OK, team. Sorry this has taken so long.
Here's a little change I've been intending to make for ages. From now on I'm going to post two months at a time. So next month there'll be the books listed here for June plus all those due out in July.
Nothing else has changed; we'd still love for you to share the books we've missed off the list.
Hope this helps!
