Now that the stores are full on Christmas…as well as TV channels…
To Read: Ghosted by Rosie Walsh. I thought this was an interesting love story- not without fault, but a slightly different twist on love and fate.
To See: Beautiful Boy- movie in theaters. This is a tough movie for parents as it deals with a teen sinking into the depths of addiction, but I thought it was well done. Apparently the book written by David Sheff is even better
To Listen: I put this weeks playlist on shuffle and these are the first five things that came up:
- La Boeuf sur la Toit Op. 58 Milhaude- beautiful piece
- Nine Inch Nail- Ahead of ourselves
- USA for Africa- We Are the World
- Madonna (Timberlake) 4 Minutes
- Rufus Wainwright- Going to a Town
To Read: Living Forever Chic: Frenchwomen’s Timeless Secrets for Everyday Elegance by Tish Jett. I sort of love these lifestyle books. I’m going to do a blog about this for anyone interested in what I learned and what I interpreted from this
To Do: New York Botanic Garden- Kiku- There are Japanese chrysanthemum that only bloom for about two weeks a year, which happens to be now. Spectacular. I will be doing a picture blog this week about them.
To go to: Morgan Library: It’s Alive! Frankenstein at 200. Fantastic exhibit if you are a fan of Frankenstein and the genre it’s created. This book is especially timely in todays environment, and the movies are just fun.
And that wraps up my week!
Shalom
I’ve been reading a number of those “french chic” and capsule wardrobe type books recently. They haven’t grabbed my attention like I was hoping, so I’m very interested to read your take on it

New York City is so pretty during the Christmas season. I always enjoyed Lord & Taylor’s windows and then having a cup of great coffee or hot chicken soup at the little diner across from them. I imagine times and places have changed but it is still a great city for the holidays.

So sad. They were such a big part of my life in New York. I wonder if they are closing their doors or just in New York.
