Blame
Paul Read@NataniaBarron I blame (read: thank) the Peter, Paul & Mary holiday special from the 80s. So many gorgeous songs in minor keys. My parents recorded it when it aired on TV and I wore out the VHS. Now I own the album and the DVD. 🤷♀️

Salty: Lessons on Eating, Drinking, and Living from Revolutionary Women
Alissa Wilkinson@RuthMBuchanan Currently reading Salty by Alissa Wilkinson (it's fantastic). About to start Dead Man's Hand by James J. Butcher and an ARC of Liturgies for Hope by Audrey Elledge and Elizabeth Moore. This feels like a particularly me-ish combo.

What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions
Randall Munroe@drea_dear I’ve been listening to What If? 2 by Randall Munroe (aka xkcd) and Wil Wheaton’s narration has made me actually lol repeatedly while I’m learning science-y things. If you’re even slightly into science or an xkcd fan, cannot recommend strongly enough.
