Lit Hub's Most Anticipated Books of 2024, Part Two

Well, it's been a pretty bad year so far, all things considered, with the strong potential to get worse. But as always, there's a silver lining (of sorts): the books. Now that the year's reading is half over, it's time for an updated preview, so here are the books the Literary Hub staff is most looking forward to reading in the back half of 2024.
