Tonight, I’m packing my bags and packing my books (well, downloading my books to Kobo), because I’m about to head to New York. Am I going for the restaurants, the shopping, the sites? No. (Well, yes — I hope to fit some of that in.) But, really, I’m going for […]
It seems everyone’s excited for the release of Baz Luhrmann’s version of The Great Gatsby, hitting theaters this Friday.
