Issue 68: I really want to be talking to you about 'All Fours' but I am sending you postcards from Athens instead
Please read this book so we can dissect it for real
My plan for today was to fly from Sofia to Athens, check into our little hotel, grab coffee and then come here to write to you about Miranda July’s All Fours - July’s second novel that has the entire universe of 40-something year old women IN OUR FEELINGS.
But this city is BEYOND my wildest expectations. So instead of book talk, here are a couple of snaps from today. My heart is full and I am really trying to enjoy it.
In the meantime, you guys go out there and READ THIS BOOK with me and you and everyone we know. And we will have a REAL chat about it because… y’all… it is DOING things with me. I am low-key considering hosting a Zoom Call about it in a couple of weeks. Please let me know if you would be interested in participating!

If you have any bookish recommendations for Athens (we are leaving for the island of Naxos tomorrow but will be back here for a few more days next week) - bookstores, cool cafes, places to see, etc… please share!
Last but not least, a very special welcome to all the book friends who have joined us here in the last few weeks thanks to , and ’s generous mentions. I’m sure you have gathered that I am traveling this month and a little out of sorts - but I am so, so grateful that you are here. Stay tuned for actual book talk SOON and PLEASE say hi in the comments or on chat! I would love to get to know you!
P.S. Paid subscribers, please check out the chat for a little special something from me! 🤓📚❤️
Athens looks magical, that light! 😍
I’m 423rd in line for “All Fours” at the library so maybe I’ll read it next year. 😝
