I haven't been able to really dig into this yet, but I am so happy Glen and Marketa have reconnected to release more music. The couple songs I've heard are delightful. I have such great memories of seeing them around the release of their movie Once.

pickThis historical fiction covered a lot without feeling stretched too thin. From wwi to the Great Depression, it covers #NYC theatre and baseball with a diverse cast of characters. I did this on audio and kept coming back to it because I “couldn‘t put it down.” Recommend.

Whene'er a cloud appears in the blue

And so the right thing to do
Is make it shine for you“ 🌤️

bailedI really liked Beautyland and the Book Riot podcast folks love this one, so I figured I‘d give it a try. I made it almost halfway through but I just don‘t care. It isn‘t grabbing me at all. So, on to the next.
pickRepublished in honour of what would have been Sinatra's 100th birthday in 2015, this is a personal tribute to 'Ol Blue Eyes' himself. Although it obviously centres around the man & his career, it also covers Italian immigration into America & Sinatra's first brush with prejudice, the rise & fall of Prohibition (& by extension the Mob), & the Second World War.
