a lifestyle blog for book lovers

What are your weekend plans? It’s been a hard and heartbreaking week here in Louisville. My heart is broken for Breonna Taylor, her friends and family, our community here, and those everywhere suffering under the burden of injustice and struggling for change.

I’m counting on a quiet few days at home, visiting on the front porch with family members I haven’t seen in too long. I hope your weekend is just what you need it to be.

My favorite finds from around the web:

  • Why Everything Is Sold Out. The pandemic broke online shopping: “The consumer system had begun to rot long before the coronavirus made its brittleness obvious.”

Have a great weekend!
