Hello readers! I am on a weekend road trip with my oldest for a college-related event, and am hoping for some hotel reading time and a bookstore visit ~ keep your fingers crossed for me!

Today’s newsletter brings you some links of interest, some recent additions to my books-about-books shelf, and a detailed flowchart of my book discovery process. Paid subscribers get this flowchart in PDF form with detailed descriptions. Let’s dig in!

Links of Interest

• I don’t know how to define this newsletter, but I loved Jess’ book and am absolutely adoring her short form writing as well.

• Jo Piazza has revived her Under the Influence podcast and I am LOVING it!

• Speaking of podcasts, I am getting to be informed and outraged about billionaires (know thy enemies, I guess?) on the regular with one of my new favorite shows Good Bad Billionaire. Show description: Simon Jack and Zing Tsjeng find out how the richest people on the planet made their billions, and then they judge them. Are they good, bad, or just another billionaire?

• My favorite fall drink from Starbucks when I have reached my caffeine limit for the day.
