Not going to lie… my reading has been suffering some. Between buying a house, moving into said house, and running a half marathon, my focus has been on other things. Reading a book of short stories helped some – more stop and go then others.

I’m sure most of you have heard of it. It swept awards shows, Nicole Kidman gave a few speeches, so did Laura Dern. And drumroll please… Meryl will be on season 2 (MERYL!

Let me start with one note… I read this book in two day. Two days. Two days of wishing the bus ride was longer so I could keep reading, two days of reading before falling asleep (which I usually don’t do anymore), two days of a great read.

You know her from Into the Woods, Pitch Perfect and Trolls. Maybe you even remember she was in Twilight (I do). Apparently she also wrote a book!

I know it has been awhile - almost 2 weeks to be exact. But, when I went to the library (not at lunch this time – big change for me!) when I was almost done with my last read, I picked up not 1, but 2 books, and they were meant to be read and talked about together.
