The StoryGraph app has single-handedly reinvigorated my reading habit. Super simple and no frills interface, and a great independently owned alternative to Goodreads (they can even transfer your profile over!) As a big Letterboxd user, having a way to log and track and check things off is very satisfying, and helps me get that little hit of external validation. I don’t really follow people on StoryGraph or use it for social stuff or thorough reviews, but it’s a great way to keep track of what you’ve read, what you’re reading, and what you want to read. Please note I’ve only read 6 or 7 books this year, but that still feels like an improvement on last year, and approaching a return to form.

This might be old news to some but if you're someone who likes to track their reading I highly recommend Storygraph. They provide you with much more interesting data about your reading habits (graphs!) are Black woman founded and run, not affiliated at all with amazon like Goodreads is, and have a more interactive rating system that gives better insight than just stars. What's even better is they have a way to import your goodreads data if you already feel invested in that app. Divest from amazon and delete ur goodreads!! :) :)

Y’all are not actually bringing terrible movies to the table here I wanna see actual trash recs!!! Jurassic Shark is often my pick because it’s terrible in all the normal low budget ways, but either intentionally or unintentionally subverts a lot of those tropes. It has a lot of heart! A lot of Canadian vibes! Despite its genre it also didn’t feel excessively exploitative! It had this completely clueless and rudderless direction that felt naive and charming, and if you’re a fan of bad movies, or shark movies, it’s a must.

Even if it’s renting a house outside the city together, even if you have to pinch pennies for it. The quality time is worth the headache.
