Maybe not furiously, but I'm sure happy

One of the perks of being a librarian? I am reading this book right now and it doesn't officially come out until Tuesday!!

I am a happy camper ... although I have to try to finish it before Monday evening so that it can go out officially on our shelves on Tuesday. And I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to read stuff before it officially comes out anyway, but I CAN'T NOT. It's Jenny Lawson.

Jacqueline Taieb

٩(๑∂▿∂๑)۶♡ .....  I am OBSESSED with Jacqueline Taieb!!! ..... ٩(๑∂▿∂๑)۶♡

I got a random book and then CD from my library about ye-ye singers from the 60s, and my favorite songs by far from the compilation were both by her! So of course I listened to them over and over, learned them in French, translated them into English and loved them EVEN MORE (if that's possible!).


"La coeur au bout de droigts" is possibly my new favorite song of all time/my theme song ... A wonderful person on a forum translated it beautifully, and I'm in love with this song especially. Taieb is an amazing songwriter as well as singer!

My love affair with greige

My favorite nail shade of all time is GREIGE. There is some dissention by now about what color actually constitutes greige, but to me it is a blend of tan, purple, and grey; you could call it a purple-tinged beige or a warm, rosy grey. It seems to have started "trending" in fall of 2010. No doubt some of this was due to  Lady Gaga, who went through a greige phase around that time, appearing in Vanity Fair decked in the color and also wore it on her nails to the VMAs that year.
