Alexis Lynch reads more books in a year than most people read in a decade, and in this episode, she brings her full 2026 summer reading list for women over 40. We discuss three picks, updated tips for actually reading more when life is full, and a deep-dive conversation about Heart the Lover by Lily King that is so good we can hardly stand it.

We met in preschool. Now we’re in perimenopause. And somehow, my oldest friend Alexis Lynch is reading six books a month while running her own law firm, parenting an 8-year-old, and doing alllll the things.

In this week’s episode, Alexis shares how she reignited her love of reading in the middle of all the midlife madness—and how you can too. She also shares her summer reading list curated just for YOU.
