In July, I had one of my steadiest reading months because of the Bookshop x Libro.fm joint summer reading challenge. Yet, despite all of my reading….I've only actually finished TWO books in July. Today's episode is about the struggles of being a mood reader and a run-down of the books I've been "currently reading."

June 2023 Book Club Titles
There are a TON of celebrations in June, but the two cultural heritage ones are Caribbean Heritage Month and National Immigration Month. I recently learned about National Immigration Heritage Month and can’t believe I didn’t know about it until this year.
So let’s get into this month’s book club titles. In today’s episode, I want to share the description of each title, talk a little bit about why I selected it, share some author bio, and read a brief excerpt out loud to you all.
Our Monthly Book Club service is for readers committed to reading more diversely but not sure where to start or what to read next? Each month, you will choose from three compelling and culturally diverse books that I've carefully chosen to delight, inspire, and educate you about different representation. Each shipment includes: the book(s) of your choice, packed with a gift from a small BIPOC businesses or myself, branded bookmarks, and a personalized note. You can buy one time, subscribe, or pre-pay for monthly book club titles. See FAQ tab to read more about subscription/pre-paid perks, such as free shipping. Visit our website, www.tumasbooks.com (www.tumasbooks.com) to learn more and order your Monthly Book Club pick(s) today!
