Weekend Reading, 12.7.24. – The Stripe


December is one of my favorite months to curate this list; there are so many best-of lists! The best books, the best films, the best restaurants . . . I gobble this sort of content right up. I hope that you enjoy reading through these; I know I did! Whatever you’re up to, I hope it’s fab. I have a few plans but am taking it easy. Now that the cyber week madness is done with, I’ve gotta kick this cold!
