EDITOR'S NOTE

I’m late to the party, but I spent last night binge-reading Abby Jimenez’s Part of Your World on my Kindle. I didn’t think I’d be a Kindle convert, but now I can’t get enough of the built-in reading light and large font size. ICYMI, decking out e-readers is also having a moment. One Skimm’r reminded me of this incredible woman-founded Kindle accessory brand called Page the Shop. The founder partners with other creators to release colorful cases. I can attest that the quality is worth the price, so check it out.

PS: If you’re looking for more fast-paced, bingeable romances, take a look at this list.

If you have yet to try Prequel, the affordable skincare brand from Dr. Samantha Ellis, what are you doing? Our editors are loving it for its effective, high-quality skincare that doesn’t cost hundreds of dollars. Their latest launch is this $18 face and body stick, which is formulated with silicone, onion bulb ferment, centella asiatica triterpenoids, and bisabolol — all ingredients we can’t pronounce but that work together to improve discoloration and your skin’s texture. Generously swipe it on clean, dry skin and massage in. If used consistently, you could see results in up to 12 weeks.
