Dear readers,It has been a busy and, honestly, tiring few weeks. Last weekend, I finally got a chance to get back to reading and audiobook listening: what a reprieve. And while I have various books and themes in mind for this newsletter, I want to recommend a book that has been on my mind ever since picking it up at Word on the Water in London in April (more on the best London book spots here).Only as I am finalizing this newsletter, did I notice this is the 50th issue! It is a joy to share my thoughts, but even more wonderful are all the conversations, recommendations, and joint book shop visits it has led to. Happy 2-year anniversary and 50th issue!
