    Every year, I give my picks for fall shows. Here’s what I’ll be storing in my DVR this year. Now, if someone will just take care of Ellie, I should be able to get to all of these. Sunday 7:00 – Once Upon a Time (Sept. 29) – Last season was a pretty lackluster, but…

    So, in the last two weeks, I’ve been sick, and Ellie has been sick. To say things have not been awesome would be an understatement. This book, however, is pretty spectacular. My mom had lent it to me with a glowing recommendation, so I decided to give it a whirl. I read the entire thing…

    Remember when I told you how busy I’ve been? Well, what I’m about to discredit that, because in the last few months, I have read three books. Three. Maybe I’ve been reading a little more lately. (It’s been awesome.) Austenland by Shannon Hale: This story is about a single NYC woman who visits a Jane…

    I can’t be the only person who has this song playing on permanent repeat in their head, right? Luckily, I really like it.

    The follow-up to Spoiled, Messy is the perfect beach read. Written by the ladies of Go Fug Yourself, it has their sense of humor and wit and offers both an insider and outsider’s view of L.A. Targeted to young adults, it has a great message about individuality, determination and dreaming big. Personally, I’d love to…

    Somehow I managed to escape reading The Great Gatsby in high school and college. I’m not really sure how. I’ve always wondered about it, but when given a choice, I always selected different books. With the movie out in theaters, I now had daily advertisements reminding me that I should check it out. So, this…

    This book is perfection. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern is an intricately woven story made magical with lush details on every page. Read it, like yesterday.

    I was one of those people who had been waiting anxiously for Justin Timberlake to come out with a new album. So, when Suit and Tie came out, I wanted to like it. And, I should have. Jay-Z even sang on it. But, I didn’t. Quite frankly, the lyrics creep me out, which is ironic…

    I have a weakness for basically any romance set in England, so it’s no surprise that I chose a Hester Browne book for March. I wanted something light and easy to read, because I knew work was going to be very busy. The Runaway Princess was exactly what the doctor ordered. Dinner with princes and…

    So, I’m two for two. I finished the second book in my year of reading. This resolution just might happen. I ended up reading, The Weird Sisters, a great little book told in an interesting voice for February. It took me a little while to get into the flow of the story. The narrator is sort…
