Read, Click, Swipe, Buy
From my open tabs to your inbox.
I don’t know about you, but I’m big on tabs. Throughout the week, I bookmark, scan, read, watch and shop (of course) a huge array of content on a weekly basis. Call it an occupational hazard, but I’ve come to realize: I live my life according to tabs, kinda. That’s why every Friday I’ll be sharing a quick recap of clicks to check out ranging from must-know book/culture news to lit-adjacent content and other online things.
