Your hold is ready! (7. 18. 2021)
Hello, for the first time, from Connecticut! I’m back at my childhood home for the next month or so, compiling this newsletter from my tiny, green-painted bedroom, very-much-not-enjoying the brutal New England humidity. Fortunately, now that summer is in full swing, I’ve had more space and time to read great stuff, and I’m so excited to send this newsletter your way. As always, let me know what you think and what you want to see more of. Plus, I’m always open to your recs and would love to know what your current favorite reads/listens are.
