As the weather grows colder, obligations drag on, and an underwhelming holiday season approaches, life can feel a little grey. Maybe work is piling up or it’s a bummer that family hangs are a no-go. Hey, maybe you’re feeling just fine! Regardless, I’m formally inviting you to revisit media that made you feel something.
Find delight in a book from your middle-school days or a k-drama that you binged at the start of quarantine. Get nostalgic with a poorly written sitcom that you vaguely remember enjoying on your caretaker’s couch; a comforting piece of fanfiction from a few years ago; or a comic you obsessed over as a kid (I may or may not be drawing on specific personal experiences with each of these examples, but the world will never know).
Media is there for your entertainment and—now more than ever—joy. However it can be (safely!!) obtained is so important right now. Of course, if you don’t have ideas of your own, BookMatch Teen has your back with a booklist of new, exciting titles and old favorites that got us through 2020.
