Things I Read This Week

So, another week, another list of things I read. There are a few pieces I was saving to read this week, but then I died twice, which cut into my reading time. Nevertheless, I did manage to read some stuff.

On the Web:

The comments section is all about bridal showers so I’m posting this so one of you adds me to that wedding shaming group on facebook

This story is bonkers, but I am so unsatisfied by the ending

Widows comes out this weekend and I cannot wait to see it. Viola Davis AND Gillian Flynn? I’m so hype! (Gillian Flynn isn’t *in* the movie, she co-wrote it)

My friend Lauren wrote this, but that’s not the only reason you should read it (and then see the movie she’s writing about)

DEREK!

Look, I started a trend!

For anyone who knows me, knows that my musical taste runs in the more Janet, New Edition, Prince direction, but as a 90s teen I will always harbour a love for Nirvana because that shit you love at 13 just seeps into your bones for life

So, I can’t stop talking about The Good Place and that entire cast is just charming af, but this is gross and I hate it (I don’t hate it, I love it so much)

I’m going to go home and listen to the Love Jones soundtrack now

And I can’t wait for The Crown to come back

But in the meantime, I will daydream about the high stake world of auctions and how we need a movie about Sue the TRex

On the Shelf:

I’m still reading The Mermaid and Mrs. Handock because I cannot read it quickly. The language is so lush and dreamy and the characters are so cinematic I keep stopping to just imagine what this world looks like and that takes up a lot of my reading time. I’m hopeless. 

During a two hour-ish outage when my cable AND internet went out (I KNOW) I made a bigger dent in Crazy, Rich Asians, but I couldn’t really concentrate because I was dying and also mad that the cable went out while I was in the middle of a season 2 episode of The Simpsons.

So anyway, that’s it for this week. I would’ve had my podcast post up earlier, but then I added a whole bunch of new ones, so I’ve still got to do some detail work on that, but otherwise, until next week!
