Welcome to the seventh annual Mother's Day Bookish Event. Mother's Day is coming up so we thought it was the perfect opportunity to salute literary mothers, grandmothers, step-mothers, mothers-to-be, and honorary mothers. We've gathered some of the best books with maternal characters by award-winning, bestselling and top-rated authors which we will be featuring for the duration of the event. Below you will find the links to each book spotlight this week plus the King Sumo giveaway where one lucky reader will win a $10 Amazon gift card. This page will update every day by 5 pm EST. Good luck and happy reading!
