Reading
It feels like the older you get, the harder it can be to carve time out for reading. While in 2023 I didn’t become the enthusiastic reader that I was back when I was younger and had more free time, I did manage to go through a handful of books that I enjoyed. Maureen Ryan’s Burn It Down was an insightful (and infuriating) look at how shows like Sleepy Hollow and Lost were run; Vampire Weekend by Mike Chen was a fun supernatural romp. The last book I finished was Wole Talabi’s Shigidi and the Brass Head of Obalufon, which I really enjoyed. – Justin Carter
