Hello, friends!

One of my favorite things to do when I like a piece of media—a book, a TV show, a movie, a song, etc.—is to go hunting for other things like that thing. For example, we all know I love the movie Contact, which tells the story of humankind's first message from the stars; a great followup to that movie is Arrival, which delves more deeply into human-alien communication. Bonus points: Both have very strong parent-child relationship themes.

When I read a novel earlier this year about financial crimes, I enjoyed it so much I went looking for more.

When I finished The Office, I was glad to learn that shows like Parks & Recreation existed.
