Happy Tuesday!

Like that one old adage, so many updates, so little time.

We have a lot going on this week on Bookum, so no intro, all news like Ron Burgundy.

This Week On Bookum:

First - Our Bookum Club conversation with Robert F. Smith is being rescheduled (it was originally scheduled for today).

We will let you know the official new date later this week on Bookum App and also in next week's newsletter.

Second - Join us tomorrow at 5:00 EST for a wonderful book conversation with NY Times Bestselling author Morgan Jerkins on her new book Zeal. The book is absolutely phenomenal and the conversation will be an open nook live on Bookum App with a special guest!

Next (technically third) - On Thursday at 7:30 join us for another open book nook discussion for the book Happy Land by Dolen Perkins-Valdez. This will be a live open group nook with book content creators Jordan (Completely_booked) and the She Well Read Podcast!

Please join one or both of these conversations!

Last but not least… (drumroll please) 🥁🥁🥁

V2 WEB is finally here!

Our team has been hard at work developing the new website interface of Bookum and now you can use both the website or the app version of Bookum!

Everything from Video Nooks, Nooks, Membership Paid-Clubs, Community, audio upload (Cubby features) are now all on the web browser version.

We also have light or dark mode on the website for those that have a preference.

For our millennials, Gen X & Boomers, this update is for you!

Thank you to everyone that supports Bookum. This new release is very special for us and we hope you all try it out!

This is still the first page for Bookum and we are so excited for you all to see what comes next!

Consider starting your book club or hosting your next book talk on Bookum today! - www.bookumapp.com

This Week in The Book World:

Cue the jingle:

Take a look, it's in a book… It's Reading Rainbow!

That's right, after 20 years PBS has found their new host of their famous show Reading Rainbow in Mychal the Librarian!

TBD on when the first show will air (or even where it will air) but all that matters is Mychal (and Bookum users btw) is taking up the helm!

This is a big win for the book community and if you have seen any of Mychal's content you know he is the perfect pick for the reboot of the show!

Make sure to check out Mychal's socials for all the updates.
