But as you're imagining what literary joys could await you this summer, the magazine style can be a really fun way to dip in.
And since 2020, I mean, we've had loose themes for a while, but
Book camp in 2024 was the first year where we leaned hard into a theme.
Last year's was road trip.
This year's is reading retreats.
And we thought that would be such a lovely theme for right now.
Ginger, you want to say more?
Oh, and you know, you may hear us say words like peace and calm, but I want you to know that is adamantly not code for boring.
We are talking about a really energetic kind of entry into a space that you couldn't be happier to be in, but that is...
anti-frantic, not frenetic in any way, no FOMO allowed.
What we're looking for is to cultivate vibes that feel really warm and supportive and enthusiastic and abundant.
And our desire with our reading retreats and our reading guide magazine is to come alongside you and help you discover good books that let you escape into the
Peaceful new worlds?
But let you escape into interesting new worlds that you want to be in and also enrich your life in meaningful ways.
Like we are big nerds.
Like you are going to go places and learn things with the books in this year's summer reading guide, but like on your terms and you can choose how nerdy or escapist you wish to be.
And like, it's modern Mrs. Darcy, what should I read next?
We believe in nerdy escapism, but we just really want to help you craft a season full of abundance, ease and joy, whatever it is that you want in your summer.
And also one that puts a heaping helping of potential four and five star books on your readerly horizons.
