I am a voracious reader and every week I come across either a book, online piece or website I want to share with others. I’ve decided to curate these gems and highlight them on Friday. I hope you find these faves as insightful as I do.
- Why are you unhappy? Turns out most people are unhappy for the same reason.
- How long does it take to break a habit?
- What to Say When You Meet the Angel of Death at a Party. Don’t skip this piece.
- What is Yale’s most popular class? Find out here.
- Wondering how someone’s social media following is growing exponentially? It might surprise you.

What were your favorite reads this week?
Welcome! I am a lawyer turned freelance writer, essayist, and editor. On staff at Literary Mama and the co-founder and co-editor of the literary journal, The Sunlight Press, my essays and reported work have appeared in The Washington Post, The Lily, Saveur, Civil Eats, Brain, Child, ESPN and elsewhere. I am currently at work on a memoir on grief and culture and how it provides perspective on life’s ordinary graces. I invite you to appreciate the ordinary with me. I hope my daily practice of seeing the magic in the mundane helps you celebrate and find more of these moments in your life too.
Rudri,
I’m sure you don’t remember me, we’ve met before at a reading. I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your Friday favorites. I look forward to them and am always a little surprised…in a good way. Enjoy your day,
Bobbi
