Grub Street said it best: “[Ina Garten] has read the room, and what the room needs, she has decided, is a giant, neon-pink pitcher of Cosmopolitans, for one, preferably gulped down well before noon.”

Here’s what you missed this week:

• Do: bond with your roomies over a jigsaw or watercolor set. Don’t: play with candles. (LitHub)
• Shakespeare–he’s just like the rest of us. (The New Yorker)
• The case for books and book clubs in these strange times…again (NYT)
• New releases, but make it fashion. (Garage)
• Have book, will travel. (NYT)

Cheers,
