Classmates,

It’s time to choose our next Book Club read. We have three options, and y’all get the vote. 📚

Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan

A divorced Black couple, co-parenting, grief, and the possibility of trying again. Is love enough to make it work this time?

Seven Days in June by Tia Williams

Two Black writers reconnect as adults with a complicated romantic history between them. Sexy, funny, and messy enough to have us asking, “Girl, WHAT are you doing?”

Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson

Siblings uncover their late mother’s secrets and realize how much of her life they never knew. Family, identity, inheritance, and plenty to talk about.

Vote for the book you want us to read together. Voting closes Friday, October 9 at 11:59 PM ET.

We haven’t set the meeting date yet. We’ll share the winning book and meeting details afterward, and the Zoom link will be available in advance so you have time to plan.
