Book Mail: A Roundup of the Book Mail I Received Last Week

A week’s worth of book mail in mid-June is a reader’s dream come true—packed with new book releases just in time for the height of summer. This exciting book haul brings fresh energy to your TBR pile, with stories perfect for lazy afternoons, poolside lounging, or late-night reading sessions. Each book holds the potential to become a favorite and earn a spot among the best books of 2025. Whether you're curating your own book recommendations or simply indulging in a personal reading retreat, this delivery is pure mid-year magic.

Where to Buy These Books:

I want to note that I do not get paid to do these posts, I just love authors and the book industry. However, they do take time and energy to create. If you want to donate a few dollars to my coffee fund, which keeps this blog going, you can do so here: https://venmo.com/AshleyHasty or here: http://paypal.me/hastybooklist.

What I Wore:

Dress | Earrings | Necklace| Makeup

Wearing an olive green sundress in the middle of June, with your go-to gold hoop earrings and herringbone necklace catching the light, is the definition of main character aesthetic. There’s an ease to the way the fabric moves with you, a quiet confidence in the simplicity of the look—it’s main character clothing that radiates style for confidence and fashion for self-expression. As you flip through a fresh stack of book mail—each cover promising character driven novels, books about strong women, or stories of self-discovery—you feel like the protagonist of a beautifully written summer chapter. This is how you embody main character energy: by curating a life filled with book aesthetic and thoughtful personal style inspiration. With every page turned and every outfit chosen with care, you're living your main character life, surrounded by books and fashion that make you feel empowered, inspired, and completely at home in your story.
