The List: Spring/Summer 2013

If you've been following the blog for a while now, you know that I do this once a season and that I'm running a bit behind this time.

Note: All release dates and covers are accurate as of the date this post goes live but are subject to change.

Simon & Schuster's catalog apparently only goes until Spring 2013 right now which is why it's not included. The images are not the full covers, but enough for you to see what they look like. Lastly, this is not a complete list of Spring/Summer releases, just those that have caught my eye (and have not been included in the Winter 2013 list).

Update: 12.18.12 Simon & Schuster summer catalog books added to the end of the list. 

(P.S. It's under a page cut this time. When you see the post, you'll understand why.)
