100,000 gold stars for this interview and for the Shakespeare answer. I can tell why you love her so much. What a joyful interview.

adding God of the Woods to my list. And maybe for Rebecca and the self-care oriented, try 4000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. 'Rejecting the futile modern fixation on “getting everything done,” Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing how many of the unhelpful ways we’ve come to think about time aren’t inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we’ve made as individuals and as a society―and that we could do things differently.' (read last spring on the recommendation of a palliative care physician colleague. Will reread!

Ugh, what a sweet lil’ piece of heaven that Rebecca is!! And smart - Sapiens is an excellent book to DNF. Nice work, Rebecca. I am going to offline you all about a book thing that is Shakespeare adjacent. Also, all these photos around MA make me wonder - do I need to live there?!? I think I would make a good friend to Dunkin.

We love you!!! Dunkin needs more friends just saying. But let's be real Yaya would steal you away for her very own.

This was a joy to read, so sweet. My recommendations for what Rebecca should read next: Betty Boo by Claudia Piniero and Work Won't Love You Back for some good ol enraging non fiction that reminds us to blame capitalism not ourselves for our exhaustion!
