Most Anticipated Releases | August 2020

Thrillers! Thrillers! Thrillers! August will be the month of many new books in the mystery and thrillers genre. Other than that, it will be a rather quiet month for bookish releases. The Publishers are probably taking their holiday leaves and getting ready for September to surprise us with even more exciting releases. 

There are six new books coming out in August that I hope to get my hands on. Luckily, I received an ARC of «Playing Nice», «When I was Ten» and «Every Little Piece of my Heart» and will be reading them asap!
