Q1 Recap: Books, Movies, and General Stuff

Thanks for joining me on a very special solo ep covering and reviewing the (very few) books I read — or, wished I hadn’t read — in Q1 of 2025. Plus a few reflections on DNFing, reading, learning, culture and how I’m staying sane in times of chaos. Enjoy!

Books mentioned:

Long Island by Colm Toibin

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind

For Small Creatures Such as We by Sasha Sagan

Girls With Long Shadows by Tennessee Hill
