Great books I have read/want to read since I last blogged about great books I read/wanted to read

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...to conclude, my favorite "I Should Have Read This Six Years Ago When It Was a Choice on My High School Summer Reading List Book," discovered as being beyond brilliance by yours truly in the past two weeks...

You can't always get what you want. But sometimes you do.

As of Fall 2009, my Kathleen Kelly, Upper West Side life will finally, finally, FINALLLLLLLLY begin.

Apian Splendor

My anti-wedding wedding dress.

I have always said I don't want a big wedding. I am not that girl. No big venue, no big guest list...no guests at all, actually...Cape Cod saltbox church, a pumpkin cheesecake, maybe a nice sail afterwards complete with lobster rolls and flip flops - or fisherman sweaters if it's winter. And me, wearing a black, no-frills anti-wedding wedding dress.

That is, until I saw this.

This resplendent piece of attire that has "KATE" written in every crevice and stitched into every seam. And dammit, now I am going to have to cave and be cliche and wear a white dress.

This if, of course, all completely hypothetical, seeing as I am at least ten years away from the big day.

But us Type As have to plan in advance, of course.

Oh, crap.

I love this. Primarily because the honey picture reminds me of The Secret Life of Bees.
