Upcoming Book Releases: July 2021

Hello everyone. Happy Friday.

As we get into the nicer weather (please weather fairies,) and the summer months, there is more of an opportunity to disappear with a good book.

There are some corkers due out this month and below are a small sample.

Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Treachery™ by Brian Freeman is due to be released by Head of Zeus on 27th July.

This is book thirteen for Jason Bourne. This might be a bit of an unpopular opinion but I didn’t mind the films at all. I have to admit to having not read any of the novels but, reading the synopsis for the newest outing, that will soon change. Do I need to read the previous novels before reading this one? Let me know in the comments below if you’ve read them. This does sound so good.

Three years ago, Bourne and his partner, Nova embarked on a mission to rescue a Russian double agent. They failed.

Now Nova is dead, Bourne is alone and is working in the shadows for Treadstone. He awaits his next assignment.

Then his handler brings him shocking news. The double agent is alive and Bourne will soon have to face his past.

The Rainbow by Carly Schabowski, published by Bookouture and due out on 28th July, is fiction based on a true story.

I always find this type of fiction so fascinating and this book sounds particularly intriguing. I also know, before even starting, that it is going to make me cry. Do you ever have that feeling, even before you begin a book that it is going to pull you through all the emotions?

Isla is in present day London and is gathering photos of her beloved 95 year-old Grandfather.

She grew up hearing about his stories fighting the Germans in WWII so when she finds a photo of him from that time, wearing a Nazi uniform, she doesn’t know what to think.

Is everything she thought about him a lie?

Also set in WWII, Radar Girls by Sara Ackerman is due to be released by Mira Books on 22nd July. The description of this book is so vivid and it’s focusing on a part of the war that I don’t know too much about. Even from reading the synopsis, I want to find out more.

Daisy prefers horses to people but when Pearl Harbour is attacked, she enlists in a top secret programme that’s replacing male soldiers in a war zone for the first time.

The WARDs guide pilots into blacked-out airstrips and track unidentified planes across the Pacific skies.

Not everyone is happy that the women are there. With everything on the line, Daisy and the other new recruits are determined to prove they belong.

If Thrillers are more your thing, then two of my favourite authors have books due out on 22nd July.

Rabbit Hole by Mark Billingham (Little, Brown,) sounds absolutely amazing.

The general gist is that Alice is a methodical, tireless Detective trying to solve a murder on a psychiatric ward.

Was it another patient? A staff member or did someone from the outside come in?

However, Alice’s main problem is… she’s also a patient of Fleet Ward.

I have been a fan of Lisa Jewell for a long time and adored books like Ralph’s Party and 31 Dream Street but I am loving this new direction for her. Lisa’s new thriller, The Night She Disappeard by Lisa Jewell (Century) sounds right up my street. It sounds SO good and I am hoping to read it soon.

Midsummer 2017, teen mum Tallulah leaves her baby son with her mother so she can go out on a date.

At 11pm, Tallulah texts.

At 4.30am, Tallulah isn’t home.

She doesn’t return.

In 2018, walking in the woods behind a school where her boyfriend is now Headteacher, Sophie finds a sign… ‘dig here.’

Let me know in the comments which one you like the sound of. If you need me, I’ll be on the corner reading as these are all on my TBR list.

I’m Laura. I started Novel Kicks in 2009. I wanted a place to post my writing as well as give other writers like me the opportunity to do the same. There is also a monthly book club, a writing room which features writing prompts, book reviews, competitions, author interviews and guest posts.

I grew up by the sea (my favourite place in the world) and I currently live in Hampshire. I am married to Chris, have a cat named Buddy and I would love to be a writer. I’m trying to write the novel I’ve talked so much about writing if only I could stop pressing delete. I’ve loved writing since creative writing classes in primary school. I have always wanted to see my teacher Miss Sayers again and thank her for the encouragement. When not trying to write the novel or writing snippets of stories on anything I can get my hands on, I love reading, dancing like a loon and singing to myself very badly. My current obsession is Once Upon a Time and I would be happy to live with magic in the enchanted forest surrounded by all those wonderful stories provided that world also included Harry Potter. I love reading chick lit. contemporary fiction and novels with mystery.
