Since March 2019, TODAY host Jenna Bush Hager has chosen a new book every month to share with the Read With Jenna book club. Jenna works hard to choose stories that will delight, entertain and challenge readers. She understands the power of a good book to unite communities and ignite conversation.

As you read each month's novel, you can also join the discussion on the Read With Jenna Instagram, the Read With Jenna Facebook group and the Read With Jenna Goodreads group. Follow all the accounts to stay up to date and share your thoughts about all of Jenna's picks.

And if you're interested in supporting independent bookstores, one of Jenna's favorite things is Bookshop, an online retailer that supports local bookstores. If you want to find a specific location to support, you can find them on the site's map and they'll receive the full profit of your order. Otherwise, your order will contribute to an earnings pool that will be distributed evenly among independent bookstores.
