I’ve confessed it here before, but for years, (like over 20) I have loved romance novels. In middle school, I read Phyllis Whitney and Nora Roberts all the time, which basically ruined men for me. Then, as I got older, I read Susan Elizabeth Philips and Jennifer Cruisie, because there characters were pretty funny. Flash forward…
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Mindy Kaling. I loved her first book Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, and so, as you can imagine, I was excited to pick up Why Not Me?. In a nutshell, this book picks up where the other left off. Her first talked a lot about lessons…
So, this round-up of books is basically full of light reads. Other than the fourth one listed, your mind will not be expanded reading any of these, but sometimes that’s the point. A fun, simple getaway can be just what the doctor ordered when life is busy and hard. For me, reading has never had…
When I was in elementary school, I got Madonna’s True Blue album on cassette. I listened to that whole thing over and over and over again. (My poor parents can vouch for this.) In high school, I was obsessed with everything on The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill CD. (I still am. That album holds up.) Then, in college, whenever I…
It’s been awhile since we reviewed an AFI top 100 film, but this time, we have three new ones to share with you. You can find each of our his and hers reviews here, but for those of you who aren’t familiar with the project, Keegan and I are working our way through the American Film…
I read this 600+ page book in three days, because I had to know what happened. I think that tells you how great The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair is. Written by Joel Dicker, this novel chronicles a young author’s quest to exonerate his mentor, Harry Quebert, when he is implicated in the 33-year-old murder of a young…
Finding Audrey is a Young Adult novel by Sophie Kinsella (writer of the Shopaholic series and long list of other books). It takes on teen bullying and mental illness with wit and humor. Despite the heavy topics, you should read this on your next vacation (or staycation). I promise you’ll love it. Finding Audrey is an incredibly fast…
Let’s face it. This blog should probably be titled the girl who likes baked goods and watches too much Bravo. But truly, I can’t get enough. Tonight, #RHOC premieres, and I’m over the top excited. Behold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpvFYree6u8 So, I’d love to know which Housewife franchise is your favorite? Mine is a tie between all of…
This weekend, I took myself to see Far from the Madding Crowd. It was sweeping and beautiful and lovely. If, like me, you have a weakness for period romances set in England, then get yourself to a theater to see it immediately. Also, Carey Mulligan is fantastic in it. See for yourself.
