Go to the book section your local Goodwill. The selection will likely be pretty small. Find something with an pretty cover (whoever said to not judge a book by its cover was a liar), cool title or interesting blurb. Don’t look up the book or the reviews. Just start reading and form your own opinions, without the internet.
This method brought me to Philip Margolin’s thriller “Gone, but Not Forgotten,” which I have never previously heard about. It may not be the best book I have ever read, but it is still a fun and intriguing mystery. Definitely a page turner.

i usually find myself in reading ruts when i’m taking classes and being assigned books or when i’m trying to keep up with new releases and the “smart” books that are usually dense and long. i can usually get myself out of this rut by picking out a book that looks fun to me, like a book set on a beach or something I loved in middle school. I’m reading From The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler right now and it’s just FUN!!! I also am very much not someone who feels like they have to finish a book. Life is too short. I think that helps!

I've started to pick up random old orange penguin books from second hand bookstore based of the title alone to expand my reading as I tend to stick to well-known classics. It's been great and allowed me to discover books/authors I would have never read otherwise, would def recommend doing it

I love living in New York and being able to get last minute concert tickets! Will be sure to update with videos after the show.

This movie was so visually stunning and reality shattering. A mix of Donnie Darko and Buffy the Vampire Slayer with some David Lynch in there, but also made for the queers. Best modern horror film I’ve seen in a while.
