Join me and my TBR Jar as we pick out what books to read in June! This month, I'm going with a Pile of Possibilites to choose from and I'm also going to put up a poll for you to vote on a third book for book club, out of the five that I pick from my TBR Jar reading prompts... makes sense?

There are two books that I have already decided to read in June, and you are more than welcome to join me in reading them for book club :)

If you haven't heard, there is also a Historical Fiction Readathon going on in June, and you'll find more information on that below, as well as some videos with great recommendations and lots of excitement for the event!

I hope you're having a fantastic day, and if not that it gets better. I'm very happy to have you here.
