Happy new year, Courtney! I’ve read about 125 books, drafted a rom com during NaNoWriMo, and edited the ever loving heck out of a YA fantasy I plan to query in the new year.

I have read 31 books this year, nearly all of which were re-reads of my favourite books & authors.

I watch around 150 films & TV shows (both new & rewatches) highlights being: Everything Everywhere All at once, Euphoria, Yellow Jackets, Gomorrah, The Sinner, Dare Me, Drag race UK & Canada's Drag Race.

Music: ah I love Mitski! So definitely Laurel Hell, Glitch Princess by Yeule and Hold the Girl by Rina Sawayama. Also Lana Del Rey's new song did you know there's a tunnel under ocean boulevard.

Video games: Life is Strange True Colours & it's add on Wavelengths.

As for a question 🤔... favourite thing you were brought or gifted this year, and your favourite gift to give?

Happy New Year (in advance), I'm excited to enter your new era 🥰

I read my typical book number this year but tried to seek out a wider range of books that I might not have reached for in the past. I read across 16 genres/subgenres and discovered more new authors than I ever have before. That and completing a few writing projects might be part of why my movie count was surprisingly low for me? It was a year for favorite tv show rewacthes, really. Reading these end of year reflections gets me so excited about all of the art waiting to be discovered in 2023!

My year in review: I read about 60 books this year, which is about average for me but also about three times as many as I managed last year. My favorites (that came out this year AND that I read this year) are probably When Women Were Dragons, The Dead Romantics, The Verifiers, and Funny You Should Ask (my favorite-but-I-read-it-last-year is Book Lovers). I also wrote two books, which is extremely above average for me. According to Letterboxd I've watched 161 movies this year, but to be fair I think the majority were rewatches. My most-watched actor is Sandra Bullock, which is more accurate than any of the other (all accurate) data I have. My favorite movies of the year are probably The Batman and Prey. Also The Lost City, which is perfect by every metric. My favorite coffee is Stumptown's Hair Bender, and I probably drink about 1200 cups a year. The end!
