Weekly Roundup: December 18, 2020
Quote of the week:
“Writing has always been my sweetest companion, ever since I discovered it was a bridge between my overwhelming emotions and a world that didn’t seem built for them.” –Mari Andrew, Instagram
What I’m reading:
An Outsider’s Guide to Humans: What Science Taught Me About What We Do and Who We Are by Camilla Pang — will finish today
White Ivy by Susie Yang — will start today
What I’m listening to:
Notes on a Silencing: A Memoir by Lacy Crawford — just finished; so powerful
The Office of Historical Corrections by Danielle Evans –just started
Griefcast episode #93: Zoe Clark-Coates from Saying Goodbye
What I’m watching:
“The Flight Attendant” (HBO Max) — finished it; would recommend
“Murder on Middle Beach” (HBO Max) — good, even though questions loom
“Shameless” (Showtime) — final season is underway (I’ve been with this one since the beginning!)
“Couples Therapy: The COVID Special” (Showtime) — love this show
Writing news:
No big news this week. Just your usual reminders:
All the Love: Healing Your Heart and Finding Meaning After Pregnancy Loss is out on March 23 People Who Knew Me will be re-released on May 11 No Hiding in Boise will release on June 15
What I’m talking about:
Not much, honestly. I’ve been purposefully avoiding the news for the sake of my mental health. The COVID crisis is overwhelming. I’m so happy (and relieved) that vaccines are here and that healthcare workers are starting to get protection so they can keep doing their amazing jobs.
Weirdest thing I googled this week:
What is angioedema?
What I’m grateful for:
The amazing sunrises I’ve seen lately. There’s something so calming about Nature continuing to do her thing even when the world is going crazy.
