Loved the video with the bookish women. It is so nice to see women portrayed with brains while also into their music.
I will go back and check out a few more of your links. Thanks!

Ah – I’m going to have to read that. I’m in love with her essays and I’ve been hearing so many wonderful things about her Dear Sugar column. I’ll have to check it out soon and then read all the backlogs. Wasn’t it anonymous at some point? My library is just now ordering Wild but I will have to get it as soon as they have it in stock – YAY!
