Weekly Roundup: “Like Family,” Duolingo, and Warning Labels We Need

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.

Catherine's library find is a novel that had many blurbs that appealed to her, so she wants to check it out: Like Family by Erin O. White. She also has a follow-up to last week's history of Victorian parenting. It's Hot Victorians: Meet Your Dream Man From the Past by Aaron Radford-Wattley (inspired by an Instagram account of the same name). Mentioned: True Biz by Sara Novic.

Terri's random recommendation is Duolingo, where you can learn not just languages used in the real world, but those from the past (Latin) and fictitious worlds (Klingon, High Valyrian). Mentioned: Duolingo French podcast and a Game of Thrones scene that demonstrates the power of knowing your enemy's language: Part 1, part 2.

In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2022 on the warning labels we need as parents. Mentioned: AIM away messages.

Next week's lineup:

• Shrinking S3 E7, "I Will Be Grape," on Tuesday, March 17
• Lost S5 E5, "This Place Is Death," on Wednesday, March 18
• Weekly roundup on Thursday, March 19
  
  

Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.
