lazy sunday - weekend reading for writers, creatives, and thinkers

My Sunday isn’t actually going to be all that lazy. This weekend is all about family, including a surprise grad party for one cousin and driving several hours to see my sister and her kids. I’m not complaining, of course — but I will probably need an extra hour on Monday to get some good relax-and-recharge time in.

If your weekend is a lot more relaxed than mine, though, you might be in need of some good reading. So pour yourself a second cup (coffee with too much cream for me today) and enjoy a little bit of time to yourself. That’s the point of a weekend, right?
