Happy Thanksgiving! How are you spending the week? The boys headed out this morning, and I’m already missing the little reminders of them around the house. My dad is arriving soon, which I’m really looking forward to. Wishing you a wonderful holiday—make sure to enjoy all the potatoes! Here are some interesting links I came across this week:
- The Secret Agent, a new Brazilian political thriller, looks intriguing.
- This is currently at the top of my holiday wishlist.
- Sex had become a chore, until some couples started reading romantasy. As one reader shares, “I’m connecting with these female main characters and the way that they feel wholly seen.” (NYTimes gift link)
- Take a look at this stunning winter garden!
- My favorite sheets ever are now 25% off.
- “I’m in charge at this Hertz location, and, buddy, you’re not getting a car today.” This hilarious story about strict rental rules made me laugh.
- Here are some great movies to watch with your family, like Roofman and Tears of Endearment.
- Who else wants to lounge on the sofa and have a good conversation?
- This sweater is perfect for date nights (and there’s up to 30% off everything right now).
- Check out these fun street style photos—especially the sisters in Paris and a fabulous statement hat. (NYTimes gift links)
- Some people can visualize images in their minds, while others can’t. (Take this quick test to see which group you’re in.) Interestingly, those who can’t often skip descriptive passages in books or avoid fiction altogether.
- I’d love to wear these shoes to holiday parties.
- Leslie Jones brings laughter and saves Thanksgiving.
- Hahaha—sometimes you just need a good laugh.
Plus, I loved these thoughtful reader comments:
Tracey on 25 things to say to your children: “I have always loved teenagers. The tension between childhood and adulthood is so endearing. One minute they have deep conversations about global politics, and the next they’re excited about a stuffed toy or fruity cereal. I’ve always told my kids how excited I am for them to grow up and that they’ll be such great teens. Now we’re here, and I get all the stories! I love their moods and obsessions. Tell your kids you love teenagers.”
Rae replies: “Yes! Teenagers are wonderful, intense, curious, and still children. They’re fragile, no matter how tough they seem on the outside.”
Allyson adds: “I like to tell my daughter that if we were kids at the same time, I would be psyched to be friends with her.”
