The Relentless Weekly Wrap-Up 06/14/2015

Reading: 
I finished up Misery. I love these Stephen King readalongs. We have such a good time with it on Twitter and Instagram.

Right now I’m in the middle of The Small Backs of Children by Lidia Yuknavitch. I’m not sure what to think of it quite yet. The language can be arresting, beautiful even, but there’s a bit of grandiosity there that is sticking in my craw.

Cooking: 
The hits this week were corn and black bean wraps and a pan of copycat Twix bars. YUM.

Promoting:
This week on The Socratic Salon we’ve discussed audiobooks and All The Birds, Singing. Come join the conversation!

Watching:
Season 3 of Orange is the New Black is here! Hallelujah!

Sistering:
I spent a day with my best pal/sister. We live an hour apart and when we’re together we treat it as an event. We shopped, we ate, we went to a candy store to ooh and ahh over their nostalgia section. (Candy cigarettes! Ha!) I grabbed some fudge for me and some gummy eggs for my nephews. I also picked up a new pair of bitchin’ running shoes during our shopping spree. I’ll tell you right now that this girl will be using them for walking. Not running. We were also able to visit my oldest daughter (and her new kitten!!) in her new apartment. It was a great day.

What’s up in your neck of the woods? What are you reading? Are you cooking anything delicious? Tell me all about it in the comment section.

Have a great week, everyone! Muah!

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 06/08/2015


Read: 

Dietland by Sarai Walker was a subversive little piece of fun. We might be talking about this over on The Socratic Salon later on this summer. You’ll want to hunt down a copy. It’s worthy of a discussion, that’s for sure.

Safekeeping by Jessamyn Hope was marvelous. It hit all the right notes and I’m going to be pondering the ending for a long while. 

Currently Reading:

I’m reading Misery as part of a readalong. There’s nothing like a Uncle Stevie readalong. I’m always so happy to be re-reading an old favorite with a group of fabulous people. 
Upcoming:

I have so much good stuff coming up that I don’t know where to start. The Beautiful Bureaucrat is certainly one that I’m looking forward to. Just look at that cover! Swoon.
