BONUS SNEAK PEEK: Beyond Bookstagram (June 2021)

<p>I’m thrilled to share the first episode of what will be a new bonus podcast episode series for $5/mo patrons of the show. To hear these episodes every month, join the Sarah’s Bookshelves Live <strong><a href= "https://www.patreon.com/sarahsbookshelves">Patreon Community</a></strong>!</p> <p><strong><em>BEYOND BOOKSTAGRAM </em></strong>is a bonus podcast series that highlights lesser known <strong>books that are not splashed all over Instagram</strong> (either backlist or under-the-radar newer books). A rotating featured patron shares 3 books she/he loves that are not splashed all over Bookstagram. And, I add my own commentary or research on the 3 books.</p> <p><em>This post contains affiliate links, through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!).</em></p> <p><strong>If you join our <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/sarahsbookshelves">Patreon Community</a> (sign up <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/sarahsbookshelves">here</a>!), you also get:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Sarah’s monthly Book Recommendations bonus podcast episode series</strong>…where I share my own book recommendations in the same format as the big show. I often share my thoughts on books here that I don’t share anywhere else.</li> <li><strong>Monthly Superlatives bonus podcast episodes</strong>…each big show guest shares their picks for 5 bookish superlative categories (and I add in my own picks for some categories via editing).</li> <li>Our<strong> semi-new quarterly bonus podcast episode series called <em>BOOK PREVIEW EXTRAS</em></strong>! In these episodes, Catherine and I share at least 4 bonus books that we’re excited about that we did not share in the regular Preview episode. </li> <li><strong>Weekly Real-Time Reading Newsletter</strong>…I share the books I’m reading (and DNF’ing) in real time. And, patrons share their own current reads in a Facebook discussion. This is the only place I share every single book I read and DNF.</li> </ul> <h2><strong>June Featured Patron</strong></h2> <p><strong>Kris
