    I recently had the opportunity to watch the Uncle Vanya production in Lincoln Theatre starring steve carrell as the uncle vanya.

  • Swallow The Ghost

    Swallow The Ghost

    I always get such a thrill when getting approved for the preview of a book on Netgalley and the thrill of being able to read this book in January 2024 when it won’t be published until August 2024 so I can make my own opinions and read a book without much insight into what the Read more

    The Land of Lost Things

    Is it cheesy to say.. I get lost in this series of books that John Connolly has been writing? First, it was The Book of Lost Things and now, I was lucky enough to get an advanced reader’s copy of The Land of Lost Things and read that as an adult. The premise of all Read more

    Break in the Routine

    I am trying to do something different than going to a restaurant or a bar for our date night tomorrow but it seems that won’t really be possible given that it’s a work day and our date will be after 5 pm so we don’t want to hike too late and commute too late. One Read more
