About Alisha Ramos
What is Downtime?
Downtime is a weekly newsletter about books and the people who read, write, and love them. It’s currently read by over 100,000 subscribers around the world.
Each week, I share a book recommendation, plus any extra bits I think you’ll find interesting and delightful for your downtime (like articles, podcasts, and other media). Aside from book recs, I love to share conversations with authors, creatives, and generally interesting and cool people who have distinct perspectives on their downtime and reading lives—and great book recs of their own to share.
The newsletter also features bonus recommendations, interviews, essays, and top culture picks from the week.
