I have too many book-related things to talk about to save them for tomorrow's regular post, so I thought I'd dump them all here today.
Cooking from... Jessica Merchant's The Pretty Dish. I have the dough for her Chocolate Crinkle Sprinkle Cookies in my fridge chilling right now, and I have high hopes, considering pretty much everything I've ever cooked from her blog (How Sweet Eats) has been delicious. I don't buy a lot of cookbooks these days, but I have utilized her blog on so many occasions that I felt compelled to support her with a pre-order.
Needing... an audiobook for our upcoming road trip to Yosemite. I tend to listen to mysteries (but ones a tad more cerebral that your typical mass-market dime store sort of who-dunnit) and memoirs/autobiographies (but not ones bogged down with excessive facts and figures). Suggestions? I need them super soon.
Currently reading... The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin, which has gotten rave reviews by so many. I'm only twenty or so pages in, but I am enjoying it so far.
A little bummed about... last week's book club. I was in a sleep-deprived DayQuil fog and had to leave a bit early to pick up Sawyer, so I feel like I was not a stellar book club participant this time around. We read Homegoing and I loved it, so it's unfortunate.
Just purchased... Notes from a Public Typewriter, on a whim, after seeing it on the Belletrist Instagram feed. A bookstore from Ann Arbor (I think?) set up a typewriter for patrons to use and collected some of the best notes and messages from over the years.
I recently listened to Jane Harper's The Dry and it was gripping (that's coming from someone who doesn't listen to many audios and doesn't really like mysteries...).
ReplyDeleteI just finished Educated by Tara Westover - it was a VERY interesting memoir. Not sure about the audio but the ebook was excellent.
