One More Thing by B.J. Novak - I loved these essays, short stories and paragraphs that make up Stories and Other Stories. The critics don't know what to call this great collection of writing about all kinds of different topics and situations, so they flail around and just generally recommend the book, which I do too! (B.J. would never use an exclamation point, but I use it so that you'll read the book.) B.J. played Ryan on The Office, and if you think reading this book will help you to know him any better as a person, don't get your hopes up. The book confirms that the guy is super smart, a super thinker, and super funny. But he's still distant while trying to make you think that he isn't. Which makes him all the more alluring. So read and enjoy and thank me later for the laughs and the thinking that are inspired by these story chapters with titles and occasional discussion questions.
Her Heart On Her Sleeve: I live in a suburb north of Chicago, and I read, bead, make jewelry, sew, watch TV and movies, crochet, craft, decorate, go to house and garage sales, walk and go on beach walks, listen to music, take pictures, cook and bake, read, and write about all of it on herheartonhersleeve. I have a companion blog called Jewlery by Dianne Sophia at diannesophia.blogspot.com where I write exclusively about my jewelry.
Jewelry By Dianne Sophia: I have been collecting vintage jewelry since I was a girl growing up in Detroit, and have been designing and making jewelry for 15 years. I love to work with pearls and crystals, semi-precious stones, Sterling Silver and Gold, along with vintage beads and materials. I delight in combining shape, pattern and color in new ways. I'm inspired and influenced by my travels and experiences as a reader, writer, photographer and student of life. My blog herheartonhersleeve.blogspot.com chronicles my life in art and popular culture.
