What can I say, it's been a slow week in the world of books and book-adjacent news.

Tom Hanks is releasing a book of short stories, and no one cares.

There are lots of Joan Didion think pieces because of the successful Kickstarter campaign to fund a documentary on her, but I won't even link to them because you should just use your time to read Joan Didion, not about Joan Didion.

Lena Dunham is a lightning rod for controversy again. She is never as bad as anyone says, but that doesn't mean I'm defending every single decision she has ever made. I'm just getting tired of feeling the need to have an opinion on her anymore.

Finally, I'm sketching out the blog schedule for 2015 and would love feedback and suggestions. What kind of posts would you like to see? What books do you want me to read? Let me know in the comments section.
