Odetta by Rag’n’Bone Man
This is such a gorgeous song. You were always tryna fill the void, my brother A habit so old, tryna find that something new Never stare in the arms of a lover Seeking darkness wherever light may shine through Along came a morning of another Blindsided by your sweet surprise Odetta, don’t you know…

Quoted: Love in the Time of Cholera
Human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but that life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves.

Ramble Ramble Rosie
Have I told you about my friend Rosie? She’s very smart, and very funny, and my partner in crime when it comes to creating book challenges. She recently started a bookstagram account, too, and it’s simply gorgeous. If you aren’t following her already, you should be.

The Mortal Instruments+ by Cassandra Clare
So . . . it’s the end of March, officially spring already, and I’m just now diving into this year’s book challenge (and no—I still haven’t finished 2016). But boy, did I jump in with a vengeance. Now, you may remember that when we came up with this year’s challenge, Rosie and I decided that we…

The Painted Girls by Cathy Marie Buchanan
Yes, I’m still working on my 2016 book challenge. Since The Painted Girls fulfilled the “something your mom recommends” category, I present to you my genius mother’s review: “This book called my name from several places—bookstores, airports, discount chains—so I finally gave in and purchased it. Having a niece in the ballet industry, combined with my…

Bill Murray as Baloo is my life: “Come on, Mowgli. Let’s be on our way.” —Bagheera “But I’m helping Baloo get ready for hibernation.” —Mowgli “Bears don’t hibernate in the jungle.” —Bagheera “Not full hibernation, but I nap. A lot.” —Baloo In addition, I applaud Jon Favreau for taking this on and thank him for recreating…

Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol
You’re smart people, so by now you’ve probably figured out that I’m not the biggest fan of European classics. Dickens certainly did not meet my expectations, great or otherwise, I did not have a whale of a time reading Melville (heh!) and I’m sorry, but for all the fuss about Dorian Gray, his death was my favourite part…
