What a beautiful year you had! Thank you for sharing. I'm glad you are here!

Also, I LOVE laying on the floor. It confuses the hell out of husbo but I'm like, just leave me be. So grounding, so good!

I just bought Our Share of Night! Can’t wait to read your review.

Reading goals for this year...to read the piles of books I bought last year. To read instead of scrolling. To read at lunchtime. To read at night. That’s it! Happy New Year!

You’ll have to let me know your thoughts too! I’ve heard great things so I’m excited for it. Those are very good goals (especially read instead of scrolling) happy new year to you too! <3

Crosswords? Check. Not finishing bad books? Check. This article? Double check.

My reading goal this year is the complete works of Plato and more guilty pleasure reading like old Conan comics.

Guilty pleasure reading is always the best reading! & isn’t completing a crossword just so satisfying?

How does a Jew get to Heaven from dry humping the Wailing Wall like Miley Cyrus?

Enquiring minds would like to know, so let’s ask Brother Nathaniel:

Jews go to the Wailing Wall and thrust their hips to imitate having intercourse with their “shekinah” (a female demon) while praying to their devil . . . at an old Roman fortress called Antonia . . .

1. ALMOST FAMOUS is my Roman Empire film (one of them I guess, top five at least).

2. As a child, I used to lay on the warm concrete after swimming. Since that isn’t an option anymore I’m gonna lay on the floor.

3. Goal for 2024: Read what I want to read, not what I think makes a good newsletter. People can tell when it’s forced.

Absolutely love that goal!! Almost Famous is certainly top 5 for me, it’s truly a perfect movie in my eyes! I think we all laid on the floor (or concrete) as a child maybe that’s why we love doing it as adults hahah either way its lovely

I definitely need to start writing letters to my future self!

Expand full comment

It’s truly so much fun!! I always forget that I sent them and then it’s a nice surprise & you get to look back on what you were thinking previous months & years!

Thanks for all these great ideas, Hannah. Sending letters to yourself sounds interesting. I had an idea of doing something slightly similar, but on the inside cover of the books I read and noting where my life was when I was reading them. However, couldn’t bring myself to scribble anything on my books so never got around to it 😁

Also, Almost Famous is a great movie. You’ve reminded me I’ll need to watch it again soon 👍🏼

Oh I love the book idea!! But definitely would be too hard to write in them. I love doing it through that site because I always forget I sent them & it’s a fun surprise. I’m glad someone appreciates that movie, it’s an all time favorite of mine! Thank you for reading!
