Caitlin! Been a fan of your newsletter for years. Your curations inspired my newsletter, so I'm pinching myself right now.

Have you read One Italian Summer by Rebecca Serle? I just finished it and while I haven't read Expiration Dates yet, I'm sensing a little trend - she likes a slightly magical element.

This is so serendipitous! I'm currently reading the Twiford Code (started thursday, so still early in the game) but liking it so far and I just looked up the Alperton Angels and it's from the same author!! Added to my TBR!

The 'more parm' vid! 😂 Those reading guides are EPIC...love the one where you can flip the pages and it's categorized and the pages make little noises...how cute ! ♥ I also feel like everyone loves Funny Story so I'm def gonna pick that one up.

That's the best possible compliment! - Heavyweights, Now and Then and The Sandlot raised me :) - I think those movies drove me to get an American husband.

Oh totally. All of these flics are now raising my children, along with A League of Their Own. My 3-year-old does a great impression of the bus driver being weirded out by Jimmy Dugan. 😂

Those summer reading guides have kept me busy putting books on my TBR list and my library holds list all weekend! I don't have enough time for the amount of books coming out this summer that I'm dying to read.
