Beautiful pieces of writing… but poorly strung together.
I‘d try another book by Percival Everett, so pls feel free to drop recommendations in the comments 😬

I‘m still at the beginning and it‘s slow, but I‘m plowing along. Can anyone tell me if this picks up? 😬😬

Cinfhen Stick with it!!! It all comes together beautifully 3y
Soubhiville It‘s slow paced throughout, but as @Cinfhen said, the wrap up makes the book! 3y

The Secret Garden | Frances Hodgson Burnett

A very charming children‘s classic... as long as you ignore the racist commentary. The book is from 1911 so I wasn‘t terribly offended but... 🤷‍♀️

Good morning fellow readers! I‘m sneaking in a few pages while my vegan frittata cooks 😊😊

ImperfectCJ What do you put in your vegan frittata? My family is moving along the continuum towards vegan and always looking for ideas. 4y
Qpri @ImperfectCJ I‘d say I‘m also somewhere along the continuum🤗 The batter is 1/3rd cup chickpea flour, 1 tbsp almond milk yogurt and some water. I added turmeric, onions and cilantro- but you could do any veg/spices/herbs. (edited) 4y
ImperfectCJ @Qpri That sounds tasty! I put chickpea flour in zucchini fritters, but I hadn't thought about giving it center stage. On my list to try tomorrow! 4y
Qpri @ImperfectCJ It‘s a great way to up the protein. And I‘d never thought of adding zucchini so thanks for that idea! ☺️ If you want to buy chickpea flour for cheaper, def check out any Indian store nearby and pick up a bag labeled ‘besan‘. (edited) 4y

I‘ve done a lot of heavy reading this quarantine. Now thinking of kicking off the summer with a light and fun read. This one has mixed reviews... anyone care to comment? 😬

marleed I liked it. For me going into a JW book that she create MCs that will challenge me. I‘m typically not a fan of influencer books because the characters are often caricatures of self-indulgence. But I thought JW addressed that world in an interesting way. 4y
Qpri @marleed I‘m glad to hear it!! Thank you 😊 I actually haven‘t read any of her other books. Heard her on the What Should I Read Next podcast and decided to try this new book of hers. 4y
