Feature Book - July 2025

“Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August.” – Jenny Han, The Summer I Turned Pretty

Hello Summer!

With our first official heat wave of the summer (please, let it be the only!) over, we’re coming to you this weekend ready to relax, hit the beach (soon!), and celebrate both Canada Day and the Fourth of July. We hope you’ve got some fun plans as well to kick off summer - and are able to stay cool, too!

Way back in January when we announced our food theme for 2025, we told you here that we were switching things up a bit in July. We can’t wait to discuss our thoughts and pairings for Jennifer Ryan’s historical fiction novel, The Kitchen Front on July 20.

Take this as your cue to grab the book and read along with us in the next three weeks. Historical fiction, a cooking contest, and strong female leads? What’s not to love?

Whether you're poolside, seaside, or just hiding from your kids in the backyard, we’re wishing you an epic start to the summer reading season.
