Having People Over: A Modern Guide to Planning, Throwing, and Attending Every Type of Party
Format: 📖 Book
Overall impression:
Part manual, part reflective memoir, a good book to go through and think about how to have people over, how to be a good guest, and what the whole point is (see “The Long Game” chapter)
I want us to create homes we love and then welcome people into them, because that’s something we can enjoy at any age… To be a guest in such a home is to experience those simultaneous joys of familiarity and newness, the warmth of being welcomed with frisson and surprise.
