recently finished: nothing again. Still focused on cleaning and getting things set up for the holiday season. However, I have less than 30 minutes left on my audiobook of Bad Blood, so I think I’ll count that. I will finish it tomorrow, anyway.

currently reading: I have been gifted several beautiful cookbooks lately, thanks to Penguin Random House (including the two shown below), so this will be a cookbook week for me. There is Lasagna, a couple of book about flours and breads, and the new Milk Street Cookbook, where they share their new rules for cooking. There are also a lot of good gift books coming out soon, which I’ll be talking about soon. I did start reading Hoda Kotb’s I Really Needed This Today at work, on my lunch hour, but I started crying. I caught myself before to the ugly crying stage, but I decided not to take any more chances and read it at home. Probably best to also do that with The Little Book of Bob (Bob is a cat) and the Calm the F*ck Down Journal. (Hint: there are gifting holidays coming up, so stay tuned for ideas!).

up next: With the upcoming release of the Tana French’s series, I am heading back to the first of the Dublin Murder Series and listening to In the Woods.
