What’s On My Plate – June 2026

We are almost halfway through the year, can you believe it?? June is a big month for new releases, and as usual I’ve added way too many to my plate! This list includes all genres, including the June releases I’ve chosen to read for Summer of Horror. I have already read The Children, and it might end up in my top five at the end of the year, I loved it that much. Here are the books on my June TBR:

The Children by Melissa Albert. Look for my review tomorrow. This book was simply brilliant!

Three Hitmen and a Baby by Rob Hart. This is book #3 in his highly entertaining Assassins Anonymous series, and I’ll be diving in soon!

The Tinder Box by M.R. Carey. I’m a huge Carey fan, and this seems like quite a departure for him. But I wouldn’t be a real fan if I didn’t try it:-)

Headlights by C.J. Leede. I have loved both of Leede’s previous two books, and I have a feeling I’m going to love this too.

The Summer Fun Massacre by Craig DiLouie. I’ve just started this and it’s already lots of fun. I love seeing how DiLouie is going to tackle the camp slasher trope.

It Came From Neverland by Cynthia Pelayo. “Peter Pan meets It” is an intriguing description, and I can’t wait to see if it’s true:-)

The Sixth Nik by Daniel Kraus. I never miss a Daniel Kraus book, and I believe this is his first venture into science fiction.

The Jellyfish Problem by Tessa Yang. I’m fascinated by jellyfish, and I believe there is some jellyfish science within the story.

Green City Wars by Adrian Tchaikovsky. A detective story with animals! I mean, of course this is going to be good:-)

Hopeless Necromantic by Shiloh Briar. This is probably one of my favorite covers of the year! I’m hoping the story is just as good.

Samantha Spük: Paranormal Wedding Planner by Aleese Lin. This has a Wednesday comp, which intrigues me. The purple cover doesn’t hurt either!

Mr. Yay by Emily Jane. I actually received a copy of this from the author, and it sounds hilarious!

The Traveler by Joseph Eckert. This time travel story about a father and his son sounds really good!

We Hexed the Moon by Mollyhall Seeley. I’ve been hearing really good things about this coming of age fantasy.

Obstetrix by Naomi Kritzer. This is another novella that’s been getting great reviews!


What books are you excited to read this month? Do we have any in common?
