scary stories
Hi!
This is my last newsletter of 2017. I’m heading to Dubai and Sri Lanka for a few weeks (and I’ll be posting photos @hello__theo) but I’ll be back in January with my “Best of 2017” list.
this week’s style icon:
Sarah Bernhardt
what I’m clicking:
Falling out of love with airbnb | Taxi therapy | The Disabled Flaneur | Stop trying to make Armie Hammer happen | Cat Person and the uproar it caused
what I’m listening to:
Dirty John podcast! It’s terrifying and I hated every minute but you need to go listen to it now.
what I’m writing about:
That time I went to see Cats and it was the most confusing show on earth.
what I’m reading:
Gabriel Tallent
This book is absolutely horrific, but I couldn't put it down. It is probably one of the most intense books I have ever read and I'm not sure I can recommend it--but if you like to be completely devastated by a book every once in awhile, this one’s for you.
Did it make me cry: Yes.
Did it make me laugh: No.
Did it make me miss a subway stop: Yes.
Would I recommend it: Yes, but once you start you have to promise to finish it. Just when you're about halfway through and things are really looking up, it gets bad again. Really, really, horrificly bad but you've already made it this far and you can't give up now. Really, don't give up.
Would I read it again: No thanks, too scary.
Would it be a good movie: I would not watch this movie.
