Love your recommendations here. I had the same thought about Doppelgänger when I picked it up last Fall but I keep thinking of it as I watch the language of resistance and community be co-opted over and over by the forces of antithesis. And The Sicilian Inheritance was one of my April recommendations in my newsletter too— glad you are also enjoying it! The Talented Mr. Ripley was one of the inspirations for another book on my list— Sarah Tomlinson’s new book The Last Days of the Midnight Ramblers. It’s an LA story you might also enjoy!

Amazing! Love that we have similar taste :) I'll check out The Last Days of the Midnight Ramblers.

Ooh, that is a great tip about Connections. I play it with my 7 and 9 year old kids and they'd love to go through the archives because they have no patience to wait for one a day! 🤣

I also appreciate your take on Ripley as I've been wondering about watching it. I also love that Andrew Scott might forever be known as "hot priest"!

That's so sweet! And I relate, I'm so addicted to it.

My Connections question for you: if you can't figure out how the last four words go together, do you spend the time trying to, or do you just click on them and finish the puzzle? I tend to be a "let's just get this over with" person.

I'm a TCM freak and have seen All About Eve a handful of times. It's fantastic.

I tend to try to figure out the connection for maybe up to a minute, and if I can't I just reveal it!

If the rest of the puzzle was relatively easy, I may do that. But if it was a tricky one, I just want it to be over!

So glad I found your work here again, Ali! Are there plans for a next Artist Way group? I'd love to participate.

Likewise! The next Artist's Way group won't be until January 2025, but we'll probably do another workbook together in the fall :)
