Late to the celebration but Mother's Day was this month! We hope you got time to spend with your loved ones and family!

We know how much mothers set the foundation for reading in families (women make up over 70% of the book market and more than 50% of published authors are women) so we thought it would be fun to share a book list for mothers to read to their children.

Let us know which ones you are looking forward to reading!

Dua Lipa joins Oprah, Emma Roberts, Emma Watson, Reese Witherspoon as some of the many famous celebrities that have started their own book clubs.

What happens when you take the power Booktok Community (120+ Billion Views) with the new NHL franchise the Seattle Kraken… pure mania!

Women on BookTok that have become obsessed with hockey romances, like the book “Icebreakers”, have taken that fantasy to the ice rinks to find their real-life hockey crushes.

We won't spoil the whole story here but let's just say that the Kraken were such fans of the mania that they flew a BookTok on a private plane to watch the team live during a playoff game!
