In past few months, I happened to read three “Sad Hot Girl” books (a phrase which tiktok, of course, created). In this episode, I investigate the Sad Hot Girl genre, what these three books have in common, and how I felt reading them. I hope you enjoy! X

Four months after first arriving in LA, I have now read five and a half books set here (some on purpose, some by accident). In this episode I talk about how these books have influenced and informed my experience of LA as a city. I hope you enjoy x

Hollywood, La La Land, Tinseltown, Showbiz. There are many names for the film industry in Los Angeles, and even though I’ve visited so many times, I still struggle to separate the myth from the reality. This episode is a look at Hollywood, its cinema, its stories, its identity. I hope you enjoy! A x

Like many old things, the Greek myths might at first seem complicated, dull, or irrelevant, but I promise you, they are far from it. This episode is a guide bya beginner, for beginners, with the aim to share my love of the Greek myths, and hopefully inspire you to discover them, too. A x

Another bite-sized episode for you folks! A shallow dive (as opposed to a deep dive) into the world of historical fantasy fiction. I take you through a few of my favourite books that combine these two genres, and explore the ways in which they use fantasy to tell a story. The clashing of myth and reality has been coming up a lot for me recently, so you can expect more episodes on this topic! A x

What does one do when one is stuck in a single room for 7 days? One reads, of course. Another week in the year of our lord 2022, another bout of isolation. In this episode, I tell you about everything I read in those seven days on my own, while offering no insight or meaningful message on the emotional and creative effects of isolation. It just is what it is.

Have you ever stumbled upon a book that brought so much more to your life than you first expected? That’s what happened to me with The Snake Pit, a 1946 novel I found in a second-hand bookstore in Vancouver. The book was a sensation when it was published, and was made into an award-winning film with Olivia de Havilland, but somehow I had never heard of it. In this episode I compare the book with the film, and uncover the bigger story behind The Snake Pit.

Welcome back to The Community Library! After a little hiatus, I am back making episodes, beginning with this one all about my adventures watching old movies for a week. I watched seven black and white movies, spanning from 1931 to 1948, and documented my thoughts on each. I watched some classics – such as His Girl Friday and Frankenstein, and some lesser-known ones, such as Ladies of the Chorus and To Be or Not to Be. Enjoy!
