The book I read in secret as a kid

Foreverby Judy Blume.

One weekend I carelessly left it on the coffee table.

I will never forget seeing my dad pick it up to see what I was reading.

I must have been 10 or 11.

I dove across the room and grabbed it, then turned red and ran to my room.

There was something that struck me to the core about Anna.

The last TV show I binged

Game of Thrones.

I was late on this one.

My husband has always been a huge fan, but I never watched with him.

I was always learning lines and felt like I didnt have time.

Then on my hiatus one year, he asked me to watch.

It happened to be the Red Wedding episode.

I had to go back and watch from the first episode.

The last book that made me laugh out loud

The Bedwetterby Sarah Silverman.

There are chapters that make you howl.

Her and Louis C.K.

[riding an elevator naked]!

God, I wish I had been there!

The last album I listened to

Blackstarby David Bowie.

I bought it when I heard he had passed away.

Kept trying to imagine what it must have been like to know you were dying while writing these songs.

My all-time favorite movie

Being There.Chauncey Gardiner!

A man of little words.

I love that he just says, I like to watch.

Chauncey would always be there in my head saying, I like to watch.

The TV show that doesnt get its due

Black Mirror.I think they made only six of them.

Each episode uses different actors and different stories, but they are all tied together through technology.

Brilliant on all fronts.

Very scary, and I hate being scared, but I couldnt stop watching.

The first album I bought with my own money

Breakfast in Americaby Supertramp.

I know every lyric of every song.

And when I hear it now, Im immediately back in sixth grade.

The last book I read

M Trainby Patti Smith.

I didnt want it to end.

I could smell the coffee she talked about.

I loved learning about obscure authors I had never heard about before.

I started to take notes, to educate myself.

I love reading books that inspire me to read more books.

What a gift she gave me.
