“That was what I'd always loved about reading, what had driven me to write in the first place. That feeling that a new world was being spun like a spiderweb around you and you couldn't move until the whole thing had revealed itself to you.” -Emily Henry, Beach Read

Find YOUR Beach Read at Helen Kate's Beach Reads book sale, starting on June 22 and running through the 27th. Paperbacks are three for $1 and hardcovers $1 each.
