Bookmarked Moments is my weekly literary letter on Substack — a quiet companion to The Ritual of Reading.
Each article begins with something underlined or dog-eared in the margins of a book, a quote that lingers there a little longer, unfolding into reflection, memory, or mood. These are not reviews, but meditations on what it feels like to live with books — how a character’s voice carries into daily life, how a single line shifts the light of a week, how reading becomes ritual.
Here you’ll find the most recent letters gathered together through the live feed below. Think of this page as a bridge: between the immersive guides and essays of The Ritual of Reading and the more intimate pace of a weekly note.
If you’d like these letters to arrive directly in your inbox, you can subscribe to Bookmarked Moments on Substack (completely free) — and let them become part of your own reading ritual.
