This month on The Ritual of Reading, we’re heading south — in spirit, at least. August brings with it a golden haze, and I’m letting it take me straight to Italy: a place of memory, language, heat, and beauty.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal literary mood board for the month — filled with rituals, reading, and sensory details that summon the spirit of la dolce vita. No travel needed. Just a love for books, summer, and slow living.

Thank you for listening — and for making reading a ritual.
