This is Downtime Recs, my weekly diary for paid subscribers where I round up the reading, watching, wearing, and eating that filled my downtime that week.

Happy Friday, readers! It's the July 4th long weekend here, and between the football (still buzzing off USA vs Bosnia & Herzegovina, counting down to Monday's Belgium match) and general holiday chaos, today's a short and sweet one. If you’d like, pop into the subscriber chat—we're all sharing what we're reading this weekend and I want in on your picks.

Reminder: This is the last weekend to enjoy the 30% off subscription sale. Become a paid subscriber for less than $1 (!!) a week. This is one of the best discounts of the year, and I’d love your support if you’ve been loving the letter.

Get 30% off for 1 year

Coming up next at Downtime: A June reading recap, the new book releases I’m most excited for in July, an interview with a creative I admire, and a post with my best newsletter-writing tips to celebrate three years on Substack. If you’ve got any newsletter-specific questions for me to answer, please reply to this email or leave a comment.
