This month we’re talking about summer reading! Here are some reads to give you different vibes for your summer booklist. If you’d love a family drama, check out Black Cake, which spans two times periods and geographic regions and will keep you turning the pages. Speaking of page-turners, Seven Days in June is a blazing hot romantic novel that you’ll devour and be left wanting more.

Maybe you’d like something that you can read in short bursts as your summer fun allows. Dantiel Moniz’ debut collection of short stores, and Morgan Harper Nichols’ art-filled writing will be perfect for you! If you’re looking for some non-fiction about travel, Airplane Mode and America the Beautiful take on travel on two different scales: adventuring through the United States’ national parks, and traveling across the world.

And finally, if you want to read a quick classic about a very chaotic lady, pick up Jane Austen’s novella about a truly and hilariously unlikeable Lady Susan.

Happy reading!
