What newsletter do I always make time to read? @elizabethheld's What to Read If. @danoshinsky of @inboxcollective asked me and a bunch of other newsletter folks for our favorites. Of course, the real answer is about 10 or 12 or 15 different newsletters!

Great discussion here by my bookstacker buddy @ElizabethHeld - w/ 5 thoughts: 1/5-In the text, Darcy evolves & apologizes, in what I like to call Austen's post-game analysis. 2/5-It's Elizabeth standing up to him that spurs his reckoning https://t.co/I9KijdI6GR

Talked a lot this weekend about how @BrynMawrAlum are such interesting people. For example: Andrea Tang, fantasy novelist AND Jiu-Jitsu champion.
Update: I won Euros! The good news is that I finally get to eat all the pizza & pasta in Italy that I want! The bad news is that after getting my hand raised in the finals, I totally missed the opportunity to bellow “ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!” at the top of my lungs
