What I’m reading: Vol. 30.

Nightstand: The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater. A good friend with great taste in books recommended these, and I’m having a great time with these so far.

Coffee table: Duchess By Night by Eloisa James. Eloisa James is delightful.

Audiobook: Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling. This is so great on audiobook.

Internets:
