(There are tons of pics…you’ve been warned) This started with a wedding invitation from my fabulous-famous-in-law-executive-hippes.

Good Reads – Expand your literary horizons into the future.

I admit it – I am completely geeking out over The Martian. No, I’ve not seen the movie yet, but I will.  Let’s rewind to a book I read this spring that changed the way I pick books from now on.
