Whether you’re diving into a novel or flipping through your favorite magazine, having a cozy spot to unwind makes all the difference. This summer, curate a reading nook that’s just as serene as is stylish. From fluffy loungers to breezy swings, here are the essentials you need to turn any corner—indoors or out—into your new favorite spot.
Who says adulting can’t be cushy? This oversized, fluffy floor lounger is pure lounge luxury. Perfect for that fireside daydream or an afternoon lost in your favorite paperback.
Add a boho swing to your indoor or outdoor space. This cotton rope mesh chair with tassels turns any nook into a breezy book retreat. We especially love it for reading by the poolside.
Stretch out with a classic hammock designed for two—but totally worth it solo. Great for reading, but also for your park-your-book-and-doze-off moments.
"SecUnit has told Senior Indah it is open to further work, but only if the work is really weird. When a research transport from an unfamiliar non-corporate political entity called Trellin arrives at Preservation Station and starts throwing strange errors within seconds of contact, SecUnit is tasked with figuring out what the hell is wrong with that ship. (A lot. A lot is wrong with that ship. One, it’s not ART. Two, it’s kind of an asshole anyway. Three, it has feelings. And morals. And that last one might be the worst.)
Set post-canon for Time to Orbit: Unknown, between Fugitive Telemetry and Network Effect for The Murderbot Diaries. HEAVY spoilers for TTOU - if you haven't read it and don't want to be spoilered on some very major developments near the end, you should get on the normal spaceship before reading this story. Spoilers for TMBD are lighter - mostly what position SecUnit is in between book 6 and book 5. Lighter sci-fi than TTOU, about TMBD level."
"SecUnit?" Mensah repeated. "Yes, Ca—" Captain? "Yes, Dr. Mensah." She narrowed her eyes at me. "Are you all right?" She asked. "I–" I didn't know. Why was she asking me that? And why didn't I know?
Murderbot thinks it's still a danger to the team. Mensah tries to convince it otherwise.
The TMBD counterpart to Voices From The Pegasus Constellation—a collection of short stories from Preservation and PSUMNT characters other than SecUnit. Similarly to the previous such collection, characters and tags updated as stories get published.
Note that, same as before, these short stories are placed in different points of the main continuity and are best read one at a time! Links to the relevant stories are given chronologically in the main storyline.
Old-timey bathing suits are the fashion in Ceannis…but Russet is too busy looking at some kind of data to actually go in the water. (It’s probably data about the water, at least?)

Who is it for: For those who believe less is more, but more should still feel inviting. Perfect for dinner party hosts who want their space to whisper elegance rather than shout for attention, and where every meal feels like a thoughtful moment.
Budget: $-$$
Muted Harmony Dining Room – Shopping List
Below, we present a curated list of products presented on the board:
Colors that Work Together: This palette is like a gentle exhale: calming but never boring. The sage green acts as nature’s neutral, bringing serenity without the sterility of pure white. Warm wood tones ground the space, while strategic black accents provide just enough contrast to keep things interesting without disruption.
Lighting Strategy: Those sage pendant lights? They’re doing double duty as both functional task lighting and sculptural art pieces. The key is hanging them at the right height – about 30-36 inches above your table surface. This creates intimate pools of light perfect for both family dinners and dinner parties.
Furniture Foundation: The natural wood dining table is the room’s anchor – substantial enough to feel permanent but simple enough to never go out of style. When choosing dining chairs, look for pieces that blend comfort with clean lines. The built-in banquette seating maximizes space while maintaining the streamlined aesthetic.
Storage Solutions: That fluted sideboard isn’t just beautiful – it’s incredibly practical. The vertical ridges add texture and visual interest while hiding away dining essentials. Think of it as jewellery for your dining room that happens to store your good china.
Art and Accessories: The monochrome abstract piece proves that wall art doesn’t need color to make an impact. Black and white photography or simple line drawings work beautifully in this palette. Keep accessories minimal but meaningful—a single ceramic vase, a small plant, perhaps a beautiful bowl.
Flooring and Textiles: Layered rugs create depth and warmth underfoot. The neutral tones ensure they’ll work as your style evolves, while the varied textures prevent the space from feeling flat. Think of rugs as the room’s foundation garments—invisible but essential.
The Mirror Moment: That large mirror isn’t just decorative – it’s also architectural. Positioned strategically, it reflects natural light and makes the space feel larger and brighter. In a minimalist room, every piece needs to earn its place, and mirrors are multitasking champions.
The Final Note: of restraint. This isn’t minimalism that feels cold – it’s minimalism that feels intentional and warm. Every element here serves a purpose while contributing to the overall sense of calm sophistication.

“Oh, little girl, has your brother told you how much he owes me? Do you really believe yourself to be worth that many credits?” Dryden asked, the sharp nail on his thumb running across her cheek and jaw and sending shivers down her spine.
Still, she wouldn’t back down.
Not now.
