**READING |* Bad Tourists *by Caro Carver: **Author Caro Carver [says](https://people.com/bad-tourists-author-caro-carver-female-rage-exclusive-8673490) that the characters in her novel *Bad Tourists* are "fundamentally all about steering the narrative, [using their own voice](https://www.amazon.com/Bad-Tourists-Novel-Caro-Carver-ebook/dp/B0CL5F5K91)." And with the novel set in the Maldives, it's perfect for a summer beach read!

**WATCHING | *Presumed Innocent *on Apple TV+: **Per *Variety*, [this new series](https://tv.apple.com/us/show/presumed-innocent/umc.cmc.5hnqrhwtzt3esr7rb1wq2ppvn) starring starring Jake Gyllenhaal [is](https://variety.com/2024/tv/reviews/presumed-innocent-review-jake-gyllenhaal-1236028766/) "one of the best legal thrillers to arrive on television in years."

**LISTENING TO | *Suffs* (the Broadway musical) original soundtrack: *Suffs *the musical is about the American women's suffrage movement, centering on suffragists like Alice Paul, Lucy Burns, Ida B. Wells, and Carrie Chapman Catt. It opened on Broadway in April with [songs like](https://open.spotify.com/album/1R6nRTL81nROSLVJo2PDnl) "Let Mother Vote," "Wait My Turn," and "August 26th, 1920."**

**EXCITED FOR | The next round of WPLN Fellows! **We will soon announce the third cohort of our WPLN Fellowships, and we're excited to welcome them to the team!
