I hope you’re facing a long, long weekend…
My favorite finds from around the web:
• My year of making time to read (plus a most memorable books list). Good strategies (and good reads!) for anyone who wants to read more in the year to come.
• The secret life of “um.” “A full second is about the limit of our tolerance for silence. Then we will either assume the other person’s not going to respond at all, and we just keep speaking, or we might pursue a response.”
• My year of no shopping. By Ann Patchett! “The trick of no shopping isn’t just that you don’t buy things. You don’t shop. That means no trawling the sale section of the J. Crew website in idle moments.”
• 5 old school holiday classic films to stream now.
Favorite instagram: I snapped this just before I put all the book jackets back on. After shot coming soon. Follow me on instagram @annebogel.
