August 2026 Theme: Soil & Shadows

As America reflects on its 250-year legacy, Black America reflects on the secrets within the shadows of the soil—carried through generations by the ghosts of Civil War ancestors and the sacred fight for land built upon the struggle to fulfill broken promises of forty acres and a mule.

This August 2026, treat yourself to a beautifully curated book box highlighting the Black experience. Our debut book box celebrates and eviscerates the United States’ semiquincentennial. Arriving at your doorstep every February, April, June, August, October, and December, each box contains two handpicked books paired with thoughtfully themed bookish extras to elevate your reading rituals and bookshelves.
