Reading Room: My Top Picks for May
May 2026 Monthly Digest Plus Top 5 Posts
Dear Reader,
Life is busy. I know that. When we open our emails from our favorite subscriptions and find articles that pique our interest, we set them aside to read later and ultimately forget about them. I do this all the time.
To help you, or remind you of articles you may have forgotten to read or missed altogether, I’m starting a monthly digest. At the end of each month, you will receive a newsletter listing the articles from that month.
Simple. I hope it helps. You will find future monthly digests in the Reading Room on the website menu.
You can also browse my entire library to read all of the articles from the very beginning of this newsletter.
