My cousin's daughter was told she has to read more non-fiction because that's a big focus of the reading curriculum. But why?? There's a lot of wonderful children's non-fiction out there (better than her textbooks, probably), but shouldn't her teachers be commending her on what she is reading rather than telling her…

And the Institute for Museum and Library Services.

Wishbone answered that eternal question: What would the literary canon look like if all the protagonists were dogs?

I always get a lump in my throat, but I think it's because Adrienne Shelley's daughter played Jenna's daughter. And then Adrienne Shelley didn't get to see the release of the film.

But Keri, why lose the curls? We curly heads used to have so many tv celebs to emulate. Now there's almost no one left. (I'm also looking at you, Julianna)

Really? I quite like The Good Place, Speechless, and Fresh Off the Boat.

Elementary started strong, then lost steam after a while.

How can that be an RCT? How would the study participants not know what health insurance they did or did not have?

Actually, it's a linen/wool blend.

I admit to feeling the feels when Carrie Fisher showed up.

That's awful. :(

And there are SO MANY FAMILIES who film their very young children every day of their lives and make money from it on YouTube. Even if abuse is not involved, when did this become acceptable and not exploitative?

When is there going to be a miniseries about Roger Williams? He was such an amazing man.

Best Worst Thing is definitely worth a watch. If "Our Time" makes you cry, have tissues at the ready when viewing it.

Most of Manhattan isn't like that. Just stay away from Midtown/the Financial District M-F 9-5 and Canal Street all the time.

I am a big fan of Catastrophe, but I wouldn't call it light and fun.

And because she only published 10 poems during her lifetime.

She's on Broadway right now in the play Oslo, and is wonderful and amazing in it.

Or the original Broadway cast recording of Newsies.

Sondheim's working on one. http://www.playbill.com/art…
