Thank you to all my dear Litsy friends who have reached out during this difficult time. 💕💕 I took a lot of your advice, and relistened to my favorite Sedaris book while I did a fun redo of two bookshelves when a friend was able to help me unload. I spent today enjoying rearranging until they felt right. It was really therapeutic, and I‘m happy with the results!! They‘re the ones I look at when I read before bed, so I wanted them perfect! 😁😁

LiteraryinPA These are so beautiful! It‘s great that they feel right now. And good for you for doing something proactive during this hard time to bring you some joy. I agree with everyone who said that the books will be here when you‘re in the mood for them again. Just take care of yourself however you can on any given day. 💗 9mo
Megabooks @LiteraryinLawrence thank you so much!! 💙💙 9mo

Perhaps stretching things for today‘s prompt but highlighting a favorite cookbook that has the word #SmokeOnCover 💨🩶

Although there is a section smoking food, my favorite recipes that I make often are the easy & oh-so-delicious Spiced Feta in Olive Oil & Persian Marinated Olives. Linking to the recipes in the comments below. 😋⬇️

There‘s less about his family in this collection than in others I‘ve read so far. It‘s disappointing, if only because his family seems a veritable goldmine of comic fodder (I have a particularly soft spot for his foul-mouthed brother). But When You Are Engulfed In Flames isn‘t lacking in comic characters, even if they‘re not related to Sedaris. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/when-you-are-engulfed-in-flames-david-sedar...

Coleen Agree. His family stories are the best. 2y

Some of these (short) stories I really enjoyed but most were just not my sense of humor or felt rather unmemorable. #ReadingGiftedBooks

Continuing on my #SedarisSpree (which I totally just made up, but does happen to be a thing), in preparation for seeing him next month!! 🙌 I mean, the man just doesn‘t disappoint. Though there are a few dated parts, it did not take away from my enjoyment of this kindred spirit‘s shenanigans. I listened to the audiobook which is the only way to go with his essays. I mean, utterly hilarious. I can‘t get enough. Next!

Megabooks This is my favorite Sedaris! 3y
