Friday Mood Recs: The best sweaters of 2024 (so far)

Because I have no book recommendations left in me

Before we get going, this is a quick reminder that my back-to-school sale is still happening and will be ongoing until the Fall Fiction Compendium releases. New subscribers can get 20% off annual subscriptions to FictionMatters from now until September 15th. That’s just $40 for the Fall Fiction Compendium, The Paperback Summer Reading Guide, weekly paid posts for subscribers, bi-monthly podcasts, and the entire back catalog of FictionMatters newsletters!

Hey readers!

When I launched the Friday Mood Recs portion of my newsletter for paid subscribers, I said that while I would mostly be sharing book recommendations here, I would occasionally offer roundups of other recommendations that fit my mood. One full year later—since I’ll have soooo many book recommendations heading your way on Sunday!!—I’m finally making that happen and sharing a roundup of my favorite sweaters of the season.

I don’t have a the world’s best aesthetic eye and I don’t always keep up with trends, but if there are two things I pride myself on having pretty good taste in, it’s books and sweaters. To celebrate the return of crisp morning air, I’ve rounded up the best sweaters of 2024 (so far). Most of these aren’t new styles—they’re items I already have in my closet and wear frequently. I’ve also included a few things I have my eye on and a recent addition to my rotation.

I’ll be back to books next week and for the foreseeable future, but it feels nice to have some fun and share other things every now and then!
