Dear Sunday Letter readers,
We spent the 4th of July weekend in Austin with our daughter and son-in-law. We’ve not done much traveling since the pandemic, and it was marvelous to get away.

With my book reviews for June 2021, we are officially well into the season of summer reading. Do you choose books based on the time of year? During summer, I may choose something lighter (especially if I’m on vacation), but mostly I keep whittling away at my to-read stack.
My book reviews for June 2021 include six completely different books—two debuts from new authors, two from authors I love, and two books from experienced authors who are new to me. I hope you find at least one to add to your summer reading book pile.
