It’s mid-August, which means it’s last call for summer reading. This isn’t the biggest publishing season, but there were some great titles that came out this summer, so now is a good time to catch up on them. I’ve highlighted seven books that came out in June, July, and August that complete 2026 Read Harder Challenge tasks.
These new summer releases include queer romantasy, nonfiction about resistance, a modern gothic, a Japanese murder mystery, and much more. Fall is coming, and with it, an avalanche of new releases, so don’t let these new books of the summer pass you by!
Task #4: Read a novel with a main character who uses they/them pronouns, and Task #9: Read a romantasy book with a queer and/or BIPOC main character
