Welcome to Pride Month! For our reading challenge in June, we're looking for stories representing minorities, whether it's LGBTQIAP+, BIPOC or neurodiverse. One of the benefits of reading fiction is that it increases empathy in readers and that comes from exploring viewpoints other than our own, so this month, step out of your comfort zone a little and try a story from an underrepresented community

Mai Corland’s fantasy romance epic FIVE BROKEN BLADES is at the pointy end of the bestseller lists in the US and UK.

Five ruthless killers. Five deadly motives. One King - who must die. Six of Crows meets She Who Became the Sun in a feast of treason and seduction set against a dazzling fantasy backdrop of Korean history and folklore.

Mai is a Korean American writer, born in Seoul and adopted into New York. From there, she ran away from winter and studied in Florida at Rollins College and the University of Miami. Due to a variety of questionable decisions, she currently lives in the cold again with her partner, children, and a goldfish who will outlive them all. When not writing, you can find her asleep or clutching her latte machine!

In How to End a Love Story, Yulin Kuang proves she is the writer worthy of adapting Emily Henry's books for the screen. Her romance novel debut delivers all the Henryesque feels, chemistry, spice, and character development against a backdrop of a writers' room where our heroine's popular YA book series is being adapted. How to End a Love Story gives Emily Henry with a dash of Roni Loren.

After finishing How to End a Love Story, I was even more excited to see Emily's books brought to life and wanted to share Yulin's savvy and engaging romance with you, so if you pick up a copy of How To End a Love Story, we'll take 20% off Emily Henry's books, including her new release, Funny Story. See for yourself how well their voices mesh
