Laufey: Tiny Desk Concert Interestingly enough, my students introduced me to Laufey before I could find her on my daily Spotify hunts. Her voice transcends time. This is lovely and sweet and awe-inspiring and perfect to have on in the background as you get things done.
School Spirits I’m kind of obsessed with this show and didn’t think I would be. It's a murder mystery where a student is killed in her high school and she has to solve her own murder with the help of both alive and deceased friends. It’s thrilling. It’s exciting. It’s good fun. Easy to binge on a winter weekend.
Olivia Rodrigo: Tiny Desk Concert I need to remember that this kid is like 18. Her lyrics, energy, and overall attitude resonate with this geriatric millennial. How wonderful is it to feel seen through music?
The Dragon Prince This show offers a captivating and richly developed fantasy world filled with magic, mythical creatures, and complex characters. The series, created by the co-creator of "Avatar: The Last Airbender," boasts a compelling narrative that seamlessly weaves together themes of friendship, adventure, and the struggle between good and evil. With its stunning animation, diverse representation, and a storyline that evolves with surprising twists, it’s an easy choice.
boygenius- You're Still The One - There is nothing like the harmonious blend of these voices; they seep into you, haunt your dreams, and get caught amongst the webs of brain matter. In this BBC recording, they offer a new spin on a classic love song, making me question what I thought I knew about the lyrics. I’ve already listened to this on loop like 100 times.

Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. Everybody is reading this right now. For good reason. Okay- so, it doesn’t get good until like 60% of the way through. But, when it gets good, it goes there. The world-building is thorough. But, personally, I am more into the steamy romance.
