New York City that particular August gave me the feeling of walking in a sauna. My hair tripled in size and my face "glowed" without a drop of highlighter.
Since Christmas and my birthday are a mere eight days apart, it's no surprise my TBR, which includes another shelf of hardbacks (not pictured) multiplies considerably. Apparently my love of books isn't exactly a secret.
Friends. Seinfeld. Felicity. Gilmore Girls. LOST. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. I adored all of these TV shows because of the setting, the writing, the plot twists...but mostly? I loved the ensemble casts.
