I remember being a kid in the 90s and my mom CONSTANTLY listening to The Woman in Me and Come on Over. She got to see Shania Twain last night in Vegas and I’m just so happy for her.

With 7 more days in 2024 do I: rewatch seasons 5-7 of 30 Rock before they are removed from streaming, OR read 4 more books to finish on a nice even number of 170 for the year.
