I absolutely LOVE A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. I like it even more than The Kite Runner and to find someone who thinks the same already tells me everything I need to know! had we gone to the same school or maybe even lived in the same town, I know you would have been a good friend to have :)

Oh it’s sooo good isn’t it?! I’ve not actually read The Kite Runner but nothing will top my love for A Thousand Splendid Suns. That’s such a lovely thing to say, thank you so much - if you ever want a virtual friend you know where my DMs are! 🥰

You're so brave! I would panic if I was anywhere near a shark. haha. And I've always got The Office on repeat. It's a real comfort show. :)

Haha, I was soooo nervous beforehand but once I was in there I was fine! Not sure I'm brave enough to do a cage dive though 🤣 The Office is such a comfort show isn't it? I just love it so much!

Let's hope a dinner party with the cast and crew of The Office goes better than the dinner party episode!

There will be no Dundies thrown at my dinner party... although I can't promise I won't play Hunter's band 🤣

Congratulations on your 12-week writing journey! I just started joining Substack not long ago. The first thing I did when I got here was to look for a ton of publications that I was interested in so that I would have good articles to read every day as a means of entertainment and reading material for my English learning, and The Quite 20s was one of them haha! I started building my own publication at the beginning of July, writing fictions and essays with my B1-B2 English level. I find it very interesting. Since I can't tell if the sentences I write are good or bad, I feel satisfaction just by finishing a sentence and I can feel a huge sense of accomplishment by finishing an essay or a story. I will continue to enjoy my following creating journey, and I wish you the best of luck in maximizing your enjoyment of your creations as well!

Ahh no way! That’s so cool! I love coming up with campaigns too. I’ve spent all of today working on a POA for an international client for like the next three years so this evening I haven’t wanted to go anywhere near a screen 😵‍💫🤣 What do you do now?

Omg yessss! Dinner Party is one of the best episodes! It’s the best series ever 🥰
