Weekend Reading

I intend for my weekend to look a lot like this picture. I'm spending the weekend burying myself in bar prep and reading Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare. I haven't had the time to fully dedicate myself to that book, and I know it deserves my attention. If you're looking for some distractions while running errands, here are some of my favorite reads from this week!

Are you planning a vacation but you just don't know where you want to go? Take a look at this article by Buzzfeed which basically outlines my dream trip to New Orleans. My friends and I are planning to go either this fall or early next spring!

And I leave you with this perfect post to get you over the Sunday Night Scaries. Nothing beats a good meme.
