Best of the web:
• Ten thoughts on hosting Thanksgiving from Shauna Niequist. “People are serious about Thanksgiving food, and most of them are practicing some sort of complex strategy for how to consume a staggering amount of both turkey and pie. ..”
• How to make your last name plural this Christmas season. “Nothing quells my Christmas cheer as quickly as a stray apostrophe. Every year they assault me.”
• Male TV host wears same suit for a year; no one notices.” Of course they didn’t.
• British authors’ houses on Google maps. “One thing we’ve learned: Most authors lived in very posh houses, except Rudyard Kipling who lived above a branch of Eat.”
On the blog:
• A very bookish Christmas countdown. (I got so many great Christmas book ideas from the comments on this post!)
• Simplicity, productivity, and the personal uniform. (Yes, that is really my closet.)
• Gorgeous books for giving (and receiving).
Have a great weekend!

I had read about the reporter who wore the same suit every day, buy I didn’t know WHY. What a great guy!
I loved that story. 🙂
I don’t know when Rudyard Kipling lived above Eat but he is well known for living at Bateman’ s (now owned by the National Trust).
I just read aloud the article about making last names plural with my husband — SO FUNNY.
I am a relatively new reader of this blog and it has quickly become the first blog I check on Feedly. I learn about so many interesting things here- this time I thank you for introducing me to this company!
Welcome, and thanks for the kind words. 🙂
I always wondered about the rules for last names. English is my third language and we never learned the useful stuff at school 😀
Love your link collections!
