#75 A Slow Sunday Scroll ☕️
interesting links, interviews + book tour
For anyone new to The Hyphen newsletter: this is my ~Slow Sunday Scroll round-up~. This is a twice-monthly list of my favourite books, links, podcasts, things I’ve bought, all handpicked by me — which thousands of paid subscribers enjoy reading every other week ✨ It’s one of my most popular features and I’ve been doing a version of these lists since 2015!
In this issue below, I share my book tour programming, books I’m reading and a podcast episode I can’t stop thinking about.
