Paris vs. New York: The Dog Round

The Hounds of New York Vs. The Pooches of Paris

When Rachel saw this postcard, she immediately began questioning her French, because she only knows the above French phrase “une crotte” as, well, a dog’s mess (pardon our French). Either way, it did bring back memories of living in Paris. Our good friend from college just got a puppy and we’re too jealous to evenRead On >>

The Story of Our Book

An Informal Dialogue

The good people over at Book Country asked us to interview each other about our forthcoming book, Graduates in Wonderland.

Felicity's Back and She's Falling in Love on an English Estate

Felicity was one of our favorite shows when we were in middle school (whoa 1998!).
