Weekly Roundup: “Cranky,” “Shrinking” Playlists, and Pondering Praise

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is Cranky, by Phuc Tran with illustrations by Pete Oswald. It's a picture book starring a crabby crane who does not want to talk about what's bothering him, so don't ask! Mentioned: The Food Group series, also illustrated by Oswald.​Terri's random recommendation this week is some Apple synergy: Apple Music playlists from our beloved Shrinking (an Apple TV+ show). You can listen to songs from season 1 and season 2 (that one includes the extended, very profane version of "Cheater B*tch"). Mentioned: "Collateral" (which plays just before the accident Louis causes) and "Looking Too Closely" (from the final minutes of season 2).​​In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2022 on pondering praise.Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E6, "Abandoned," on Tuesday, January 28A Man on the Inside S1 E1, "Tinker Tailor Older Spy," on Wednesday, January 29Weekly roundup on Thursday, January 30Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.
