Short Books to Finish in a Day or Two
- The Grownup by Gillian Flynn - This is technically a short story, but whatever. It's so fun and quirky, it involves a con artist and a ghost and has one of the best opening lines of any book ever.
- I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reid - I was not into this book at all for the first 50 pages but I'm so glad I stuck it out. It's scary but you aren't going know why you're scared, and you won't get a full picture of everything that's happening until the end of the book.
- Rabbit by Patricia Williams - The comedian Ms. Pat's memoir. She has a way of telling a story and then dropping an outrageous detail so casually. I really enjoyed this one!
- Tender is The Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica - A dystopian world where there's government organized cannibalism, it's disturbing and hard to read at times but it's really good, and the ending is chefs kiss.
- Death in Her Hands by Ottessa Moshfegh - It's a little weird and kind of a murder mystery, but more so about the creative process of writing a murder mystery. Loved it!
Founder Faves
- I've been sleeping like a baby with the ELMNT Triple Sleep magnesium capsules .
- Still have the vase for an expensive candle, but don't want to pay $80 for a new one? Boojee has you covered.
- One hour delivery on all the top fashion brands is now a thing thanks to Ole.
- We went to an amazing wedding in a Mexican town called Merida that we'd never even heard of. Close to the ruins and beaches, it's an old-world city with beautiful churches and architecture that's also the second safest city in all of the Americas.
- Our toddler loved petting the stingrays at The Frost Science Center in Miami.
- I'm always on the lookout for comfortable, versatile, sockless footwear. I've told you about Rivieras, but you also need to check out Sabah (they also have a store in the West Village).
- The St. Ember from Little Saints is a non-alcoholic "spirit" that, for me, is basically focus in a bottle thanks to a spike of Lion's Mane.
- In 2009, along with my college roommates, I started The Boston Winter Ball as a way for young people to get involved in philanthropy in a fun way. The 16th Annual BWB is on February 10th, is incredibly fun, and last year raised $2.1 million for The Corey C. Griffin Foundation. Join if you can!
