​​June is the ideal time to sit back, relax, and read (I say that about every month, though).  If you haven’t already made your summer reading list, you’re probably thinking about it.  With the start of every month, I enjoy looking through the upcoming releases and adding a few to my own TBR list.  Just "click" on the book title to read the synopsis.

- June 22Songs in Ursa Major  – By Emma Brodie - For music lovers! 

The year is 1969, and the Bayleen Island Folk Fest is abuzz with one name: Jesse Reid.
