The Relentless Weekly Wrap-Up 06/07/2015

Blogging: 
You can see my wrap-up for May here.

Reading:
I’m currently reading Safekeeping by Jessamyn Hope. It’s an absolute jewel.

Cooking:
Two of the hits of the week were Pasta with Asparagus and a glorious Peanut Butter Cake with Chocolate Icing. Now that the weather is turning warm I’ll be looking for good salad recipes. Do you have a favorite?

Promoting: 
The latest discussion on The Socratic Salon is Kate Atkinson’s A God in Ruins. We’ve got some great stuff coming up, as always! (The Shore, The Martian, and Girl at War, to name a few.)

Playing: 
We had my youngest nephew come for an overnight visit last week. It was fun (and exhausting!) to have a little one around again. We fed the baby geese at a local park, went to the candy store, and watched a lot of Curious George.

Watching:
I discovered that my favorite animated Spiderman series is on Netflix. It flings me back in time and makes me feel like I’m sitting cross-legged on the floor with a bowl of Lucky Charms on a Saturday morning in 1982. Awesome.

Celebrating: 
I’ve been blurbed! Thanks to Anthony Breznican and the good folks at St. Martin’s Press. I’ll be picking up a paperback copy of Brutal Youth soon so I can see it in person. 

Loving:
You may have seen my campaign earlier in the year to put up a Little Free Library. It became a reality late in May when I was finally able to install one in my front yard and fill it with books. If you’re local I invite you to come on by and take a book, leave a book, or both!

Sharing:
Come hang out with me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!

What’s going on with you? What are you watching, reading, cooking? I’d love to know!
