4 Songs We Already Love From the Everything, Everything Soundtrack
Are your playlists lacking a punch lately? There's a new YA movie on the horizon, and we're already obsessed with the soundtrack. OK, OK, the official soundtrack for Everything, Everything hasn't been released yet, but we've gathered the four songs from the trailers, and we like where this is headed. The movie is opening on May 19, and you can check out the songs below!
What Women Going Through IVF Need on Mother's Day - According to Molly Sims
Molly Sims knows that as families across the country gear up to celebrate Mother's Day, there are also women struggling more than ever on this particular day. Although the actress and mom-of-three has a lot to be grateful for this year, she is all too familiar with the other side: trying to get pregnant and enduring infertility treatments in the hopes of becoming a parent.
Before eventually conceiving naturally three different times, Molly froze her eggs and went through two rounds of IVF. Now that she has her hands full with three kids under 5 years old, Molly is a pro when it comes to what busy moms actually need for Mother's Day - as well as those who are still struggling to conceive.
For those who have infants and toddlers at home, Molly curated a collection of her favorite gifts in partnership with eBay, and proceeds benefit Baby2Baby, a nonprofit charity that provides essentials for low-income little ones. But as you shop for the amazing mom in your life, Molly doesn't want you to forget about those who are hurting in silence on this particular day.
"It's tough because it's a really hard pill to swallow," Molly told POPSUGAR. "You just have to be supportive of the mom, check in with her, and not be afraid to say anything or acknowledge it because it might hurt her feelings - nine times out of 10, it won't."
Another thing to keep in mind is that these ladies are constantly reminded of what they don't have, even if you don't say anything at all. "It's very difficult to want something, and with Facebook, it's like Big Brother, because once you start googling, all of a sudden your feed becomes baby and you're not even pregnant yet," Molly explained. "It's weird how everything in your face is about baby, especially during a sensitive time like Mother's Day when everything else is about Mom, babies, kids, and family."
In addition to surprising a hopeful mom-to-be with a soothing item, like a candle, this Mother's Day, there's another priceless gift that can help during her journey. "I think the one thing about going through infertility is that it's a very anxious time, so anything that can bring down her stress is really good," Molly said. "Getting involved in different charities, like Baby2Baby, which I did before becoming a mom, is so great even for women who don't have children but want them, because they're helping babies and families in need who have absolutely nothing. Volunteering also takes the focus off of you and what you want and puts it on something else. Sometimes you need that because instead of thinking about [infertility], you just want to try to get through it."
But the most important thing to remember, especially on Mother's Day, is that not having kids isn't always a choice that childless couples make and your words are more powerful than any gift you could give. "When someone says that they don't have kids, it doesn't always mean that they don't want kids or aren't trying," Molly added. "Infertility is like this little hidden secret and sometimes you don't know what others are going through."

Everything We Know About the Balmain x L'Oréal Lipstick Collection So Far
Try not to scream (or faint) with excitement, dear makeup addicts. Word around town is that L'Oréal Paris is teaming up with French fashion house Balmain for the capsule lipstick collection we've been waiting for. If it's anywhere near as fabulous as the Balmain x H&M clothing line from a few years ago, this upcoming collab is sure to be the source of our newest lipstick addiction. After all, couture + affordable cosmetics = a literal dream come true.
The highly anticipated line will include 12 new shades that fit into three different color themes, according to WWD. Although we don't have many details on exactly what shades will be included, it seems like Olivier Rousteing, Balmain's creative director, has had a say in the color-making process. Considering the fact that Rousteing is the fashionable genius behind some of Kim Kardashian's and Kendall Jenner's signature looks, our expectations are pretty high.
A L'Oréal Paris representative told POPSUGAR that the collection will be available in select US retailers starting in September 2017, so mark your calendars and start a countdown now! Other than that, both brands are being very mum on the whole thing so far, but the teasers ahead have us itching for more intel. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.

Neon Lips Are Here to Make You Look Like an Intergalactic Space Diva
The latest out-of-this-world makeup trend that's about to take over Instagram? Neon lip art! We've already seen (and swooned over) the edgy 3D effects of neon eyeliner, but now the blinding, '80s-esque trend is making its way to our pouts. We hate to indulge the overused term, but it's pretty darn lit, if we do say so ourselves.
We first came across the neon lip look via talented makeup artist Genevieve Jauquet, who regularly stuns us with her impressively artistic beauty skills. To achieve the one-of-a-kind pout above, Genevieve dabbed on a black lip cream in the center of her lips, followed by a matte pink one to fill in the outer edges. Then, to get that glowing effect, she followed up by using a thin brush to swipe on white lip cream near (but not touching) the edges of her top and bottom lips. Her personal finishing touch? Glitter! The results are a lightsaber-like look that both Jedis and space divas would approve of.
Ahead, see how Genevieve and other committed beauty mavens put their lips in the spotlight with this luminous, hypnotizing trend.
12 Things You Never Knew About Orange Is the New Black
We're just over a month away from June 9, when the much-anticipated fifth season of Orange Is the New Black magically appears on Netflix, and we couldn't be more excited for the new episodes to drop. You still have tons of time to catch up on where your favorite characters leave off (or, if you'd rather, read exactly how things go down in the finale), but while we can only speculate at this point on what's to come, there are a few things we know for sure about one of the most loved Netflix series of all time. So, to hold you over until the new season: here are 12 things you never knew about OITNB.
- Jodie Foster has directed two episodes of the series. The legendary actress directed the third episode of season one (where Crazy Eyes falls for Piper) and the first episode of season two (when Piper is moved from Litchfield.)
- Katie Holmes almost played the role of Piper Chapman. But she was too busy. Creator Jenji Kohan said at the time that Holmes "had other things to do." But to be fair, she also added that "in the beginning, no one knew what this was." Oh, and Laura Prepon was almost Piper too.
- The actress who plays Yoga Jones is the voice of Patti Mayonnaise. If you close your eyes, you can almost pretend that she's the legendary love interest in the classic cartoon Doug.
- In the episode where Piper first meets Larry, he's watching Weeds - another show created by Jenji Kohan - and you can see it on the TV in the background. Seriously, go back and look for it. It's there.
- The real-life Larry actually did write a Modern Love column in the New York Times. And you can read it here.
- Nicky's scar from her post-overdose surgery is the real deal. Actress Natasha Lyonne suffered from the same issues with addiction as her character in the show.
- Laverne Cox's twin brother played Sophia in her pre-transition flashbacks in season one. Cox wanted to play the role herself, but "Jodie Foster, who directed the episode in which Sophia's backstory is explored, didn't think it would work." Cox's brother, M. Lamar, is a musician who described himself to The New York Times as being of the "gothic-devil-worshiping-free-black-man-blues tradition."
- The real-life Piper made a blog in 2003 about her time in prison. It's called The Pipe Bomb. Kerman ended up writing a memoir (also titled Orange Is the New Black) that inspired the show.
- All of the women in the opening credits were formerly incarcerated. There isn't a single actress in the entire sequence - and if you look really closely, you can see Piper Kerman in there too.
- Flaca has kissed Kourtney Kardashian. Yes, Jackie Cruz was on Keeping Up with the Kardashians in 2009.
- The same inmate is always crying behind Piper when she's on the phone. You didn't imagine it - Gerrman is always there, and most of the time she's weeping over her wrestler son.
- We still have no idea what the meaning of the eggplant joke really is . . . And we're still holding out hope that we'll find out in the future. But in the meantime, here's a pretty solid theory.

The Hardcore Hike Leading to This Secret Water Slide in Hawaii Is a Wild Adventure
Hidden in Waipio Valley, HI, is a 35-foot water slide that looks like something straight out of a story book. Why is this incredible slide so secret? Well, the hike to get there, known as the White Road Hike, is difficult and dangerous. In fact, state officials would prefer that you didn't take the trail. You have to make your way through dim tunnels and winding jungle paths to make it to this epic location.
Despite the potential risks, many people still journey to the secret slide so they can experience it for themselves. It's made out of an irrigation flume that transported sugar cane over a century ago. In order to get to the top of the slide, you have to hang onto a rope as you climb up a steep hill. Since you're technically not supposed to go to this wildly thrilling location, you can just enjoy the pictures and videos of other adventurous visitors.

5 Reasons I No Longer Hate Mother's Day as a Single Mom
As you can imagine, getting divorced with a 1-year-old was not in my original life plan. Unfortunately, being a single mom became my challenging reality. Those early days were extremely difficult for us. I traveled for work, I didn't have family where I lived, and stress levels were at an all time high. When I think back to that first Mother's Day after divorce, I remember it as a very sad and lonely time. After my first single Mother's Day passed, though, I slowly began to gain some perspective.
As with anything, the further you get away from hurt and upset, the more objectively you can view things. After a couple years, my perspective has changed entirely and I'm able to really appreciate my situation, my son, and my new life. In the hope that the insight I've gained can be helpful to others, I've detailed five reasons I no longer hate Mother's Day.
- I learned to plan. After finding myself a single mother to a 1-year-old, I hadn't prepared myself for how hard Mother's Day would be. When you let a holiday sneak up on you and you don't have plans, you may find yourself feeling very alone. What I do now is make plans with other single moms to do something together with our kids so we all can have a great day.
- I ask for what I want. I used to feel as though I was putting someone out by asking for what I wanted out of Mother's Day, but I have changed this situation. Now I ask for exactly what I want. If that means I want my son to draw me a picture and make me a card, I ask for that. If it means that I want to go to a fancy brunch with my son and friends, I let it be known. Asking for what I want has made me feel good.
- I have dropped the guilt. There was a time I would feel guilty for being divorced or for doing things for myself. I have since decided that guilt doesn't benefit me and instead I am going to feel good about my decisions and putting myself first. For Mother's Day, if I want to get a massage, I ask my ex to take my son for half the day so I can have some me time. Dropping guilt from my life has been freeing.
- I have let go of perfection. Growing up, I had always envisioned a "perfect" life where I was happily married and had a few kids. Today, I am divorced with one amazing child, and letting go of this "perfect" fantasy that never existed has allowed me to appreciate the amazing and unique life that I have created. Having one son and being a single mom means I get to spend a lot of one-on-one time with the most amazing little boy, and that makes me happy.
- I have decided to focus on me. When you are feeling upset or disappointed it is easy to focus on what everyone else has or does, which can be problematic. Comparing yourself to others is a recipe for disaster. Deciding to focus on myself and look inside instead of outside has allowed me to get to know myself better and feel empowered about my situation. Keeping the focus on me has brought me more happiness and gratitude.

Do Yourself a Favor and Watch Chris Pratt Demonstrate His Ideal "Humpin' Tempo"
If you're curious about the tempo at which Chris Pratt prefers to hump, you're in luck, because he talked about just that when he sat down with Stephen Colbert on Monday. During his appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Chris talked about his mix-tape-making abilities - or lack thereof. After creating an awesome mix for his brother, he felt confident in his song-curating skills, but when he tried to make a love-making mix for his wife, Anna Faris, things didn't go as planned. Please, please take some time to watch Chris Pratt describe why the mix didn't work, because (spoiler alert) he does an absolutely hilarious demonstration of his ideal "humpin' tempo." File under: yet another reason to love him.

Do Yourself a Favor and Watch Chris Pratt Demonstrate His Ideal "Humpin' Tempo"
If you're curious about the tempo at which Chris Pratt prefers to hump, you're in luck, because he talked about just that when he sat down with Stephen Colbert on Monday. During his appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Chris talked about his mix-tape-making abilities - or lack thereof. After creating an awesome mix for his brother, he felt confident in his song-curating skills, but when he tried to make a love-making mix for his wife, Anna Faris, things didn't go as planned. Please, please take some time to watch Chris Pratt describe why the mix didn't work, because (spoiler alert) he does an absolutely hilarious demonstration of his ideal "humpin' tempo." File under: yet another reason to love him.
13 Reasons Why: Will Selena Gomez Appear in Season 2?
13 Reasons Why was originally planned to be adapted into a feature movie starring Selena Gomez as Hannah, but as production delays came up, Gomez decided she was too old to play the high schooler. Eventually the project moved to Netflix, taking on a miniseries format and completely blowing all expectations out of the water. Now that season two is on the table (but not officially confirmed), we're wondering if there's a possibility that Gomez could appear in new episodes.
While Gomez has publicly spoken about why she chose to be an executive producer rather than a star, she hasn't commented on whether she would consider appearing in future episodes. She has spoken out about the blacklash that the show has been facing due to its graphic portrayal of teen suicide, but until we get official word from Netflix that season two is on the way, I doubt she'll chime in about acting.
Obviously Hannah is now played by Katherine Langford - and who knows if there will even be an opportunity for Hannah to appear in season two - but perhaps Gomez could star in another role. We have a few ideas for how the show could expand beyond the story in Jay Asher's book, including prequel or sequel episodes, and we're even wondering if the series would take on a format like Skins and feature an entirely new cast and storyline. The latter route would make it easy for Gomez to slide in as a new character!

The Snatched Cast Reveals What Amy Schumer Is Like on Set
When a movie like Snatched features the likes of Goldie Hawn and Amy Schumer, you know you have to assemble a supporting cast that can hold their own alongside these two leading ladies. POPSUGAR was lucky enough to sit down with Christopher Meloni, Ike Barinholtz, and Wanda Sykes - the seasoned comedians that help Snatched shine.
Ike dished on some of the best improvised scenes in the movie, while Chris talked about his notorious ability to keep a straight face during the most ridiculous scenes. When the cast gets into a game of "Who's More Likely?" about Amy and Goldie, we find out just how hilarious it is to work behind the scenes with these two incredible women.

Katy Perry Compares Obama to "Old Black Hair," Sh*tstorm of Backlash Ensues
When Katy Perry dyed and chopped her hair a few months back, many fans started comparing her new look to Miley Cyrus, and to be honest, the resemblance was rather uncanny. But now the singer is comparing her fresh 'do to an unlikely public figure - Barack Obama - and the internet is pretty damn pissed about it.
During a recent Instagram live session, the singer addressed a series of fan questions, one of which referred to missing her old hairstyle. When Katy read the comment aloud to the camera, she replied, "Oh, really? Do you miss Barack Obama as well? Oh, OK. Times change. Bye! See you guys later."
I'm sure we can all do without @katyperry right ??? #Loser http://pic.twitter.com/r9bQcuaCBi
- DJ SCREAM (@DJSCREAM) April 30, 2017
So essentially Katy compared dying her black hair blond to Donald Trump taking over Obama's spot in the White House. Aaaand cue the facepalm. As soon as she uttered the remark, she looked around at her surrounding friends and awkwardly said, "I should leave now," after which someone off the camera said, "OK, you're cut off." Talk about awkward.
When the internet caught wind of this contentious comment, it erupted in a multitude of tweets criticizing how insensitive it was. Read on to see a few candid reactions to the controversy.
Good morning! Barack Obama will always have more Grammys than Katy Perry. Have a great day!

It Took Gwyneth Paltrow Less Than 1 Second to Name Her Favorite Designer Bag
When we spoke to Gwyneth Paltrow on the red carpet in NYC, the only accessory she had on was her Frederique Constant smartwatch. Fitting, since the actress and businesswoman was promoting her new collaboration with the brand. "It's the first time I'm wearing it!" she said excitedly, showing off her sleek timepiece. Gwyneth told us she'd use it to jazz up any LBD, describing its special details: "I think this is a black face with some diamonds on it, so that's a nice evening look."
Though she's a natural when it comes to mastering outfits at fancy events, we had to ask about her laid-back yet sophisticated street style - and that's when another major accessory came into play: her handbags."I tend to have Céline bags a lot. I carry them a lot," she said quickly. After a little digging, we discovered that Gwyneth's go-to design is a cobalt-blue luggage tote, but she's got some neutral options too. Read on to see shots of Gwyneth with her Céline, which just might convince you to invest in one (or a similar silhouette).

Yes, the Baby Is Gripping an IUD in This "Mirena Fail" Birth Announcement
Upon giving birth to a nine-pound baby on April 27, a new mom was surprised to find her chosen birth control method hiding among her placenta. In a hysterical birth announcement that has since gone viral, she shared a staged shot of her newborn gripping her IUD. She captioned the photo, "Mirena fail!"
Although intrauterine devices - or IUDs, as they're commonly called - are 99 percent effective at preventing pregnancies, Lucy seems to have been a part of that rare 1 percent group. As she noted in one of her hashtags, "The Force was strong with this one."
Lucy's post has since received thousands of shares on Facebook. In a comment, Lucy clarified that her obstetrician was aware of the IUD and had planned on searching for it soon after she gave birth. Thankfully, the obstetrician was able to find it and ultimately contribute to this incredible shot.
A Letter to My Baby on Our First Mother's Day
Dear Baby,
This is my very first Mother's Day. Actually, it's our first Mother's Day. Before you, I would have seized any chance to celebrate me - I loved birthdays, I never minded being the center of attention. I'm a Leo, after all. But I can't take all the credit this time. I wouldn't have this holiday without you, for it's you who made me a mom. Mother's Day isn't about me. It's about you and me. Us.
Before you were ever born, for nine long months, it was me alone who carried you.
The day you came into this world, the moment we met, it was all about you and me, too. Sure, Daddy was there, but it was my arms - prickly and warm from the rush of adrenaline - that held you first. It was my bare chest that you needed to rest upon. It was my heart beating that helped regulate yours.
Your first few weeks, others got to hold you. But it was my body that sustained you. It was my milk that kept you growing, ounce by ounce. Pound by pound. It was still about you and me.
Soon, you started to take a bottle, and others got to feed you. But it was me who spent every waking moment with you. It was me who read you books and played with your toys as you watched, curious. It was me who noticed the slightest of changes - a glance held longer than usual, an arm extended by will and not just reflex. It was you and me.
After a few months, I went back to work, and someone else got to spend those days with you. But it was still me who would be at your side at all hours of the night, whenever you stirred. It was me who would wake up to the softest of rumblings to soothe you. It was me who was there with you at 3 a.m. when the world was dark and everyone else was asleep. You and me.
But then, you began to sleep through the night. After a few evenings, stretches of six hours then eight hours and then 10 hours, you no longer needed me there. And I cried.
I cried because I had to accept that it wasn't always going to be about just you and me. Of course, of course you'd still need me. But, with every passing day, week, month, it became clear that you were gaining independence. That you won't be a baby much longer.
Soon, you won't need me to carry you. You'll start to crawl, then walk, then run. When I'll try to hold you tight, you'll wriggle free, eager to explore the world outside my embrace. Soon, you won't need me to change your diapers. You won't need me to dress you. You'll want to pick out your own clothes. You won't need me to feed you. I haven't yet begun to mash up tiny slices of apple or cut up your chicken into bite-size pieces, but soon even those tasks will pass us by. You won't need me to read to you. You'll be able to sound out the words, and soon comprehend them, on your own. Eventually, you won't need me to listen to your stories, answer your questions, solve your problems. Of course you'll still want me to, I hope, and I'll oblige, but we'll both know you can do it on your own.
I only have so much longer when it's still really just you and me. In no time, your life will be filled with family, friends, classmates, teachers, and confidantes.
So this Mother's Day, our first Mother's Day, I'm not going to sleep in, however much I could use the rest. I'm not going to take Daddy up on his offer of a spa day, however much I could use the break. I'm going to be right here, holding you tight. Just you and me.
Love,
Mommy

14 Zumba Videos to Ricky Martin's Songs That'll Have You "Livin' La Vida Loca"

A Multimillionaire Reveals the Best Thing About Being Crazy-Rich
Let's say you were handed $8 million today, no strings attached. What would you most look forward to about being rich? Buying a nice house or car? Traveling first-class? Quitting your job and enjoying all that unstructured time? According to one multimillionaire app developer on Reddit, none of these things comes close to the biggest satisfaction he gains from being rich: using his fortune to make others happy.
The millionaire, a Redditor named regoapps who says he's in his early 30s, admits that there certainly are aspects of happiness that money can buy. For example, the freedom of not answering to anyone is sugar-sweet. Not having to set an alarm or impress a boss is a huge relief. Additionally, being able to splurge on things that will save you time - for instance, skipping the TSA lines at the airport with Global Entry - is gratifying and makes you feel like you bought back all that personal time.
The best kind of splurging, however, is the kind you do for others. Regoapps sums up the best part of being rich like this:
It sucks to feel like your hands are tied and you can't help others. That's how I used to feel when I saw people struggling financially and I didn't have the money yet to do something about it. Nowadays I have funded other people's kids' college funds, tipped people much more than what I was paying for, custom built an Iron Man suit to cheer up kids at hospitals, helped get clean water to villages that before didn't have access to it, and etc. It feels great to be able to help, especially when I can do it anonymously and just walk away.
When it comes to spending money on others, I just splurge. Spending money on myself doesn't always make me that much happier. But I noticed that when I spend the money on others, they feel very, very happy. And seeing them smile makes me smile, too.
So maybe it's true that money can't buy love - but it can provide that warm and fuzzy feeling that comes from helping others.

Michelle Obama Addresses the Melania Trump Gift Meme
One of the most talked about moments on Inauguration Day was a seemingly awkward moment between Michelle Obama and Melania Trump. But, according to Obama, the moment was more about trying to hold back her emotions than anything else.
In case you forgot, on Inauguration Day, when the new first lady and president of the United States arrived at the White House, Trump greeted Obama and handed her a gift. The moment was captured by ABC News and showed Obama's puzzled face as she wondered where to put the gift. The internet was quick to say Obama's face was a reaction to the incoming Trump presidency. But at the American Institute of Architects conference on April 27, Obama revealed what her actual emotions were. The former first lady said she was beginning to realize these were her last moments in the White House - a not-so-easy moment, especially for her daughters, who grew up there.
"So that moment of transition, right before the doors opened and we welcomed in the new family, our kids were leaving out the back door in tears, saying goodbye to people," she said at the event. Obama said she didn't want to have tears in her eyes to avoid any backlash. "I didn't want to have tears in my eyes because people would swear I was crying because of the new president," she said, according to Today.
At the conference, Obama told the audience that Sasha and Malia's last night at the White House involved a slumber party with friends. "They had a sleepover, because of course on Inauguration Day, because my girls are so normal, they're like, 'Well, eight girls are gonna be sleeping here because it's our last time, and we want pizza and we want nuggets.' And it's like, really?"
This was Obama's first public speaking appearance since Inauguration Day, and we're glad to see her back in the spotlight.
Meet the Growing Cast of Dark Tower, the Latest Stephen King Film Adaptation
It seems like it's been an eternity getting Stephen King's iconic series, The Dark Tower, to the big screen. Finally, though, the film has a release date and a trailer, and even more cast members have been added to the roster. Previously, Stephen King announced the first two stars on his Twitter account. In a cryptic tweet about the project, the horror master said, "It's official: The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed." He also tagged Matthew McConaughey and Idris Elba, insinuating that they'd been locked into the production. Elba and McConaughey quickly jumped in on the Twitter conversation, thereby confirming their involvement in the film and who exactly they'd play. Keep reading for the full rundown of cast members, and get excited: this is sure to be a wild ride.
"It's Not Too Late For Us": Hillary Clinton on Fighting For Women's Rights
Hillary Clinton is back - and she's reminding women to continue advocating for their rights and to never give up. The former presidential candidate spoke at a gala honoring Planned Parenthood's 100th anniversary and touched upon reproductive rights, walking in the woods, and The Handmaid's Tale.
The gala, which took place on May 2 in New York City, was Clinton's second appearance of the day after first speaking at Women For Women International event. This time, she spoke less about the election and Donald Trump's tweeting habits and more about the progress that's been made in women's reproductive rights. Clinton even alluded to the popular book and TV show The Handmaid's Tale to make a point of how that fictitious reality might not be too far off.
"Now I am not suggesting this dystopian future is around the corner, but this show has prompted important conversations about women's rights and autonomy," she said. "In The Handmaid's Tale, women's rights are gradually, slowly stripped away. As one character says, 'We didn't look up from our phones until it was too late.' It is not too late for us. But we have to encourage the millions of women and men who support Planned Parenthood's mission to keep fighting."
"It's far healthier than screaming into your television set. Resist, insist, persist, enlist."
Clinton, who was there to receive Planned Parenthood's Champion of the Century award, also told the audience her new mantra - and suggested they follow it. "Some of you have heard me say that I have this new mantra that had popped into my head during one of my long walks in the woods," she said. "I highly recommend long walks in the woods. It's far healthier than screaming in your television set. And so, just remember forwards: resist, insist, persist, enlist." You can watch a clip of the two moments ahead.
at Planned Parenthood gala, Hillary Clinton mentions #HandmaidsTale as cautionary: "It's not too late for us." http://pic.twitter.com/acDCBNO122

11 New Books Worth Reading in May
You know what I love about the Spring and Summer seasons? It's suddenly socially appropriate to break out the chick lit (a term I use endearingly). Fall and Winter are for heavy books; when I head to the admittedly shady part of the beach, I like to bring a fun, easy novel with me. Maybe I got it at the airport. Who knows? This May, plenty of new books are being released, and amongst the recipe compilations and self-help guides, there are a handful of truly interesting reads. Here are my picks for the month ahead!

So that you can plan out your emotions accordingly, here's a list of the shows that we know are airing their final episode in 2017. As you read, please hum the lyrics to Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)." Thank you.
