84. READ.LOOK.THINK.

READ: “I suppose I’m admitting that those people who call young-adult readers “childish” are onto something. It’s just not the pure desire for regression they pompously diagnose. It’s a desire for stories substantial enough to withstand the ages…” | What romance really is. | On turning 30. | “We have a saying in the Alexander Technique: the opposite of wrong is also, sometimes, wrong.” | On the art of rejection. | Seizure’s ALT TXT: “the writing’s presence as a somewhat archaic medium when you could be trawling Reddit for something way more instantly gratifying.” | I blogged: What no one tells you about motherhood (Sunday is now five months old.)

LOOK: A story, weather permitting. | Rhea Thierstein, Tim Walker’s set designer and prop stylist. | Beautiful plant-filled loft. | The home of French stylist Aurélie Lécuyer, her blog Le Dans La. | Standard Moves.
