Fully agree that the Libby app is the best thing of all time. I immediately topped off my holds list with some of these book recs (I am spending NYE sick at home and a murder mystery read sounds perfect). I cannot believe my newsletter was NUMBER THIRTEEN. A favorite number!! ❤️ Happy New Year, Sophie!
It was my favorite Substack of last year! I loved every essay and read it so consistently. I love the way you see the world and I feel incredibly lucky that ours collided even in a small way. Thank you for writing it! You’re a light.
Well, Sophie, this is just about the best list I’ve seen…ever. Gotta make this salad, gotta buy these shoes, gotta read that book, get that app…it may take me a whole year to implement the things that caught my interest here. Thank you. Happy 2025!!
I was saving this list for a time when i could savor it and now I’m stressed because #6 truly is dangerous unless the rice cooker keeps the rice consistency HOT HOT HOT which I suspect it doesn’t. Much rice is contaminated with the spores of the bacteria B cereus (caused much laughter in medical school which shows how much humor was lacking..) When you eat rice immediately, it is fine. When the spores have a chance to grow, and they will - exponentially- as they tolerate cold and a fair amount of heat, the rice will become contaminated. It causes a very nasty gastroenteritis. Please, please be cautious!!

That’s so nice of you to say! I’m so glad you’re enjoying it.
Happy new year, Sophie! This post was the first thing that wasn't a text that I read in the new year, so the new year is off to a great start!
