Good morning my beautiful readers,

I hope you have all had a really nice weekend. I brushed my hair, ate lots of good food, and went on one very good run (4 ish miles!).

It cracks me up that some people don’t know we have a podcast. I started it when I was 21, fresh out of college, and have kept up with it since. It spans personal development, literature, and sort of whatever I’m into in the moment. I’ve had members as guests and the occasional cool artist. I crosspost to Youtube as well so you can pick your platform.

For a few months, I’ve been putting episodes out on Fridays, but now I think I’m going to do Sundays/Mondays so you can all commute and listen or listen at your gym or whatever you do :)

Here is the latest episode (or wherever you get your podcasts)

These are the three books in the running. If I have my way, we’re reading Proust.

Just shipped a big update!

The app is more of a tool, while the the site (hotliterati.com) is where we host our community, events, blog, etc.

For example, I just read The Idiot, using a reading guide in the app and now I have a record of all of my annotations connected to the book! If I had this in college, my citations would have been so much faster (and pinker).

I tried this fizzy iced coffee. I saw it one week and came back to buy it a week later. It was like cherry soda, but it was coffee, sweetened with agave and cherry concentrate. I was a fan.

Have a great week!

On Friday, I’ll be sending out “Hotter Literati” a newsletter for Paid subscribers. This week’s issue will be “hailo’s Rules for Dating in New York.”

They are rules formatted as a timeline of the different dating phases I’ve sought out, thrived in survived, and lived to tell the tales and make this list.

ok bye!

Thank you for reading the Hot Literati Substack.
