Weekend Reading, 3.22.25 – The Stripe

Good morning. I hope you’re having a cozy day. Last week (I documented a “week in my life” on Substack) was more social, whereas this was quieter. I have been absolutely loving this book and have just wanted to be home reading. There were a lot of early bedtimes—my favorite! Whatever you are up to, I hope it’s great. Enjoy this week’s links. xo
