Friday, you’re my fave. This is another one of those weeks that dragged on, but hey, we made it, and now it’s Friday. I’ve been participating in a read-a-thon all week (I’m attempting to start and finish 7 books!) and so far it’s been going well. The goal for the weekend is to take advantage of the extra hours for reading. Other than that, I have no major plans, although I wouldn’t be surprised if I went to brunch one day or enjoyed some time in the park. Here are a few good links to carry you into the weekend:
– It’s been a long time since I clicked on to the Cosmo website, but I really enjoyed this interview with Jill Abramson, the first female executive editor of The New York Times.
– Hallie curated an awesome guide of things to do in New York City this summer.
– A great article from Zadie Smith on what it means to be addicted to reading.
– Chelsea shared the loveliest film photos from her recent trip to Italy.
– I’m not sure why, but I’ve been listening to this old Juanes album on repeat this week and it’s still so good.
– I found it interesting to read these thoughts on designing a book cover.
– Solange is on the cover of Lucky Magazine’s August issue– my love for her continues.
– I just heard about this cool tumblr called Subway Book Review. This blogger snaps pictures of people reading on the subway and asks them to give a mini review of the book.
Hope you have a good weekend!

Thanks for including me, girlfriend! Hope you have a great weekend.
Of course! I loved your post and it gave me lots of ideas on places to visit and things to do. Hope you have a great weekend too!
I LOVE the Subway Book Review. What a great idea! Kind of like Humans of NY, but better. A friend of mine was photographed while reading in the subway but I’m not sure by who: https://scontent-b-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/t31.0-8/461268_3918750765437_783571747_o.jpg
A cool concept!
Very! Although, if I was really into a book, I probably wouldn’t want to be interrupted! haha
Oh, that’s so cool! I’m always trying to get a peek at what people are reading on the subway, which is why I love this.
