What To Read If

Where book lovers find their next great read.

What To Read If is a weekly newsletter full of book recommendations. Elizabeth Held handpicks book titles that reflect the news of the day, pop culture, and her own whims. With an aim to help people find books they actually want to read, she goes beyond the bestselling book lists to highlight diverse writers and genres. All the issues consist of three book recs and are extensions of “What to read if…” - if you're bingeing holiday RomComs, if you’re obsessed with Wordle, or if you just want some good books. The recommendations include Elizabeth’s original thoughts providing context to the topic and explaining the plot of the book. 

P.S. If you’d like a personalized recommendation, just reach out by replying to the welcome email or on substack and get a custom one depending on what other books/movies you like or just on what you're in the mood for. Just subscribe and find your next great read!
