June has been a lot so far, from settling into my new house to navigating an intense family member diagnosis to dealing with an IRS audit. Oh, and planning two wedding receptions. A. Lot.

But we do what we can, and sometimes Amazon helps us do what we can.

***A Sponsored Thing: Tulsa Massacre: Revenge, Out Now***

I read John Riddley’s new book in a matter of days. There’s so much to love: Time travel, social justice and striving to put right what once went wrong, to quote one of my favorite shows of all time, Quantum Leap (Scott Bakula!). If you’re a fan of 11/22/63, Inglorious Basterds and even my #1 favorite movie of all time, Back to the Future, you’ll devour this book. Here’s the synopsis.

If you could change history, would you? That is the question for Zack Randle and Jason Reynolds. They are thrust into the past, the literal past, of United States history. For Zack, a Black man with roots in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the mission is personal—his kin was driven out of Tulsa in “The Tulsa Massacre” of 1921.

Part ghost story and part sci-fi crime thriller, the adventure back to the past will have you on the edge of your seat. It’s a race against time not to let the powers of evil win, yet again.

Buy it now at Amazon.

And now, here’s the June Amazon Edit, from the perfect thank-you notes to a must-have, flattering dress for summer, to the perfect indoor/outdoor rug at a great price.
