Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! It's July!!

This week, I'm on PTO, and as always, I'm looking for good reading material on the plane ride over for my holiday. Thank goodness for the ever-vibrant and awesome Spring community; there's tons of stuff to dive into!

I may be going on a little holiday, but the next few months are going to be a ton of fun, and I'm looking forward to it. Did you know that SpringOne, in lovely Las Vegas, is just a few months away? Get your tickets now!
