The calendar really got us this time. It turns out April is PACKED so much so that Blush-Worthy Bookclub will have to wait and we’ll see you again May 3! To be clear: there will be no Bookclub in April.

On the bright side, this means you have tons of time to read one (or all) the suggested reads, or to really make a dent in your TBR. Whatever you chose to read, we can’t wait to talk to you about it May 3, 3pm . 💗
