it here and the Goodreads can be found here.

5. The Other Mrs: A Novel by Mary Kubica

Sadie and Will have just moved from Chicago to a small city in Maine when their neighbor is found dead. Through this mystery/thriller Sadie is unsettled and soon begins to learn more and more about her neighbor and the secrets she was hiding. Not only that, but the ‘troubling past’ of her family is starting to unfold. I love when there are unexpected subplots woven throughout stories, which is what I’m predicting for this book.

The Other Mrs. Summer Thriller

This book will be released August 11th and can be found here and the Goodreads can be found here.

Those are the Thrillers that I’m looking forward to this summer!

I am so excited to get back into reading this summer! I feel like I put it on the backburner for way too long and have been watching too much TV or listening to too many podcasts for empty noise. These thrillers will be perfect for this summer to get lost in a book and keep yourself guessing. I honestly can never guess the ending to thrillers and mysteries, no matter how obvious it seems after the fact, or how many I read.

Questions for you:

  1. What books are on your summer TBR?
  2. What book are you looking forward to reading the most from the list?
  3.  Is there a thriller that you would recommend?

Making it a 2021 goal to thrive as much as my plan Making it a 2021 goal to thrive as much as my plants are 🌿

Last quarter I kind of let my self-care fly out the window. I did school work 24/7! Then when I wasn’t I would spend countless hours endlessly scrolling on social media. I feel pretty good about this first *almost* two weeks of the year. I’ve been making time to exercise, do something just for fun & spend time outside everyday! It’s made me have to be a lot better about my time management.

I know it’s not even Christmas so it’s a littl I know it’s not even Christmas so it’s a little early for an end of 2020 post, but...

This year was probably the most anxiety inducing of my life (ya know going through a global pandemic and all). I got laid off from my job, had to quarantine within the same room as someone who had COVID for 3 weeks, ruined my hair and had to pay $600 to color correct it and chop it off, and just generally felt shitty, ya know? You probably know.

Buttttt, I’m happy that there were some positives too! Like, I moved out with @danny.crenshaw3! Getting accepted into nursing school & starting were also really big moments for me. & Hazel was born into existence (swipe for a puppy pic)!

Did anything positive happen in your life this year?

I explored 7 miles of beautiful waterfalls today. It was foggy and misty, but the weather was perfect! 

Luckily the trail was pretty empty and most people were also wearing masks 😷 

Here is a sneak peek of the first waterfall on the Trail of 10 Waterfalls in Silver Falls State Park before I post a reel!

In the mornings I’m *always* drinking coffee, trying to get the bulk of my work done and not giving in to any distractions.

In nursing school though I feel like there’s work to do 24/7!! 

So at night I’m writing or going over notecards and learning objectives. Writing notecards doesn’t require my complete attention since the active learning part for me is going through the notecards so I love to listen to podcasts and it’s actually relaxing. But maybe that’s just the wine tonight 🍷
