Yes, yes, I know summer is not technically over, but as we head into Labor Day Weekend -- traditionally its last hurrah (*sob,* Los Angeles did not even get its first hurrah this year) -- I am curious to know what great books you read this summer! In the last few weeks, I've returned to my old habit of reading before bed, instead of doom-scrolling for like an hour and then expecting to drop off into a peaceful sleep. Guess what? Reading a book instead of staring at your phone is WAY better for your sleep hygiene! Let's see if I can keep it up. Most recently, I've read:

[*Mexican Gothic*, which I VERY much enjoyed](https://bookshop.org/a/2671/9780525620785?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). It was extremely good at distracting me from reality, and creative and creepy and fun.

[*Such a Fun Age*](https://bookshop.org/a/2671/9780525541905?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which everyone has probably already read because it was a Reese book and a big bestseller but it's -- as you might guess! -- really great. (Reese has great taste in books!)

[*Rodham*, which I thought was beautifully written and REALLY interestin](https://bookshop.org/a/2671/9780399590917?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)g and I can see how it would be divisive for people but I loved it.

And right now I'm reading [*The House of Trelawney*, which is delightful and perfect](https://bookshop.org/a/2671/9780525654919?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) if you are a person who loves books about Rich People With Problems OR descriptions of English estates which are totally falling apart -- which obviously I am both of those things.
