I feel you, Laura -- summer is Not My Time, either, and I am so ready for fall. (It's always refreshing to me to find someone else who feels this way.)
This is why I publicly gripe about summer on social media—it has enough supporters, and the summer-haters always come out of the woodwork and thank me for voicing an unpopular opinion. Fall will be here soon!
Honestly complaining about summer feels like a calling. People do it all winter long and think nothing of it. Just trying to even out the playing field here!
I loved being part of this and seeing what others recommended! I also read Alice Wong's photo essay about her experience this summer, and it was so difficult but so important.
(And I must admit, I am a summer lover, so I will be clawing on to these last days by my fingernails! Fall is my favorite, but it does mean that nice weather is coming to an end, which I hate!)
Thanks for your rec of SUCH A BRILLIANT BOOK! I have Alice Wong's essay bookmarked to read when I have some real time to devote to it. I'm a few pages into her upcoming memoir and it's so good.

I love, love, loved The Swimmers!

It's noble work you're undertaking, Laura...
I'm so ready for fall. Sweaters! Hot coffee! Crisp air!
But no pumpkin spice. We're not animals 😉
Love that I found new books and new newsletters in this one.
Thank you for inviting me to be a part of this, and I loved reading the other recommendations!
Thanks for joining and for making me want to brave the creepy waters of Leave the World Behind!
