One of my best friends is Chelsea Bieker! I know I’m biased but she is truly such a talented writer. All of her books are so, so powerful. Beautiful and poignant on a sentence level, the voices so strong- characters just come to life off the page-they stick with you for a long time. The way she writes the whole truth too- the dark, the funny, and the plots propel you forward. You’ll love Madwoman. Check out Godshot, her first novel, and Heartbroke, her short story collection also!
Shrinking is a win! If you've watched Ted Lasso 3 times and feel almost shameful about doing a fourth, this is a good variation!. Laugh out loud, cry a little, real truth bombs type of goodness
I think you have family in Pasadena, as someone who lives there too, it's fun to recognize locations in Shrinking, and I think it's a fun show to watch!
I loved The Nightingale. It's my favourite Kristin Hannah book. (You might also like Three Sisters by Heather Morris, which is a heart-wrenching true story of sisters in the Holocaust.)
Definitely watch Somebody Somewhere! I actually watched it twice, which is something I never do. Such a beautiful brilliant funny show about being human.

I just finished reading Frozen River- so good!
I am watching Yellowstone and reading The Nightingale, by Kristin Hannah. I can’t put it down!

Shrinking is so good. It made me laugh and cry at the same time. One of the best series I’ve watched last year.

I just looked it up and it looks so good. Thanks for the recommendation! x
I loved reading the Salt Path that I continued to read Raynor’s other two books. So beautiful. I am completely immersed in their world
Shrinking IS amazing! An absolute must watch.
Yay! I figured it must be good. My mum has texted me like three times over the last few months telling me to watch it.
