This week we're talking about a memoir that took all of us by surprise. Patrick Bringley leaves a prestigious job at The New Yorker to become a security guard at the MET. His story not only brings readers behind the scenes of one of the most influential centers of art in the world, but it's a powerful testimony about loss, grief, love and hope. We talk about the passages that made us cry, the importance of brevity in long-form prose, all the cool stats we learned about the MET, and how the book's illustrations make this a beautiful gift. In our catch up this week, Kaitlin shares about a new priority for 2025, Steph tells us all about her new interior design project (and we hatch a plan for a manuscript inspired by it), and Molly gushes about the movie Wicked. We close by sharing a list of books we can't wait to read in 2025. To follow along with all of our recommendations, join us on Instagram @plansarebooked. You can also write to us [email protected].
