Happy Monday!

We hope you’re all enjoying your days, especially those of you who have the day off. We have three extended excerpts for you to read that we’re sure will get you on your feet and to your nearest bookstore ASAP so you can finish the stories!

Additionally, we have two amazing full reads that you can enjoy. As you may know, the last week of September is Banned Books Week, but we wanted to honor our banned books all month-long. That’s why, during the month of September, all of our full reads will be banned books!
