New Releases - June 2017

Armchair Book Expo Wrap-Up Note from Donna:

It has been another successful year for Armchair Book Expo. I thought the topics were a bit more thought-provoking and fresh. If you missed any of them you'll find links below. The Twitter parties were fun and I met some new-to-me bloggers. I really liked the Instagram challenges. It really made me step up my game on my pictures. I wish there was a bit more promotion opportunity for them to encourage people to check them out. Here at Girl Who Reads we are resuming out normal programming with our look at new releases for June.
