April HQ Happenings

LISTENING TO

March was the last push before OOAK, which meant lots of sewing and binging podcasts. Something Was Wrong focuses on survivors telling their stories of survival. They tell us how they got into their abusive relationships and more importantly how they got out of them. The host is also a survivor and she does a beautiful job highlighting their journey to freedom and independence.

READING

The first book that pulled me into reading was The Sword and the Stone, and The Once and Future King is the brilliant reimagining of the same author.
T.H. White is a genius. This story is told as if all events have already happened. With Merlyn's life being lived backward, he often references events that haven't happened yet. This whole book is written like this which makes it so interesting, plus reinforces that I believe Meryln's character is T. H. White.

WATCHING

Tokyo Vice is the story of Jake Adelstein, an American journalist based in Tokyo, he writes for the Meicho newspaper where he and his colleagues work to take down one Yakuza leader. Based on the book of the same name, also written by Jake, this is based on true events. It explores this world, but also it explores the difference between Japanese and American culture. I am thoroughly enjoying this series and highly recommend it.
