so-soI actually got to see David Sedaris speak last week (2nd row!!) and he was amazing. I had no idea he had a children‘s book out… so I grabbed it from the library, wondering what kind of children‘s story would he write? Well, let‘s say it‘s for a very specific audience as it‘s a fine line between scary and funny. I found it funny, but would hesitate to broadly recommend to children. And Ian Falconer was an amazing artist.
Iffffff you want perfectionnnnnn 🎶
Just got home from seeing ‘Death Becomes Her‘ on Broadway. Just as campy and hilarious as the movie. 🍿 🤣

panThis one really fell flat for me.
The plot was a cut and past of the previous books in the series with only a slight variation in the exact location of where things went down. The characters have had no growth throughout the series and it‘s made extremely clear in this one. I wouldn‘t continue and read the last book in this series but as I own it and Specials was supposed to be the last in the series I do plan to read on and see what Extras adds.
Listening to this one today! 🎧 ❤️
Finished this one and felt a little “preachy” to me 🤷🏻♀️

pickA good dive back into this series. It‘s interesting how much of this is still relevant.
I think Netflix did a pretty good job overall of bringing this to screen.
Happy Saturday!! I‘m currently listening to the first two and reading the physical copy of Ashes!

pickInteresting series of essays on the darker histories of beautiful things-silk, marble, make up, perfume, and more. The author is a confessed lover and collector of beautiful objects. For each chapter Kelleher shares a history of an item along with her own thoughts on the nature of desire, beauty, consumption, and the ethics of how these valued items came to be. This book is for folks that are fascinated by deep dives into the minutiae of stuff.
I kinda love his take.
