just finished: It’s Kind of a Cheesy Love Story, a ya rom com set mostly in a pizza place. It’s adorable, lots of fun, and yes, cheesy. It’s right there in the title! I also read a new cookbook, No-Recipe Recipes from The New York Times Cooking. It’s filled with easy recipes you can throw together. Basically it helps recipe readers improvise in the kitchen, and it’s filled with great-looking (the photography is exquisite!) and simple “recipes.” I’m planning on trying the Ham and Cheese Pasta Shells with a Handful of Peas later this week. And I finally, reluctantly, finished Brat. It’s so lovely, but I don’t want to say too much yet. It’s not out until May.
currently reading: I was less than an hour from finishing the audio book of The Survivors on Friday when my ear bud died on me, so finishing up that book is first on my list tomorrow. It is twisty and lovely and Australian. Highly recommended! And I’ve just barely started The Windsor Knot, where Queen Elizabeth II solves crimes. It’s as fascinating and lovely and droll-ly funny as it sounds. And a dark ya thriller, The Last Secret You’ll Ever Keep, which has a powerful opening chapter! And I’m still reading Too Good to Be True, the domestic thriller about the married man who just got engaged to his new (rich) girlfriend. It’s good, but it’s long and things have been super-busy at work, so my eyes can only take so much of staring at screens. I can’t wait to see what happens though!
up next: Now that I’ve finished my Andrew McCarthy memoir, I’m on to the next celebrity memoir I have waiting for me, Leslie Jordan’s How Y’All Doing?, which comes out in late April. And as it’s Audible Credit Day, I opted for the new Anne Lamott, Dusk, Night, Dawn. I am so looking forward to listening to that! And I opened the door Friday to head to the office, and what was waiting for me on the doorstop? This beauty from Grand Central Publishing. I loved Katherine St. John’s first book, The Lion’s Den, and I can’t wait to jump into this one! Watch for it in early May!
