The author of this article read 100 books in 2015. She breaks down her reading challenge my month. Each book is listed along with a rating out of 5 and how many days it took her to finish the book. My reading challenge this year is 75 books. Even if I don’t succeed, the real goal is to read more than I did last year and to make reading a priority.
READ/LISTENED: Adele’s New Album 25
I purchased Adele’s new album last week. It’s heartbreakingly sad but gorgeous. It’s been my soundtrack for all of the rainy days of late. While interneting I ran into this article, How to Make Listening to Adele Even Sadder. The author is driving in the car with her 3 year old daughter as she asks about Adele’s song Hello. It’s a sweet exchange about love songs and what music makes us feel. FAVORITE SONGS: Send My Love, When We Were Young, Sweetest Devotion
“Her: Why’s she yelling?
Me: She’s yelling because she’s sad about someone.
Her: We need to make her laugh.
Me: Yeah, I don’t think we can do that right now.
Her: What is he yelling about?
Me: She. She’s yelling because she misses someone far away she loves very much.
Her: So she has to be loud?
Me: Yes, because she wants that person she loves to hear her.
Her: Because she’s far.”

WATCHED: Lena Dunham in conversation with Caitlin Moran
This hour long interview discussion was inspiring. It was the first thing I watched that made me excited to make things again, excited to say something. As one would, I was supposed to go to bed and instead crocheted a stocking and stayed up until 3am. They discuss feminism, racism, writing processes and everything in between.
HUMOR: Why Dating a Bisexual is Hard
If The Onion made a video about bisexuality, this is what they would make. It is dripping in sarcasm and sass.
Martin Shkreli is the real life Mr. Burns from The Simpsons. He hiked a medications price by 5,000%, then received a huge backlash. The New Yorker wrote an onion style humorous piece about his lawyer hiking his fee 5,000% just because he could.
