Hey friends!
It’s the message request that’s been in your Instagram DMs for a few weeks cause you can’t tell if it’s a scam or not, Sam Cote, here with this week’s Weekly Favorites!
What I’m Reading: You guessed it– The Titan’s Curse. My goal for the rest of the week is to get to the halfway point. I’m around 30% at the moment. I might employ the tandem reading method I’ve used in weeks past, though I already have an audiobook going. We’ll see– any and all encouragement is appreciated 🙂
What I’m Listening To: I’m still listening to Ring Shout by P. Djeli Clark. Still finding it both imaginitively and intellectually engaging! I’m around 70% though so far.
What I’m Watching: Caught up on Rings of Power and still one episode behind on House of the Dragon. Still liking them both, though I’m finding that I’m enjoying sitting down to watch Rings of Power more. I also watched Arrival (2016) for the first time for my SciFi/Anthropology class– the links to anthropology are strong and even explicitly stated in the film. Language plays a large role in the movie, and the main character is a linguistics professor. Really enjoyed it and it’s a film I’d love to watch again in the future!
What I’m Making: D&D preparations! I kinda botched our session 0– I was unprepared and had to do a lot of fixing after the fact– mostly figuring out character stats and abilities. That’s almost all sorted now, and planning to be more prepared for session 1!
How I Slow Down & Unplug: I guess this doesn’t count as unplugging, but watching the fantasy TV shows when I have downtime has been quite enjoyable! Nothing like a good story to help me relax.
