In our final ode to Virginia Woolf, today we compare our feelings for The Hours, the 1998 Pulitzer Prize winner that was inspired by Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway. Sophie and I had different feelings about this incredibly original and complex novel and we had a lot to say! Join us!

February 15, 2023 27. Thoughts on Being a Lifelong Learner
Sophie and I talk all the time about our love of learning and I think we both secretly harbor a fantasy about going back to school. But there are ways that we ignite that passion without putting extra letters behind our name and we thought we’d share some of those with you today!

February 08, 2023 26. Seasons of Life featuring Alexandra Kelebay
Today we welcome Alexandra Kelebay to the podcast! I bet the people who listen to us know Alexandra from the world of Bookstagram, where Alexandra is known as @TheBookishGlow.
Today we’re excited to have her with us for what we are calling our “seasons of life” episode. Between the three of us, we are at very different places in our lives and we thought it would be interesting to share what we treasure about those phases and what we miss or look forward to in others.

December 14, 202220. Best of 2022
This is our final episode of 2022! We are doing a bit of a wrap up and best of memories!
Deb:
Best memory: Waking up after surgery and hearing Dr Wells say “it went great.” And my first bike ride with a new hip
Best meal: Amelie in NYC with Sophie (twice)
Best day: Hannah’s white coat ceremony
Best trip: 4th of July girls weekend in NYC with Sophie when walking was pain free.
Best book: Trust by Hernan Diaz: Classic writing style, interesting format, wonderful author…
2023 goals:
To be less stressed by my IG page; always feeling like I need to race to finish a book.

To try and worry less (I’m worried I can’t do it lol)

Sophie:
A fun thing to do is to go through your archive on instagram and see all of your stories from the past year.
Best memory: Finding the perfect reading spot in Central Park - now that Eli works Saturdays when the weather is nice out I got into a rhythm of going to the park with my book. Using the park as my backyard has been such a nice way to relax and unwind.
Best meal: Contramar in Mexico City
Best day: Eli’s gallery opening with everyone in attendance!
Best trip: Mexico City
Mini trips: Summer weekends in Saratoga (blueberry picking, long warm days, evenings on the porch)
Best book: Also A Poet by Ada Calhoun
2023 goals:
To be more involved in women’s rights organizations rather than just donating - either volunteering or attending events

To dedicate small bits of time throughout the day to learning (duolingo, newspaper article, reading a chapter of a book, etc)

To hosting people at our apartment more for dinner/drinks
