I am not sure why every cool 22 year old girl having a martini in Chinatown on a Friday night does not have this book in her purse. It's one of my favorite short story collections. Jen George’s fiction is whip-smart, funny, sexy, and gross. This book is like Weetzie Bat meets Rabelais. Yum.Â

This is my best friend's favorite book and now it's my favorite book. And now she's a librarian, so you know it's good. Whimsical tale of a girl in LA and NYC in the 60s-70s.

just trust me on this one, this book slaps. short story collection by octogenarian debut author who used to be a psychologist and has keen understanding of human nature. completely flips society’s expectations of kindly sexless elderly women and presents a collection of stories of old women who are still very much horny, difficult, complicated, cynical, etc. plus the cover is cool af.

I very pathetically and desperately read just about anything promised to appeal for "fans of Gillian Flynn". This is the 1 in 50 that delivers, and not as a rip off or homage, but its own specific dark jewel. Just a riveting and very awful (positive) novel. So rarely does something capture this part of childhood, the very primal and un-socialized us vs. them, me vs. you, jealousy and confused pre-maturity longing and disgust. Crazy!

This is one of my favorite artists. I found out about Onfim because I was trying to learn a little bit about Old Church Slavonic. Onfim was a little boy who did his great works on birch bark c. 13th century. Location: Novgorod. Onfim drew awesome self portraits where he is on a horse, killing his teacher with a pitchfork. Onfim did most of his great works at age 7. His dream job was to be a famous warrior. I wish I could draw like him. He was so uninhibited.Â

Recently, I decided that after almost three years of being single, I was no longer interested in being an itinerant sex crystal. It was a pretty fun time, but I was ready for something more. This meant it was time to get a boyfriend! I met my boyfriend because we were set up on a blind date. It's awesome to be in a relationship. I would recommend getting a boyfriend. My boyfriend and I just went to Paris!

For a really long time, I thought I did not have hobbies. I don’t enjoy crafting. I cannot play team sports because I am very uncoordinated. I am a terrible baker. I am terrible at any tabletop games that involve strategy. Recently, I realized I actually do have a hobby! My hobby is practicing my French. I have been trying to master the French language since I was about 11 years old. There’s nothing I love more than having a few cocktails and finding a French person to practice with. That’s my hobby!
