The Third Gilmore Girl


I adored this audiobook narrated by the actress herself. It was charming and engaging and wasn't too long. The perfect memoir. I only knew Kelly Bishop from Gilmore Girls so it was a real treat getting to learn more about her life, her career on Broadway, TV, and films. Kelly seems like such an enduring and insightful person and I love that she didn't just gloss over her life, she bared a lot. Listening this really makes me want to do another Gilmore Girls re-watch! 

The One-in-a-Million Boy


Such a heartwarming and heartbreaking book that really tugged on my heartstrings. Ona Viktus is a feisty 104 year-old and she doesn't know what to make of the 11 year old boy who is been sent to help her out every Saturday. He likes things to be organized by tens, chores to be done in a certain order, and knows practically every single Guinness World Record. He gets it into his mind that he has to help get Ona in the running for oldest woman and the two of them find themselves looking forward to every weekend. She even agrees to let him interview her for a class project. They are an odd pair, but they both find themselves becoming friends despite their nearly 100 year age gap. One Saturday, he doesn't show up, his father Quinn does. What unfolds next is tragic, heartwarming, and a wonderful journey. Loved this story so much!
