My favorite finds from around the web:
• 13 things to do instead of comparing yourself to others.
• Some people are Cohens, some people are Dylans.
• 19 beautiful bookstores you need to visit in America.
• Inside the world of judging the Man Booker Prize. “It’s more exhausting than I anticipated! It’s less daunting at the moment than when we did the heavy lifting between January and July, which is when you read all the submissions. We all read about 160 books! That comes down to one a day. Since then, the workload has decreased but the stakes have increased.”
Also found: Jane Austen’s Love & Freindship, starring Kate Beckinsale and Chloe Sevigny, is now available to watch on Amazon Prime.

Congrats on the new puppy! She’s very cute.
Thank you for posting the link about comparing yourself. It’s just what I needed to read today.
Our family, very unexpectedly, adopted a new puppy, too. We had not been looking to add to our pet family, but she needed to be rehomed and we jumped in and said yes! We have a 6 month old GoldenDoodle named Charlie. She’s a handful and adorable.
Congrats on your puppy!
Who else is now planning a cross-country bookstore road trip? Okay…maybe not planning, but dreaming for sure!!!!
Such great links. I especially love the comparison post – such a timely message for me. Really enjoying getting to know your blog! Monica x http://theliterarylady.blogspot.co.uk/
Great links! While I’m decidedly a “Dylan” I am no more or less productive than my “Cohen” friends. (I’m also a procrastinator.) I wonder if it’s because I feel like taking so long with a project exhausts me, so I like to knock it out, but the Cohens of the world feel that putting all of their energy into something all at once is too exhausting.
Congrats on the puppy!
