What are you looking forward to most for July? The World Cup has consumed my life (as it does every four years) and I’m looking forward to seeing all these African and Latin American nations leading this year. It’s truly been the most shocking tournament I’ve witnessed in so many of the best ways ⚽️🥅🏟️ Summer is always slow for publishing but there are still so many great books coming out this month so make sure to put those library orders in and look for these on your bookstore runs 📚 And before I forget, the Children of Diaspora book club is reading Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar for July so if you haven’t joined yet, now is the time ☺️ #newreleasetuesday #newbookalert #bookstagram

Have you read books by any of these authors? Here’s my take on today’s @readcaribbean challenge of 8 islands to read from. I tried to give a good mix of well established and more modern authors, as well as genres. Y’all already know I’m a huge Edwidge Danticat fan but I’ve also read at least one book from each of these authors. I just finished Hurricane Child by Kacen Callender last week and I’m currently reading When Life Gives You Mangoes by Kereen Getten I’m going to have a more detailed look at these authors up on my Bindery later this week so y’all know where to find that 👀 #readcaribbean #caribbeanheritagemonth #queerbooks #caribbeanbooks #readinglist
