Welcome to a special episode of the Sarah’s Book Shelves Live podcast…the Summer 2019 Book Preview with Catherine of Gilmore Guide to Books! Catherine and I share our most anticipated books coming out in June and July of 2019. This post contains affiliate links, through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). Highlights Catherine and my success rate for books we shared in our Winter 2019 Preview episode. Our Best and Worst picks from the Spring 2019 Preview episode. The book Sarah DNF’d at 3% and Catherine rated 1 star. Each of our #1 picks for Summer. A tangent about the day of the week new releases always come out (it’s Tuesday). A rant about thrillers with “Girls” and “Wife” in the title (in this case, related to Girls Like Us by Cristina Alger).
