The long-running Italian cartoon about a group of best-friend fairies, Winx Club, is one of the few explicitly girl-focused shows to make the transition to a darker, edgier live-action. Fate: The Winx Saga by Netflix casts the same spell on the bright, visually vibrant cartoon that Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Riverdale did on their family-friendly Archie Comics counterparts. It has a surprisingly nuanced plot that delves into the consequences of war across generations — but it comes at a cost, both for the characters and for that familiar sense of friendship and mutual support. In the first episode, we see Bloom (Abigail Cowen) moving into Alfea, a boarding school for fairies and specialists (male fairies) in the Otherworld. The first person she speaks with is a specialist named Sky (Danny Griffin), who discovers that Bloom is from the "realm" of California and that she had no idea she was a fairy three months ago.

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho was the first book I started and completed in 2022. Despite its small size, this book is a work of art in terms of symbolism and inspiration.

In today’s world, we are preoccupied with making the right choice; the clever choice, but not necessarily the choice we are ostensibly “meant” to make, or that we are truly satisfied with.

This piece of Coelho’s work has made me want to read more of his work; it is a truly memorable story, well written and developed with the beautifully interwoven theme of destiny; different for each of us, but something that
