And just because I've read a book does not mean you will love it as well.

But in the guide and that unboxing, I try to be real specific about what my reading experience was like.

Not to tell you what yours will be like or that you should want that experience, but to help you wrap your head around.

Is this, I mean, is this a train I want to get on this summer?

If I only have so much reading time at my disposal, how do I want to use it?

And do I want this book to be in the mix?

And if you have questions, like people will say things like, well, you know,

I'm not feeling really sweary this summer.

Can you guide me in that direction?

Or I need a book that's going to leave me in a hopeful space and I'm thinking about X title.

Is it a good fit?

I can answer those questions because I've read them all.

Ginger, what would you add to that?

We hear that.

Also something that's unique about our guide is since 2019, shout out to Katie who designed our first one, we've done a beautiful user-friendly magazine style that you can print the whole thing if you want, you can mark it up.

But it's just a really fun way to engage with something that a lot of people really enjoy and look forward to every year.

And that is their

summer reading.

Oh, what's a word that I can use that's not curriculum?

Because that sounds a little too much like school.
