August 2025 New Book Releases You’ll Cancel Plans to Read

From soul-stealing romantasy to beachside betrayals, August’s new books are here to hijack your TBR and your social life.

August is giving major “read instead of socialize” energy.

We’re talking cursed romances, unhinged thrillers, magical librarians, and one suspiciously attractive demon. Whether you’re hiding from the heat or pretending your to-do list doesn’t exist, these new book releases will ruin your productivity in the most beautiful way.

You could spend August being responsible.

Or you could lose yourself in a literary underworld, stalk your ex-fiancé at a luxury resort, and maybe… fall in love with a vampire.

No judgment here.

The August 2025 Release Lineup Is Stacked

The August 2025 release lineup is stacked, chaotic, and deeply on-brand for anyone who’s emotionally attached to fictional characters. We’ve rounded up the most unmissable books across fantasy, thriller, romance, YA, and everything in between.

Add them all. You were never going to keep that weekend open anyway.

You’ll Need a Bigger TBR

If your August calendar is suddenly suspiciously full of “reading appointments,” we won’t tell. These books are worth the late nights, book hangovers, and emotional destruction.

And hey, it’s not hoarding if it’s eBooks.
