“Dear PoPville,
I’ve lived in DC for about 7 years now and have struggled with the intellectual book clubs of our uber-smart city. So here I go starting my own! This book club is designed for escapist popular fiction–think Reese’s book club, mystery/psychological thrillers, page turners that make you forget about the terrible day you had at work but also don’t require you to use your brain too much.
Below is a starter schedule,
but I’m hoping there’s enough demand to can take suggestions down the line.
May 16th @6:30pm- First Lie Wins, Ashley Elston
June 13th@6:30pm- One of the Good Guys, Araminta Hall
July 18th @6:30pm- The Housemaid, Freida McFadden
August 29th@6:30pm- Yellowface, R. F. Kuang
The first meeting will be here in Adams Morgan with snacks and drinks!
Send me an email using [email protected] if you have questions and/or would like to join!”

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
