Happy Friday! ☀️
Hello from the countryside in the French region of the Dordogne where I am back at one of my favorite spots, perfect to unwind.
What I’m reading 📖
Emma Cline’s books have been on my radar for a while but I never got a chance to read them. This vacation, I picked up her new book ‘The Guest’ and it’s a perfect read for a vacation. It’s the story of a women who spends the end of the summer on Long Island in company of a man until she’s no longer welcome and he buys her a train ticket back to the city. Instead, with little resources, a half-working phone, and an ability to navigate the desire of others, Alex stays on Long Island drifting from one place to the next leading up to Memorial Day. I couldn’t put it down and read it in two afternoons. Here’s the review by The Guardian.
What I’m listening to 🎧
It’s a new month which means a new monthly playlist with some songs that kept me company last month.
What I’m watching 📺
My friend Fiete recommended that I watch the movie ‘Air’ and it was a great recommendation. Set in 1984, before Nike was the Nike we know today, it tells the (mostly true) story of how the small and struggling basketball division at the company signed a deal with for a new shoe line with rookie player Michael Jordan. Starring Viola Davis, Ben Affleck, Jason Bateman and Matt Damon, it’s a great and entertaining watch for its performance and story. Watch the trailer and find it on Amazon Prime.
What I’m thinking about 🧠
