Here’s a summer thrill: The Cracks in the Ground by Mariette Lindstein is finally out.

In case you needed permission: It’s entirely okay to spend a summer day inside, under the AC, reading a book from cover to cover, and recharging in a way you truly love.

Imagine if you got to spend the next two months inside a book. Which would you choose?

Trinity and Bryce won Love Island. Love isn’t dead, someone write these two into a romance series ASAP.

What is the ultimate "brain-off, world-off" genre for you? Drop your recommendations below, we’re all in need of some pure escapism this week.

Think back to the kid version of you who used to read for hours and hours and hours. What was that kid’s absolute favourite book? And when was the last time you let yourself read with that exact same level of wonder and whimsy?

If you had to pick your ideal slow-reading summer backdrop, which one are you choosing? [1 ] Cozy cabin in the middle of nowhere [2 ] Beach towel with a seagull friend [3] Gimme a couch, my fav mug, and a rainy evening

Hot take: the best ‘for you’ page is found inside a book you really love.

Did you know the average reader can read larger titles faster on an eReader compared to a physical book? Basically, what we’re trying to say is it isn’t too late to download the Odyssey and catch up before the movie comes out next week 👀

What’s a plot twist that genuinely made you put down your Kobo, stare at the wall in silence, and completely re-evaluate your life?
