Weekly Roundup: Purrmaids Series, SNL Stories, and Mom Strikes

Published 9 months ago
Description
Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.

Catherine's library find is a series of early chapter books by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen about "purrmaids," characters that are half kitten, half mermaid—and a spinoff about mermicorns, because don't all kids love kittens, mermaids and unicorns?

Terri's random recommendation is a double dose of stories about Saturday Night Live. She listened to two short audiobooks: May You Live in Interesting Times: A Memoir, by Laraine Newman, and Blues Brothers: The Arc of Gratitudeby Dan Aykroyd. Mentioned: Saturday NightLadies and Gentlemen... 50 Years of SNL Music (especially the opening montage), and the debt snowball/debt avalanche techniques.

In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2021 on mom strikes.

Next week's lineup: 
  • Lost S3 E2, "The Glass Ballerina," on Tuesday, June 10
  • Duster S1 E3, "You're No Good," on Wednesday, June 11
  • Weekly roundup on Thursday, June 12

Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.
