121. Sensational summer book releases paired with satisfying backlist reads

Get ready to load your summer totes (ahem…your summer Novel Pairings totes, more to come on that) with lots of good reads; we're talking about our most anticipated summer reads on today's episode! We've carefully culled our long lists of interesting books coming out this summer to provide some high-interest titles that are sure to topple your TBR while also providing backlist books that will pair perfectly and are available right now.

Today we talk about forthcoming humorous memoirs (including one woven with lots of 90s nostalgia), a searing, fictional critique of contemporary publishing, and plenty of engrossing tales you'll want to curl up with poolside. And if that's not enough, we take a shot at solving the mystery surrounding the unnamed Flatiron title prior to it being settled by the New York Times (and Chelsey will add amateur sleuth to her list of alternate career options should occasion arise).

We love discussing books and reading with all of you and hope you'll join our group of nerdy readers at patreon.com/novelpairings. Annual subscriptions are now available at a discounted price!
