What If a Links Round-Up, But on Tuesday?

Happy Tuesday, friends! I have kept meaning to post this dumb thing on a Friday, then forgetting about it, then getting distracted, then feeling too guilty about not having done it to do it, and then pushing the whole thing off to next week. No more! I’m just posting it on a Tuesday, a perfectly cromulent day to read links. ENJOY. Uh-oh. The Millions and Lithub both have their big second-half-of-the-year book previews.

A Links Round-Up for the Long Weekend

If you are in America, I hope that you have today off in which to read plenty of awesome things, and a quiet weekend where people for God’s sake get their act together and stop shooting off every single firework. I plan to read a bunch of nonsense and hopefully write a book review post for Monday. I probably remember how to write posts of this kind. And maybe I will do something pretend-productive like enter old reviews into Storygraph. Relatedly, I’m on Storygraph! Follow me! “At your best, a companion. At your worst, a danger.” Linda Holmes examines white/black…
