Suns Out, Books Out: June Releases

Holy Moley y’all! June has finally gotten here and I can’t tell you how elated I am about this! This past month (really, the last few) has been really rough and I’ll be more than happy when this school year officially comes to an end! I apologize for my radio silence here but I’m really trying to put one foot in front of the other so I thank you for your patience and continuing to hang in there with me. If you want to see my face or whatever, check out my IG live wrap up for the Haitian Readathon with Author Debbie Rigaud, Bookstagrammers Raethereviewer & chptrshakedown. There are also some other lives there too for book mail & book hauls complete with an opening song!

Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, June is bringing us not just the sun (finally) & the end of the school year but new books too! Of course, please do double check dates because publishing and supply chain issues can still be a menace.
