This past week I decided to make one last go at squeezing in a book before the year ends. I’ve had Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn on my radar for quite awhile, and happened upon the Kindle edition for a couple bucks. I’m only a few chapters in, but so far I’m hooked.

The short, one sentence version: Gone Girl is a psychological thriller that volleys between a husbands account of his wife going missing, and the wife’s diary entries starting at the early days of their relationship.

Mysterious enough for you?

Christmas is fast approaching and I’m sure many people out there are still frantically trying to track down that one specific gift for a special someone. I want to share a website I recently used to find a Playstation 4 (a birthday gift for Konrad).

It’s called whohas.it?, and it works exactly how you think it might. Once you’ve created an account, you can add products that you’re hoping to find, and tell it whether to contact you via email, text message, and/or browser notification when the product becomes available on a number of sites. The PS4 has been notoriously hard to track down as it was recently released, and there’s no way I would have scored it without this tool. I set it up to send to my email, and luckily I was at work and looking at my inbox when the message came in. I immediately bought it, and by the time I finished checking out, Best Buy had sold out already! Crazy, right?

Side Note: This post is not sponsored, I just wanted to share something that honestly worked awesome for me (I had been checking various sites every morning hoping to find them in stock). I hope it works for you too – happy shopping!
