Reader,
Happy new year! After an instalment about consistency, I went ahead and disappeared so wow Maiko. I’m back and hope to return to weekly posts so let’s goooo.
My reading year has gotten off to a slow start. Along with everything else, if we’re being honest. I started school and that might be part of it but I’ve also logged a lot of YouTube hours so ask me anything about commentary on the latest season of Love is Blind!
Other than films (numbers greatly aided by My French Film Festival), TV, video essays, commentary, a book here and there, and podcasts, I’ve started a Discography Project. The goal is to work my way through different singers’ discographies for fun (first up: Whitney Houston) in an effort to find new favourites. I’ll post updates each week on whose discography I’ve worked my way through and some thoughts and/ or vibes that have come up.

I have finished a few books since I last wrote to you and released two videos in that time (I told you I fell off the wagon!) which you can find here and here. To catch the videos I’m working on when they’re done, subscribe to the channel if you haven’t yet!
As ever, please write back to me and tell me what books you’re reading or looking forward to reading — it’s always a great time talking about books.
Enjoy the week ahead and have a lovely time reading. Talk to you soon!
