It’s almost here! The day of my dreams! Book launch day! I can’t believe it. I never really believed it was real but now I have the book in my hands and it’s ordered on Amazon so I guess it’s legit.
I also can’t believe that I’m going on a real life book tour! We kick off on Monday, if I’m going to be in your city I hope you’ll come by!
Enough with the shameless self promotion. Here’s how you should spend your time while you’re waiting for my book to land on your doorstep:
Watch
A Small Light (NatGeo/Disney +)- I had no idea that Nat Geo made dramas but after watching this one, they should make a lot more. We all know the story of Anne Frank but watching a series about the heroic Miep Gies and the community of Dutch resisters is deeply moving and should be required viewing.
Mask Girl (Netflix)- Another Korean drama making headlines. They’ve really got the magic potion in Seoul! Mask Girl is thrilling in the first half and completely changes tone in the second half in a way that I didn’t love but it’s incredibly creative and also uses the incredibly high rates of plastic surgery in Korea (1 in 3 women!) as an interesting plot device.
Dungeons & Dragons (Peacock)- Chris Pine! Chris Pine in pants! Chris Pine in pants playing the lute! This was a really fun movie about Chris Pine and some of his friends. I recommend it for a night when you don’t feel like watching a show about Nazis.
Listen
WTF with Marc Maron- William Shatner- Marc Maron is the only person who truly understands me. I love WTF and this interview with William Shatner is one of the best. Shat is an extremely active 92 year old and he will not leave your podcast until he has told you about every single thing he is doing. This is a hilarious coupling. Would 100% watch a Maron/Shatner buddy cop movie.
Nature At Play- Yo-Yo Ma- YYM playing Cello Suite No. 1 in the Great Smoky Mountains. Best word soup ever?
Hercules- NEVER FORGET THE GREATEST DISNEY SOUNDTRACK OF ALL TIME. Put it back in your rotation.
