My Aardvark Book Club predictions for June 2025 are in, and book lovers are already wondering what fresh picks could be headed their way next month. Known for its eclectic mix of buzzy debuts, twisty thrillers, and thought-provoking fiction, Aardvark always manages to surprise and delight readers with its monthly selections. So, what might be landing in your June box?
By looking at upcoming releases, current book world buzz, and the kinds of titles Aardvark tends to choose, I’ve rounded up my best predictions for June’s lineup. I did not find a ton of horror book releases for June, but I would honestly be okay with them not having so many horror/dark theme books for a change! Whether you’re craving a gripping mystery, a literary gem, or a bold new voice, these are the books that could be featured next!
There’s a good mix of genres on my Aardvark Book Club June 2025 predictions list. If you want to know about even more books releasing in June 2025, check out my complete list here.

If you aren’t familiar with Aardvark Book Club, you can check out my full review of this subscription service. The basic idea is Aardvark Book Club chooses five books from different genres every month and members can choose their pick when the books go live. You can also add on up to two more books for only $9.99 each. If you don’t like any of the picks, you can choose to skip and save your credit for the next month, which is honestly the best part of this service to me. I don’t like subscription boxes that only offer one book selection that you don’t know ahead of time. If you are interested in trying Aardvark Book Club, you can use my code ALLISON when you checkout at this link to get your first book for only $4!
