The Enneagram
The enneagram personality test! I know Myers-Brigg well, so this one is newer to me but also interesting. Your top three scores are your strongest tendencies. I’m types 2, 4, and 6. And yeah, I kind of like that I got all even numbers.

Me Before You Trailer
I had no idea that the smashingly successful novel Me Before You by Jojo Moyes was headed for the big screen until I saw this trailer link on Facebook this week. I’ve not read the book, but watching this trailer made me want to. I’ve now put in a request at my library and there are probably about 82 people in front of me. Here’s hoping I get it before the movie comes out!
