Read the best books of summer 2022 because, technically, we’ve still got a few weeks left and there’s time to catch up on what you’ve missed. This roundup from CBC (that’s handily divided up by genre) will point you to the perfect read to relax with this long weekend.

Listen to The Forever Story by JID, the new album from the motormouthed Atlanta rapper. A sprawling opus that mixes personal stories and pontifications on Black history. It’s bracing, energetic, and some are calling it the rap album of the year. Stream it on Spotify.
