Read: Miracles, Inc.

Miracles, Inc. by T.J. Forrester

Elegantly tragic, beautifully engaging, terrifyingly honest. Forrester brings together the intimate moments that mold our lives, sharing them with the reader in a way that makes these memories seem like something of their own misty past. I could not put this book down-- I finished it in one night, and bet you will too.

Sunday Funday

Sunday Funday is back. Yes, that right. I am finally completely and totally sick of spending my Sundays doing work, especially as Spring is slowly (but surely) creeping back to into New York. So I decided to instead spent the afternoon doing dinner and a movie on the other side of the island. We decided to  see Bill Cunningham New York before it officially left Film Forum. 

This was the line for pre-purchased tickets--crazy!

But it was well worth the wait. An amazing documentary for all, not just the fashion lovers. It is one of those movies where you feel so much better after seeing it, especially if your most recent adventures in film amount to second or third installments of Madea. Or the like. 

Read: Little Bee

Little Bee by Chris Cleave 

 

Intense and riveting, this novel softly settles into your conscious as smoothly and painfully as if pulled from your own memory.

I finished this book in two days. I was wholeheartedly drawn into a familiar but carefully disconnected world that was both beautiful and tragically vivid.
