A new month means new book releases and June is chockful of them. Fantasy by the genre\u2019s wittiest scribe and a glorious lit-fic debut are just a pair of what the month has to offer. Below are some of our favorite books coming in June. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. \u201cThe Daughter\u2019s War\u201d<\/a> by Christopher Buehlman<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    If you haven\u2019t read Buehlman\u2019s wonderful \u201cThe Blacktongue Thief\u201d then now\u2019s the time as its prequel is due to come out June 25. Those of us who enjoyed the author\u2019s marvelous narration on Audible will be sad he won\u2019t be lending his vocal talent this time around. Thankfully, the exceptionally gifted Nikki Garcia will be in the booth his time. Whether in print or via audio, \u201cThe Daughter\u2019s War\u201d promises a solid, rip-rollicking 400+ pages of awesomeness.<\/p>\n\n\n

    1. \u201cService Model\u201d<\/a> by Adrian Tchaikovsky<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Among sci-fi authors Tchaikovsky is about as dependable as rain in Seattle. \u201cService Model\u201d, judging from the synopsis, is a humor filled dystopian tale up there with the best of them. Its being marketed as \u201cMurderbot meets Redshirts\u201d which, alongside the name gracing the cover, is certainly a winning combination.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

      1. \u201cBirds Aren\u2019t Real: The True Story of Mass Avian Murder and the Largest Surveillance Campaign in US History\u201d<\/a> by Peter McIndoe and Connor Gaydos<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Conspiracy theories have become increasingly popular in recent years. These days you can\u2019t walk outside without running into a flat-earther or Moon Landing denier. Birds Aren\u2019t Real started out as a campaign to show just how absurd conspiracy theories can be and here the champions of the comedic movement are at it again. If the book is anything like their TedTalk, expect plenty of laughs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

        4. \u201cCraft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil\u201d<\/a> by Ananda Lima<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The brilliant Ananda Lima is a rising Brazilian American star that wowed poetry-lovers with her collection \u201cMother\/Land\u201d. Early reviews indicate she\u2019s done it again with her fiction debut, \u201cCraft Stories I wrote for the Devil\u201d. Like many of the most powerful Latin American novels, Lima tells the story of an immigrant none of us will want to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
