Never Let Me Go

By Shelley | Published: January 24, 2012

I saw “Never Let Me Go” a few weeks ago and just had to read the book.

Feel Good Friday: Isn’t It Ironic?

By Shelley | Published: October 7, 2011

This chart made me smile. I used to be obsessed with Alanis’s “Ironic”. I think the “Have & Need” comparison with knives and spoons is my favorite. Don’t ya think? Happy Friday! By Shelly Burton, via I Love Charts, via Jezebel.

One of my lovely yoga teacher friends posted this quote on Facebook last week, and it’s been lingering in my mind ever since. Such a beautiful sentiment and a great reminder to enjoy life. Maybe try and get in a little dancing this weekend? Happy Friday!

It’s kind of like tabloid rags for book lovers, where you get a little glimpse into someone’s (literary) life. A group of “publishing nerds” scout out what people are reading in NYC. Take a peek. (Top image credit: [...]
