This meant taking the time to do my research and choose a translation that would give me just that.. First, I had to decide what I personally wanted out of a translation.LITERARY DINNER

When you think of Shakespeare, generally it's his tragedies and darker plays that come to mind, but his lighter rom-coms have always been my favorite, especially A Midsummer Night's Dream.Honestly, part of it is because it was the first live play I ever saw, on a beach in Lake Tahoe during their annual Shakespeare Festival. THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO BEARTOWN, US AGAINST YOU How exciting, then, that Beartown has a sequel. The highly anticipated Us Against You, is released today (you can read the description here)!The awesome perk of being obsessed with books and apart of the Bookstagram community, is getting to read books before they're officially released.

It’s based on the life of a 1930’s anthropologist named Margaret Mead and was a really unique premise.

As the weather continues to push toward summer, we find ourselves spending an increasingly large amount of time outside. It’s truly wonderful to bask in sunshine, the fragrance of lilacs, or in the shade of a big old maple tree. This article came up when ILITERARY DINNER
Anne of Green Gables was a MUCH anticipated dinner party that we’ve talked about doing for far too long. We know it’s a childhood favorite for so many people, but neither of us had ever read it. Rikki was finally inspired to pick up the novel this summer and read it cover to cover (having only prevLITERARY DINNER
So our buddy-read for June was The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It was Rikki's first time reading it, and my fifth since it's a favorite re-read for me! We normally see Gatsby parties done in an explosion of black and gold, and while those elements are fun, we were shooting for so ON BEING A MORNING READER If there's one thing I hear regularly, it's that people wish they could read in the morning.
