Hi Everyone, I’ll be going to Los Angeles to hang out with Kimberly for almost a whole week! We will be taking in some sights, living out our Masterchef dreams, and watching some questionable movies.

I haven’t really talked about anything beyond books and the occasional movie on this blog, but I think I might try sharing more about my daily activities, what do you think?

Since I will be on a plane tomorrow, I thought I’d share some links today to tide you over until the next This Week in Review.

• Ben Carson: “Pompeii Victims Should Have Outrun Lava”
• Svetlana Alexievich wins the Nobel Prize for Literature – have you read anything of hers before?
• We Ate the Children Last
• Oprah has a Faulkner Glossary that is really helpful if you, like me, are trying to work your way through The Sound and the Fury.
• I’m a little late, but I have recently become obsessed with Conquering the Classics. I’m excited to see what she reads next.

That’s all for now, I’m excited to share my adventures with you when I get back! I hope you stay warm, drink a lot of coffee, and snuggle up with a good book or television show this weekend.
