We’re baaack. As promised, here’s the second installment of our new newsletter: Weekend Non-Negotiables — a carefully skimmed list of what to watch, see, listen to, and do over the weekend. Think of it as a head start on the best part of the week. You’re welcome.
You worked hard enough this week. Let us plan your weekend…

Happy (almost) weekend. I’m writing this from the comfort of my couch, since this is the first time in months when my weekend hasn’t been spent at one of my daughter’s Irish dance competitions. Those resume next weekend, so for now, I’m taking advantage of the chance to catch up on, well, everything. That includes:
Digging into Erica Peplin’s Work Nights, which is about a queer woman working at a newspaper and navigating a love triangle. It’s the kind of story that takes me back to my youth, when 11 pm was just the beginning of an anything-can-happen evening.
Finishing Wayward (I’m hooked on the Stranger Things vibes). Also, wrapping up The Way Home. A Hallmark Channel original with time travel, multiple generations of women who love but can’t understand each other, and Andie MacDowell? Yeah, it checks all the boxes for must-watch TV.
Shopping for Advent calendars. I’m obsessed with this Sephora Collection Advent Calendar, but Williams Sonoma’s 24 Days of Baking Cookies is equally tempting. Not to mention this $1.49 Trader Joe’s option is pretty hard to beat.
Preparing some Thanksgiving treats. My daughter picked this S’more Pudding Pie, which looks ridiculously delicious and only requires 15 minutes of baking time, and I’m intrigued by these viral, three-ingredient cookies.
