A Lust for Reading: ON OUR BOOKSHELVES

Romance novels don’t need to be your thing to enjoy a book that explores love and all its intricacies. This month’s bookshelf is proof of that. As usual, we’ve tried to choose a little of everything: a few classics, some poetry and nonfiction—even a graphic novel (no pun intended…). Enjoy the read.
