Sara: Pop Culture Superlatives

I will be the first to admit I have a problem. In regards to my very specific pop culture loves of course. I can’t help but think about when my favorite people are releasing new books/albums/ movies and obviously it’s my duty to keep you in the loop. Here’s what’s on my mind as we approach the end of 2014:

Yes Please by Amy Poehler – October 28th

Tina, Mindy, Lena and FINALLY Amy. I am so ready for this—I may or may not have had my copy pre-ordered for the last few months #noshame. I’m saying goodbye to any hope of sleep Tuesday night because I know exactly what I’ll be doing. Oh and PS, Mindy is coming out with a new book in the Spring, thought you ought to know.

 

Classics By She & Him – December 2nd

Last week, She & Him finally announced via Instagram that their next album would be released in December. I get it, Zooey’s a busy lady with her show and all but it was a tease to announce at the end of the summer that an album was coming out “soon.” I couldn’t be more excited for this next volume, a collection of “oldies” covers recorded with a 20-piece orchestra.  Their sound has a full-bodied vintage feel, making them my absolute favorite band. If you haven’t heard of them PLEASE do yourself a favorite and check them out. The She & Him Pandora station is my absolute favorite for studying/walking down the street/anytime anywhere. If you go to their website sheandhim.com and tune the radio there to 1202AM, you can preview one of their tracks.

 

Wild – December 5th

Although I admire Reese Witherspoon, I wouldn’t count her in my favorite category but nevertheless I’m really looking forward to the release of this film. Wild was always that book I saw in the bookstore sitting on the “staff recommended” shelf. Seriously, everywhere I went it seemed to live on that shelf so finally I decided to buy it and read it. It’s a truly empowering story about a woman who takes on all 1,100 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail by herself with very little training following a tough period in her life. Thanksgiving break (which is a few short weeks away!!) is a great time to pick up this quick read, so why not give it a shot— you wont be disappointed.
