Okay, September is officially the start of fall, the season of cozy and we’ve got the shoppies! We’re ready to transition into an intentional slow down. This month’s picks come from more than one desk on the team and they range from the staple wardrobe pieces, the most thoughtful gift basket you can get, and as always…things to heighten your reading ritual. A quick note: we may earn a commission when you shop through the links below. We only share what the team uses and loves.

Liane reveals hidden book easter eggs, why she finally broke her "no sequels" rule, her post-writing rituals, and so much more!

This month’s Book Club Live is an extra special one — and thanks to our friends at Apple Books, we’re unlocking this full conversation for free as a gift to our entire community! Our September Book Club pick, Big Little Truthsby Liane Moriarty, is the sequel to Big Little Lies (starring our book-lover-in-chief, Reese Witherspoon, in the TV series adaptation). Ten years later, we catch up with the women as they navigate teenage kids, new drama, and old secrets threatening to resurface.

Dear Reader, Raise a steaming coffee mug, crisp sparkling cider, or pumpkin-themed bookmark to National Literacy Month! In a moment when reading is rumored to be declining, now is the time to shout from the rooftops about the authors you can’t get enough of, anticipated upcoming releases, and of course, the classics. On that note, we’ve been noodling on what makes a title a classic. How do certain novels or series transcend time and stake claim to the literary canon?

We can’t stop reminiscing about our summer at Under Canvas with World of Hyatt! Thankfully, reading retreats are evergreen and we’re even more excited to snuggle up in the woods for a fall escape.
