Welcome to the Summer 2025 Seasons of Books Giveaway Hop, hosted by It Starts At Midnight and Versatileer!
Once upon a time, this was the Month of Books Giveaway Hop, now it’s the Seasons of Books Giveaway Hop, with the hops starting on the days the seasons change. Today, June 20, is the first official day of SUMMER for the 2025 season, meaning that the hop starts TODAY! YAY!
These last few weeks of Spring in the ATL have been WET. Gloomy and WET. It’s been looking like we moved back to Seattle where they call this weather “liquid sunshine”. The nearly daily thunderboomers have thrilled the cats NOT AT ALL. Except for Hecate, whose ‘give a damn’ is completely busted. As long as the rain and the lightning are on the other side of the glass she doesn’t care. At all.
But her humans are feeling a bit waterlogged.
I’m starting to wonder if my reading tastes just don’t match anyone else’s. This is yet another season where not a one of the books featured in the hop graphic are on my personal TBR pile for the season – not that I’m not always looking forward to more than a few books EVERY season. Here are a few that have risen to the top of my list for this summer of 2025:












Alchemy and a Cup of Tea by Rebecca Thorne
Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz
Framed in Death by J.D. Robb
Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher
The Library at Hellebore by Cassandra Khaw
The Misplaced Physician by Jeri Westerson
Pearl City by Julia Vee and Ken Bebelle
