I spent Saturday bingeing Christmas-y TV and Movies including every holiday episode of Supestore (I really miss that show) shout out to Hulu for pulling those episodes. Also, Finding Mr Christmas is gonna be a really cute competition.

pickBook #17 of 2024: “Plotting Women” by Jean Franco
This was a challenge. I lack a lot of the background needed to understand many of the references made to other texts and authors, but the topic (women who, in their own ways, subverted gender norms/expectations in Mexican culture) was engrossing. I wouldn‘t recommend this book unless this has been a field of study for you already. It‘s dense.
so-soIdentity is becoming. Identity is intersectional.
reading theory takes a lot of mental energy for me so I was bored
so-soMildly amusing, can be read in a few sittings.

pickThis was a really interesting way to examine the impact of the Beatles and James Bond on British and global culture. Some of the connections Higgs draws feel a teeny bit tenuous, but overall I really enjoyed the book. There are spoilers for many of the Bond films, so if you‘re not a spoiler fan you may want to watch at least No Time to Die before reading this.
