We’re officially in the middle of another workweek – and also in the midst of Simplify Your Life Week, a time to embrace minimalism and focus on what truly matters. That said, let’s be clear: we’re not suggesting you give up your books. Some things are just essential.
Today, there are more than 20 new releases hitting shelves, including highlights from Daisy Landish, Ellen Jacobson, and Sarah Everly. Let’s get to it!
Sketching a Softer Nora by Daisy Landish is the fourth book in her “Timeline Retreats” rom-com series.
