I don’t know why, but I have just been in the mood for quick reads these days. While scouring the internet for inspiration, I came across Claire Keegan, whose short stories and novellas are immensely popular. My local library happend to have a few on hand, so I picked up the novella Small Things Like These and short story, Foster, to get started.

Weekend Movie Review
Honestly, my plan was to watch more films this weekend, but I didn’t do too bad! I ended up splitting my time with Tom Blyth and Emma Thompson.

Sometimes when I visit New York, I like to see what celebrities are gracing the Broadway stage. It typically won’t be for musicals, so I was pleased to see that the stage adaptation of Dog Day Afternoon was going to be showing with stars Jon Bernthal and Ebon Moss-Bachrach!

This is the most time I’ve spent at the theater over the weekend in a long, long time. I managed a double feature one evening and then decided to ga back twice another day. Great success! The real reason is that I know a lot of other good movies are coming out in the next two weekends, so I don’t want to get behind and I want to catch them in case they get booted too quickly.
