Welcome to August! The last third of summer begins, but there’s still plenty of time to finish reading that long book you’ve been working through and plenty of time to squeeze in one last trip to the ocean/lake/river/creek/body of water of your choice. Did you catch all the long list and political memoir announcements this week? Let’s Venn about it.

Hope your month gets off to an appropriately majestic start this weekend!
