👋 Hello readers!👋 I'm thrilled to announce Of Women and Salt by Gabriela Garcia as next month's pick.
This book! This book is so good it made its way to two of our best of spring lists: literary fiction/NF, and historical fiction. It's a poignant story following multiple generations of Cuban and Cuban American women. Jeanette, combatting addiction, is determined to understand her family history, but her mother — who’s still processing the emotional effects of leaving Cuba — won’t give up much. When Jeanette travels to Cuba to visit her grandmother, uncomfortable secrets and betrayals come to light. In breathtaking prose and evocative imagery, Garcia allows the reader to travel through history alongside these complicated, resilient women as they navigate a legacy of trauma.

And this month's giveaway is extra special: We're collaborating with Flatiron Books, Lucky No. Candles, and Libro.fm to give one lucky winner a signed copy, audiobook, and a sweet and spicy 8 oz. candle that's perfect for spring. 🍊☀️ (Nine runner-ups will receive signed copies and/or free audiobooks.)

 BuzzFeed Books + Book Club are merging! Starting next month, the BuzzFeed Book Club and the BuzzFeed Books newsletters will be one. My guess is many of you are probably already subscribed to both, but if you're not — the good news is you'll now be receiving our all-encompassing weekly email with exclusive reviews and recommendations, author features, bookish product tips, and much more. (The Facebook group won't be affected.)
I'm not a huge fan of change but, personally, I think this is a good one. Excited to see you there!
Happy reading, Arianna
