M. Suzanne Terry

After spending a good chunk of my lunch hour looking for two more things to include in this list, I’ve decided I don’t need five things. It’s just fine the way it is. It has books. It has cozy tips. It encourages literary citizenship. What more could you want (rhetorical)?

• The Modern Mrs. Darcy Summer Reading Guide comes out next week!! This will mark 15 years of stellar recommendations of seasonal new releases from the MMD team. Here are some backlist favorites to whet your appetite.
• A lot of these tips for making the end of the workday feel like a beginning rather than an ending don’t really appeal to me specifically (as a single person who lives alone and also is allergic to just about everything outside), but I like the general idea. I like having an evening “now I’m at home and not working” ritual. This is a good reminder of how much I definitely need that off switch in my life.
• Two of my book club leaders already have a Little Free Library at their houses, but I am on a mission to promote more. I’m also in the process of seeing if I am allowed to have one on the back porch of my apartment. But I love the idea of doing it as a group.  

There you have it. Short and sweet. Enjoy your weekend!
