Back to school, back to book picks 📚

We know the reading list is about to get long, so we're kicking off the year with a few that aren't assigned.

Check out September's books of the month and let us know which one you're starting with. 😉

Dora: "A fun read about friendship, college life, growing up and finding yourself, just in time when the semester starts"
Daksh: "A raw, no-excuses memoir about pushing past your own limits — read it if you want to start the semester with something to prove"
Amna: "A quiet, beautifully sad novel about a man who finds refuge in books while life happens around him, for anyone who loves literature as much as the characters do"
Aki: "As summer comes to an end, the perfect read to hold onto the warmth, romance, and bittersweet feeling of summer just a little longer"
