Things I've been thinking about: 
When a rash of sensational museum robberies stunned Europe, police zeroed in on a fearsome crime family—and a flashy new generation of young outlaws. Joshua Hammer unravels the case of a billion-dollar jewel heist and the race to catch a brutally audacious band of thieves.
With 30 million followers, killer abs, and a high-profile social media relationship, the 20-year-old soccer player is on the cutting edge of American fame.
"While searching for the person who grifted me in Chicago, I discovered just how easy it is for users of the short-term rental platform to get exploited."
Watching:
Mother Musgraves is spoiling the girls, the gays, and the theys with not only a new album but also a new film - both coming September 10. I've decided to call the film "Country Time Lemonade" which I'm honestly very proud of. Check out the trailer for a sneak peek into the very Romeo + Juliet world filled with lots of celebrity cameos. PAWS UP, MUSKRATS!
(Still) Reading:
Click through or reference last week's issue for a synopsis. So far, I am loving this book! I know I am late to the Taylor Jenkins Reid/Daisy Jones and The Six party but I'll definitely be picking it up now.
Reading (Next):
Vietnam veteran, retired racehorse jockey, and keeper of secrets, Anse Caulfield rescues exotic big cats, elephants, and other creatures for Little Eden, a wildlife sanctuary near the abandoned ruins of a failed development on the Georgia coast. But when Anse’s prized lion escapes and is killed, he becomes obsessed with replacing her—even if the means of rescue aren’t exactly legal.

From an ancient crocodile scarred by forced combat with other animals, a panther caged in a yard, a rare tiger destined to be harvested for its glands, a lion kept as a tourist attraction at a gas station, to a pack of wolves being raised on a remote private island off the coast, Anse and his team battle an underworld of smugglers, gamblers, breeders, trophy hunters, and others who exploit exotic game.

A little bit of this, a little bit of that, and a lot of everything. Enjoy!

It me. I'm Collin. Shockingly, I hate talking about myself but here are the CliffsNotes. 32, Texan turned cruise ship character turned Texan turned Chicagoan turned Texan. Event designer and planner. Interior designer and stylist. Corporate badass. Spotify playlist-makin' fiend. Fiancé and double dog dad. Cursed with an aggressive gluten intolerance but also a passion for bread and no f*cks to give. Why a newsletter? It gives me a creative outlet with a deadline and my therapist says these things are important. Plus, I love to read, shop, share, and most importantly spend time on the internet. I don't sleep.
