A List of Lists of Books Coming Out in July (which it now is impossibly)

Welcome to Today in Books, our daily round-up of literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more.

I did a summer reading list round-up a little while ago and that seemed to go over pretty well, and as I opened my email/RSS/social media this morning, I thought a round-up of the lists coming out about just July books might be a good way to kick off the month. Here we go.
