Book Post: Wong, Sapkowski, Wynne Jones, Albertalli, Heinlein
1.Dear Girls by Ali Wong, 213pp I was sitting on the train and trying not to laugh out loud reading this book. I really liked Wong’s two comedy specials on Netflix so I got the book too and it was really funny. She is not writing in order of her life, more thematically but it was pretty interesting. She does not pull punches and is pretty honest ( Read more... ) -
TV in 2019
I think 2019 was a pretty good year in TV. I didn't watch that many network shows in real time: 3 dramas (Supernatural, Flash and Supergirl) and 2 comedies (Modern Family and Good Place). Three of those are coming to an end this spring, which is probably a good thing. I do prefer having the whole series at once rather than watching one week at a ( Read more... ) -

Book Post: Atwood, Criado Perez, Coates, Bujold, Nevala-Lee, Curtis and Kelly
The Testaments by Margaret Atwood, 415pp I really liked this book. I read it on my Kindle so when I looked at the bookstore at the physical copy I was surprised by its thickness as I read it pretty quickly. I loved all the different narrators. I think it helped that I already knew who they were from the book's description or review. Aunt Lydia's ( Read more... ) -
Bookstore Heaven!
I took a walk at lunch to Fulton Street again since I do need to walk more. So I figure I go visit the bookstore again. This time, after I browsed (and saw that the Nargis cafe I enjoy is in Michelin guide!), I went to look at the cafe connected to it and discovered cushy welcoming carpeted stairs that led to the second floor of the bookstore! I ( Read more... )
