I'm very excited to share our first Books Right Now book club pick: Burn the Sea by Mona Tewari!

Burn the Sea is a historical fantasy novel that retells the story of the South Indian queen Abbakka Chowta. A story of survival, political machinations, and colonial resistance, Burn the Sea hits all of the right marks!

This book will be our selection for July, and I encourage all book club members to discuss the story in both the spoiler and non-spoiler channels on the Discord!

Early in August, I’ll be conducting a virtual interview with Mona Tewari, which will be available to subscribers within the week. As an exciting exclusive opportunity for Bindery subscribers, I will be asking you to submit any questions you may have for Mona, which I will then ask her during our interview. The only guidelines are to keep your questions positive and limit them to two per individual.

Thank you so much for being a part of the Books Right Now community, and I’m so excited to kick off our book club in July!
