Eid Mubarak! The spring weather is finally sticking around and starting to crack all our shells here in NYC, and it’s a tide lifting all boats. It’s the weather for catching up, and there’s nothing more perfect than walking a mile or two with a friend, with a stop for a coffee or to poke around a bookstore. The people you miss are only ever a message away.

In the meantime, if you missed any of the happenings around book world this week, here are a few Venns to catch you up. Hope you have a restful weekend. See you back here on Monday.
