I can’t believe that we’re already more than halfway through the year. In Toronto, we entered stage 3 of reopening this month, which meant being able to browse in bookstores again! (Honestly, this was the highlight of my month.) READING PROGRESS I read 8 books this month, and all but 2 were new releases. I only have 6...

On my personal social channels, I have been quite vocal in my support for Black Lives Matter. I want to clearly state that I, and Lavish Literature by extension, will always support Black Lives Matter. While I aim to create a welcoming space to discuss books, there is no place for injustice and prejudice here — or anywhere....
