I was going to cold-turkey quit Bravo TV, specifically Real Housewives which is my drug of choice, and read more.
GASP.
Full confession: I still read the EW recaps of each episode, I mean, I'm not a sadist. I'm someone who wants to make sure the Richards Sisters on RHOBH are still narcissistic nut jobs.
But alas, I was saying goodbye to Andy Cohen's little 3 ring circus and saying hello to finally updating my Goodreads account on a regular basis.
So far this resolution has actually been fantastic. I set a goal of reading 50 books this year (I'm also a nut job, I know) and am at 16 books and counting. Favorites so far have been:
Seating Arrangements
This will be a great summer beach read. A waspy family with dirty secrets plans a New England wedding. Hilarity and some messed-up incidents occur.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Have been meaning to see the movie (we all love ourselves the adorbs Emma Watson) but now not sure if I want to because the book was so good. I literally finished it in one day.
That Woman: The Life of Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor
The original scandal-maker. This book did a great job telling the drama surrounding the woman who forced King Edward to abdicate. Fun fact: There is much speculation that Wallis Simpson was actually a hermaphrodite.
Snobs
It is about super rich Brits. Julian Fellowes wrote it. He created Downton Abbey. Do you need any other reasons? No? Ok good.
Stay tuned for more updates as I proceed to abandon RHONJ (I still am trying to reconcile with myself on that one) and proceed to read every word Jay McInerney has written about wine. Cheers!
