If you’re like me, you know that the best reading experiences are those where the story is so gripping that the real world melts away. This month, our staff offer a list of books we found so engaging we just had to share them. If you’re looking for your next page-turner, we have you covered.

For National Poetry Month, this month’s Now Reading roundup is dedicated to all things poetry.

As Women’s History Month comes to a close, this month’s Now Reading column highlights books by female authors.

February celebrates two things: black history and Valentine’s Day. At Literary Mama, some of us celebrated via our literary choices.

The hustle and bustle of September can leave us all a little frazzled and in need of an escape. In this month’s Now Reading, we are featuring the books some of us Literary Mamas read when we need more than Calgon to take us away. These books represent our escape into the written word when we can’t actually leave our daily routines.

One of my favorite things to do on vacation is talk to people about books, specifically what book they’ve chosen to bring with them, tucked away in their carry on, or in an ambitious stack in their checked bag. With little space in a suitcase, it’s so interesting to see what people have chosen as worthy enough to pack.

It’s time to pick up that book you’ve been meaning to get to all year. Maybe you’re like me with an ever-growing pile of To be Read books spilling from the nightstand, or maybe you need a good suggestion to get your summer reading going. Whatever type of reader you are, we have your covered in this month’s Now Reading list.
