Hey Nicky! Enjoyed CODA but found it contrived, manipulative and it felt like an old made-for-TV movie or after school special to me however it had some great performances and overall I thought it was entertaining.

Lincoln Highway is on my list -- loved, loved, loved Amor Towles' first two. Completely agree on Dickinson.

I must recommend Somebody Somewhere on HBO max. Just seven or eight short eps but it was good.

Found this great podcast called Pop Culture Happy Hour from NPR... I believe it's a daily podcast and they do a deep dive on a film or a TV show or a book. On certain ones whoever is participating in the podcast that day will include "what's making them happy" and they each proffer a recommendation. Not sure if you're into podcasts but if you are you might enjoy this one.

I'm going to have Ann get in touch for a meet up. :)

I always love your comments! Ok so I watched CODA from a different place but totally see where you’re coming from and agree. As far as AT books I’ve read GIM but now Rules is on my list. I will occasionally pod and walk so I’ve added that too. Too much media not enough time. And yes, please put Ann on the case. The patio is shaping up for the season!
