I have Africa’s book on my wishlist! I’m almost done with Tanmeet Sethi’s book “Joy is My Justice” which you might find interesting. She was a delightful keynote speaker for me this year!

Anyone who hates Emily Henry is living in a sad existence.

Love your recs! Will definitely try Ruby Warrington. Like you, I’m also an author (announcement coming soon!) and a woman who has felt lonely for not wanting kids. 🖤

Thanks for the recs, Amy! My friend just gave me Women Living Deliciously, and I am so excited to dive in. I've recently gotten back into listening to podcasts again and have been enjoying listening to a mixed bag of hosts and guests - so I'm keen to get into some of these you've recommended.

As for movies, I have to say the best one I've watched this year is Bank of Dave (currently on Netflix). Based on a true story about a guy who applied to open a bank to help his local community, north of London, on a larger and more meaningful scale. Heartwarming, funny and truth-telling. Loved it!

TV - of course, I rewatched Ted Lasso (my ultimate comfort show) for the 4th or maybe 6th time. I rewatched The Good Place which was even better this time around, and The Gentlemen series which is so well shot and supremely witty. I also really enjoyed A Man on the Inside (on Netflix) with Ted Danson about a widower who goes undercover in an aged care facility. So well written, funny, and made me cry (in a good way)! Definitely recommend.

Ooh I’m excited to dig into some of these. I’ve been wanting to read Africa Brooke’s book—I need to move it up on my list. I love that you discovered Emily Henry this year. She is my FAVORITE. Such deep-feeling books while still managing to stay light and funny…so good.
