Links I love and what’s on my nightstand.

My favorite finds from around the web:

• 24 books that perfectly match New York Fashion Week looks.

• The ultimate fall to-do list. (For people who hate fall but pretend to love it.)

• 7 things I learned about myself from getting a dog. I loved this, especially because we’re considering trying again with a new puppy later this fall.

• Stop googling. Let’s talk. “Our texts are fine. It’s what texting does to our conversations when we are together that’s the problem.”

What I’m reading this week:

I’m listening to Mindy Kaling’s new book Why Not Me? on audio.

On the blog:

One year ago: Are you a savorer or a speed reader? In which I probe a fault line among readers.

Two years ago: Why you are the way you are. As far as personality theories go, this was my first love.

Three years ago: Balance isn’t a see-saw. It’s a game of twister. A better metaphor for balance.

Have a great weekend!

I finished Mindy’s new audiobook last week and it was very cute and entertaining. Sure made a long drive more interesting.

The Fashion Week-books connections were interesting. I was struck by the expressions on the models’ faces. I know that it is considered appropriate to look haughty and bored, but some of them looked downright mean and angry.

  I was too busy comparing the dresses to the books to notice!

That ultimate fall to-do list was the best. Oh, how I hate fall.

I just finished Why Not Me? this morning and loved it even more than her first book! I hope you share more about what you think of it, especially the last essay on confidence and hard work.

I just finished the Why Not Me audiobook today. I think the last chapter is worth getting through the whole book. And as a single 30 year old the chapter on being a bridesmaid hit WAY close to home, she perfectly put my exact feelings on all my friends getting married.
