Book a Day: July Reading List & Author Chats

Deep into summer and our Book a Day program continues with July picks for your reading enjoyment and morale!

We’re posting a new or classic book recommendation each day to boost your book intake, with absorbing reads to occupy and entertain. Some of our Book a Day selections also feature Facebook Live events with authors. See our July recommendations below!
