Welcome to Litsy!

#MarchMunchies #risotto Is there risotto in this book? I don't know as I can't seem to get it off of my #TBR stack & read but Stacey Ballis writes good foodie fiction, so maybe!?I chose the book for the match to my bowl of risotto. It's already bookish risotto as I listened to "I'll Be Gone in the Dark" while I stirred last night. This is Ina Garten's Easy Parmesan Risotto except I made it stovetop instead of oven as I like the zen of stirring!?

Delightful!

Why is it that so often these books are about women who have these lives that sound just magical to me - but they are closed-off unhappy spinsters underneath? Do I just really want to be a closed-off unhappy spinster and I don‘t realize it? 🤷🏼‍♀️

I need a palette cleaners after a few heavier reads. This is next up.

Days 16 & 17 #FallIntoBooks #ListLovers #DifficultWomen Catching up on photo challenges over my favorite home version of avocado toast with spicy garlic aioli & a few chapters of this foodie book. It features 3 high school friends reunited on the cusp of turning 40 & each making lists of things they want to accomplish before they get there. I'm not classifying these women as 'difficult'-but friendships often get that way as we grow & grow apart.

#TBRtemptation post 7! Recently released. Eloise is a successful private chef with a corgi & perfect chocolate cream pie recipe.

Day3 #AndItsAugust #forfontssake Although I haven't read these books from my #TBR stack (except for The Manchurian Candidate) the different fonts on the spines--from cursive and detailed to stark and simple, seem to capture the mood, subject and the story inside of each book. I don't buy books for font's sake but I appreciate the beauty of a good font choice. 👍📚
