Weekly Roundup: Purrmaids Series, SNL Stories, and Mom Strikes

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find is a series of early chapter books by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen about "purrmaids," characters that are half kitten, half mermaid—and a spinoff about mermicorns, because don't all kids love kittens, mermaids and unicorns?Terri's random recommendation is a double dose of stories about Saturday Night Live. She listened to two short audiobooks: May You Live in Interesting Times: A Memoir, by Laraine Newman, and Blues Brothers: The Arc of Gratitude, by Dan Aykroyd. Mentioned: Saturday Night, Ladies and Gentlemen... 50 Years of SNL Music (especially the opening montage), and the debt snowball/debt avalanche techniques.In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2021 on mom strikes.Next week's lineup: Lost S3 E2, "The Glass Ballerina," on Tuesday, June 10Duster S1 E3, "You're No Good," on Wednesday, June 11Weekly roundup on Thursday, June 12Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.
