Hey friends!
It’s the really good box you can’t bear to throw away, Sam Cote, here with another Weekly favorites (comin’ atcha in the evening this time!)
What I’m Reading: I’m continuing Mort by Terry Pratchett, from the series Discworld. I’m loving it and almost at the halfway point. It feels like a nice break from the real world whenever I pick it up, and I find myself underlining every witty line or creative metaphor– which is to say: every line.
What I’m Listening To: I’m listening to the audiobook of The Battle of the Labyrinth, but I couldn’t renew it on Libby. I ended up coughing up the credit to get it on Audible, but since I was over halfway through when I got it, I have hope that I’ll be able to return it and get my credit back when I’m done.
What I’m Watching: Hailey and I are watching Over the Garden Wall. I’d heard of it before, and that a lot of people really like it– I’m glad we took it up! It’s both cozy and slightly creepy, and it feels like there’s a lot to unpack in each episode, as if I could analyze them all in-depth if I wanted. It feels like high quality storytelling. I also heard its a retelling of Dante’s Inferno which I think is wicked cool.
What I’m Making: Fewer TikToks than ever! Between YouTube and NaNoWriMo, it just hasn’t been a priority for me this week– I’ve been feeling much more fulfilled by the longer term projects that these media represent for me. I’ll definitely keep doing TikTok, but forcing it on top of everything else would make them all suffer.
How I Slow Down & Unplug: Mort before bed has been lovely 🙂
