It’s Friday, friends, and you know what that means… let’s talk about what we’re reading!
It thought it might be fun to expand this Friday essay to include links to articles I found interesting this week, like my old Sunday Smatterings offerings. So look for a few extras from now on.
As we speak, I have two books going.
Lisa Jewell’s latest, NONE OF THIS IS TRUE, has everyone talking, and for good reason.
And there’s a new offering coming from my buddy Boyd Morrison, THE LAST TRUE TEMPLAR. This series is really cool, a medieval adventure with a noble knight and his lady love. Boyd and his sister Beth do a ton of research, and I highly recommend them.
I was fascinated byThe Squid Hunter by David Grann, recommended by my friend Cal Newport on his podcast. This kind of long-form journalism is so cool.
Speaking of Cal, he has a new, updated version of his Time Block Planner that I am in love with.
When I want to escape next,this is what I’m going to look for.
So how about you? What are you reading this weekend?

Just finished 'The Serpent & The Wings of Night' by Carissa Broadbent last night, (at 2 AM 😅 ) and I'm totally hooked! LOVED it.
I actually just published my review on Goodreads & my Blog a few minutes ago. This weekend I will be diving into book two - 'The Ashes and the Star-Cursed King.'
Late to comment due to a quick trip to visit my parents, but on the plane there and back, I read Karin Slaughter's AFTER THAT NIGHT. I've followed the Will Trent series from the beginning and loved this one too. I'm also loving the television show of it.
I'm on a Katherine Center kick and I read 2 of her books this week.
How to Walk Away, which was very good.
Also read Everyone is Beautiful. It was good, but not my favorite book of hers.
The hear in the Midwest was supposed to relent today...but instead they extended the excessive heat warning through tonight...ugg
