Hot on the heels of the June video, here are 9 new reads coming this summer. And I do mean hot – so many places have had heat warnings for weeks, and we have not escaped it here in Canada.
Here are some of the top horror picks that came out in June! I’ll have a vide oup soon for July as well. It’s been a soggy stormy Canada Day here, so good weather for summer reading… I even have a book in the mix!
