Summer reads and fall selections, it’s on!

 Hello, Book Lovers!

It’s time to kick off the summer reading season and get ready for some amazing fall picks!

The HIB Book Group takes a short break during July and August, but we’ll be back to meet up on the first Friday of September. In the meantime, we’ve got two books for you to dive into this summer - one for each month. We’ll discuss these when we return after Labor Day, so grab your bookmarks and let’s get reading (or listening - whatever works best for you)!

Here are the upcoming book selections to inspire your summer and fall reads. Feel free to get ahead of the game and let these titles spark new ideas and discoveries. We also encourage you to bring any other great books or thoughts to our next gathering. We always love hearing about what inspires you!
