Julia: a retelling of orwell's 1984 (2023)

I always loved Julia so much. An inappropriate amount. Eight years old and thinking I love her I love her I love her. This book is all I could've wanted and more. Newman writes trauma (and traumatized sexuality, traumatized friendship, traumatized moment to moment, traumatized day by day) better than almost anyone I've read. No soulless reboot or IP pandering here. Simply storytelling. Love for the work and love for women. Julia was always real to me and I'm so grateful.

JULIA By Sandra Newman

It's 1984 from the perspective of Julia (Winston's love interest), and it's a humdinger

Magical realism

Last Thursday, a meteor appeared in the night sky over Los Angeles. I stood in place for 30 seconds watching it blaze brilliant red and orange before fizzling out suddenly. The experience moved me immensely and filled me with a sense of hope that I hadn’t felt in quite some time. I read later that it was a SpaceX satellite. I wish I hadn’t.

OPening your windows when it rains

There's something about a wet and humid early morning that heals my soul. It's like a free sound bath. Especially if you are lucky and have a little bit of thunder alongside.
