I feel like shows (and movies) have only just started to get good again after lockdown. Shown through me watching a slightly excessive amount of TV in March! I feel like it’s almost time for my annual rewatch of Jane the virgin. I have a rule that I can only watch it when cherry blossoms have bloomed and it’s warm + sunny out. It’s a very fun tradition and I would highly recommend doing something similar (even if it’s a movie)

Ooh, very fun! My seasonal ritual is soft serve. Soft serve season begins when we've had three warm days in a row and ends when temps consistently drop below 60. During that time frame I eat at least one a week, always a vanilla cone with sprinkles.

Saw Tokyo Vice pop up on my feed a few times now but your review sold me! Definitely going to watch it! Do you recommend reading the book as well?

And congrats on the 10,000 copies! That's incredible!

Saw this story: https://www.bustle.com/wellness/sunshine-guilt-tiktok all about the feeling of feeling bad about not wanting to be your most productive self just bc the sun is out…so related to that as a rot in bed type of girl myself so wanted to share this

Huge huge congrats on 10,000 copies AND being called cool by someone under 18 - both carry equal honour, period Barbie!!

I’ve been interested in The Sullivianians book for a while but have heard lots of times it’s too long lol. Maybe I’ll give it a go anyway bc like you I love a cult. Also been dying to read Erasure.

I snorted at your comments about everyone in Birnam wood being vapid and self obsessed bc I’m reading BW rn and lmao you’ve hit the nail on the head.

And finally - I can’t wait for you to watch season 2 of the UK Traitors. Tembe it is outrageous and soooo much better than season 2. When the final streamed in Jan on the TV we were all shouting. I’ve not been invested in a show like that for ages. Something for you to look forward too xx

Thank you!! And MARTHA. SEASON TWO WAS CRAZY. I was screaming at the TV. But lowkey I wasn't mad at it. Can't wait for final thoughts on BW when you publish your month-end wrap up. Speaking of cult things have you been watching The Synanon Fix?

YESSS Tembe I’m so glad you loved it. Season two was the BEST. I wasn’t mad at it either - he deserved to win all of it!!! He played such a good game. That last ep was nail biting - poor Molly honestly. Harry had such a good poker face, when she asked him if he was a traitor and he said no we were YELLING. Waiting for her to find out was too much. Absolutely iconic though. And I haven’t - this is the first I’ve heard of it?!? Is it good?!?! If it is I’ll be all over it because I need a new watch.
