Violet gets Tony noms!

Violet gets Tony noms!

As I mentioned last week, I had the pleasure of seeing Sutton Foster's latest musical, Violet, on Saturday. Based on the story The Ugliest Pilgrim by Doris Betts (author of Beasts of the Southern Wild), Violet is a story about a young woman's journey to be healed of her disfigurement. Along the way, she meets two men who will prove to mean more to her than she could ever imagine. Growth and healing come in forms that Violet never expected when she hopped on that Greyhound

This just in on Facebook wall from my awesomely brilliant and snarky friend at Hot Mess, More or Less. I plan on doing The freakin' Carlton when I get there! Read the article here: Spain begins search for remains of Don Quixote author, Miguel de Cervantes #migueldecervantes #donquixote #hotmess

Tomorrow, I will be breathing the same oxygen as Sutton Foster. I will be in the audience for her latest show, Violet. Not only is there the Bunheads connection, but it is produced in association with AS-P and Daniel Palladino! Interested in staring at Sutton seeing this show too? Go to the Roundabout's website for tix! #suttonfoster #bunheads #broadway
Facebook Friday!

Facebook Friday!

Please to be ignoring this ratchet custom graphic. It'll be better next Friday, I swear. And it couldn't have come sooner! This week was a little lean on the Facebook-ing, but I'm hoping now that BW&R has it's own Facebook page (like me on Facebook!), we'll have more material for next week! #facebookfriday

PBS Kids brings the thunder!

PBS Kids brings the thunder!

To my fellow book lovers, if you have a child, I highly recommend this show. Super Why! is a PBS Kids show that celebrates the power of reading by following The Super Readers through various classic tales as they solve puzzles and play games. The show is completely book-centric (the show starts off in a library, their headquarters is called "The Book Club" and is in the shape of a giant book...) and you know I'm trying to force this on Lorelai so I can convince her that it's
Bear Allen's heaven!

Bear Allen's heaven!

I just purchased my ticket and I couldn't be more excited! ESPECIALLY after John Green announced that he'll be on a panel. Between the free taco lunch here at work and this... this is officially the best Wednesday ever! BookCon will be at the Javits Center in NYC on Saturday May 31st. If you're interested in joining me and my good pals John Green and Jonathan Tropper, check out BookCon's website. #johngreen #jonathantropper #bookcon

Possibly coming soon to a neighborhood near you... Little Free Libraries!

In September, Husband and I moved to (what I'm assuming will be) our forever home. It's perfect for us, in a beautiful neighborhood in the town we wanted to be in. It is exactly where I want Lorelai's childhood (well, the idyllic one in my head. She's only 11 months... I still have Pinterest-rific parenting dreams. Sue me.) to take place. And now I'm kicking myself that we purchased a house at the very end of a cul-de-sac (plural is cul-de-sac, not culs-de-sac. Never f
