Looking for the June 2022 book releases, the newest books hitting the shelves? Here are five books coming out June 2022:
1. Outside by Ragnar Jonasson
Outside is billed as a “chilling new thriller” by Ragnar Jonasson. Four friends are caught in a deadly snowstorm in Iceland. They seek shelter in an abandoned hunting lodge. But not everyone will survive.
I have been a fan of Ragnar Jonasson since The Girl Who Died. His books have non-American characters and don’t follow the typical American plot.
Will Outside be as good as The Girl Who Died? We will have to find out!
Length: 352 pages
Release Date: June 28, 2022

Maps of Our Spectacular Bodies is a coming-of-age novel starring Lia, her husband Harry, and their daughter Iris. When faced with a diagnosis, Lia starts reflecting on her life, the people who shaped Lia’s youth, her relationship with her mother, and her troubled first love.

Boston has one of the most beautiful libraries in the world!
And The Woman in the Library is set in the Boston Public Library! A scream rings out, and the security guards put the building on lockdown. Four strangers sit at a table, waiting for the security guards to clear things up. They strike up a conversation, but one of them is a murderer.
If you are looking for a literary vacation, Boston is also very close to Concord, Massachusetts home to author Louisa May Alcott, author of Little Women, and the site of Walden Pond, the inspiration behind Henry David Thoreau’s masterpiece.
