July is a great time to read one of the earliest LDS novels: Susa Young Gates' John Stevens' Courtship. Want to understand how women's dress and domesticity became sites of negotiating the church's relationship with the US? This is a good place to start. And not a bad romance novel.
My latest discusses parenting in uncertain times and the importance of being led by the Spirit.

I have a whole paper about how Susa Young Gates lived George Eliot and maybe tried to imitate Adam Bede (another seduction novel)
