How many bookstores is too many bookstores?
Hello! Happy Thursday and Happy Thanksgiving!!
Welcome to part one of pre-written Brieana! Is anything she says going to be super relevant to this week? No! But she can guess.
It's going to be a hectic one filled with screaming, running around, and generally crying, and honestly, even writing this the Sunday before, I had a half hour running around my apartment screaming "WHERE ARE MY PACKING CUBES" until I tucked them neatly ...under my kitchen table? A year ago??? What in the world.
For anyone who worked this week, freedom! We're finally good. For anyone who didn't, how do your final days of having off feel like???
I kid.
Anyway, I'm going to leave some space for Brieana of November 23rd to say something, so she can add in current context:
*brie from Thanksgiving*
hello! I completely forgot about this newsletter and should’ve been in bed an hour ago because I am exhausted but I guess it’s funny I came into an issue with my esim so y’all can hear from me! I am so sleepy but happy - it’s cold af here in London, some people are happily screaming outside my Airbnb window, and I went to four bookshops today and grabbed a bunch of UK only versions of books I’ve wanted or don’t exist in the US!
Can you believe I’ve never done London? It’s very lovely minus the tourists that made me want to drop kick them off a building. But I’ve only here here for about twelve hours so maybe next week I’ll have a better update. But until then, hope y’all can eat some delicious food with your family/friends!!
Anyway, onto recommendations!
Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving and that the food was delish. :)

- Y'all have heard me talk about "productivity Youtube" for ...years now? (we passed our 100th newsletter a while back!), and I realized I don't think I've sent the OG Youtuber who got me into the space! She has really interesting tidbits about how to stay on top of your habits and work towards your goals. I really like her. Maybe I've spent too long watching instead of working on my goals but that is neither here nor there. This video is 7 Actionable Ways to Be More Consistent, a new one for this week, and I know I'll use them to stay on top (or... start...) my 2023 goals.
- I haven't recommended a book in a minute, and I... don't have anything! I have truly been reading some straight up fine books, which is fine, but nothing is memorable and it makes me sad. Hopefully, between plane rides and cafes I shall be deep into books that I can recommend! [Brie: Add a book if you read anything good this week - I slept on the plane so no book recs yet!] But regardless, next year, I'm going to do better. I did give up on ten books this year, but I'm also starting ones that are not inspiring me to read. We gotta pick better next year!
- Viola Davis was asked on a red carpet about relationship advice (and lmao her subtle eye roll was great), but she had a really good comment about just loving yourself first and understanding what makes you happy. It's worth the watch.
Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving and that the food was delish. :)
