Here is my Review Books Spreadsheet. Yellow highlighted books are ones past their publication date that I still haven't read and reviewed. I use pink highlights for reviews due in even numbered months so that I can see at a glance how many I have for each month. Ideally, this keeps me from over-committing to review books.
My Physical Review Pile
Since I attended my first ALA at the end of June, my stack has grown immensely. I won't be listing the individual titles but you can look at my spreadsheet to see what I got. I emptied a bookcase to have room for these. The top of my entertainment center is no longer adequate to the cause.
My Kindle Review Pile
Since I have such a large pile of print books, I have been avoiding visiting NetGalley recently. Here are the eARCs on my review stack.
Hush by Carey Baldwin is her self-published romantic suspense novella. It was released on July 6.
Good As Gone by Douglas Corleone was recived through Minotaur Books' eGalley program. It is a thriller that will be released on August 20.
Cast in Sorrow by Michelle Sagara was a NetGalley find. I have read all of the earlier books in this fantasy series. It will be released on August 27.
The Edge of Normal by Carla Norton is also a Minotaur Books' eGalley. It is a thriller that will be released on September 10.
The Impersonator by Mary Miley is my most recent acquisition from Minotaur Books. It is a historical thriller that will be released on Sept. 17.
Will in Scarlet by Matthew Cody was a book that I was invited to read through NetGalley. It will be released on October 8.

Here are the next few books on my review stack.
Here are the ones scheduled for early September release:
Those should definitely keep me busy during my last month of summer vacation.
