Hi, friend!

Welcome back to Worth the Read! Before we jump in, a little housekeeping: Pix Plus has officially launched! Huge thank-you to everyone who read during the free preview period—I hope you’re enjoying Worth the Read as much as I’m enjoying writing it. If you haven’t subscribed, it’s worth it, because now I feel free to share my most unfiltered thoughts tucked safely behind a paywall.

And in that spirit, today is all about looking ahead at what’s coming in June. I’m highlighting five books I’m excited for… and one that’s already got me rolling my eyes. Plus, I’m admitting to the genre I struggle most with and sharing which mega-ultra-massive bestseller I still have no plans to read.
