What's got my attention this week #98

Books, TV, podcasts and links to stories I think you’ll like

The previously “untouchable” French actor Gerard Depardieu was found guilty of sexually assaulting two women on a film set. (Here he is bestowing his “attention” on co-star Isabelle Huppert)

Above the paywall today: identifying your own personal seasons, learning from adventurous friends, why nobody wants to be that woman and a year of All Fours.

Below the paywall today: libido-boosting courses, relationship money mistakes, Barbie’s feet, needy skin, the bookclub book of the year (probably), why gardening matters now and more.
