Happy Aloha Friday 🌺🍍I snuck a brief few minutes at SBUX this morning before work for a few pages of my current book for book tour review next week & Christmas Blend & a Chocolate Swirl Brioche. (I'm making it my mission to try all of the seasonal pastries) 😋😆I can't tell you how happy I am that Friday is finally here. #alohafriday

Herschelian That is an excellent mission, after all somebody‘s got to taste them! 6y
MelissaSue81 My library is taking foreeeeeever to get this book out of processing! Can‘t wait to hear how it is! 6y
Tamra I‘m going to treat myself to this one for the winter break. 😁 6y

Starting Friday of a long week with my first cup of Christmas Blend of the season & a seasonal Pistachio-Honey Croissant. ☕️🥐I wanted one of the free red reusable cups, but I got here at 7:00 AM the store was out of them by 5:00 AM. 😮Oh well... A chapter or two of my current read before work.
So glad it's #AlohaFriday even if it's a rainy morning.🌺 🌈

LeahBergen Enjoy! ☕️ 🥐 6y
Blueberry I got mine at 8am but it sounded like they might be running low. 6y
zsuzsanna_reads Out at 5am? Wow!! The croissant flavour sounds gorgeous. 6y
Zelma Don‘t feel too bad. The quality of the freebie cups is one step up from a red solo cup. Not something you would keep for very long. 6y
Cinfhen Yum!!!!!!! 6y

I am so happy it's Friday. 🎉A long, busy week where I rolled out the first part of management development training I have been working on. It's all good but I'm facilitating my third workshop of this week in a bit & my inner introvert is feeling drained. 😬Stealing a few minutes with my current book tour #ARC at SBUX before getting to it. Happy #alohafriday 🌺🍍

#FriYayIntro Thanks @Cinfhen for tagging the #StepfordSummerParty peeps ??

1. Momotaro aka "Peach Boy" ?Japanese folk tale
2. Shrek (I ❤️Donkey & Puss in Boots ??)
3. 7:18 PM ? ??
4. Sprouts-especially a wad of alfalfa sprouts! ??(Why do sandwich makers think that all vegetarian/vegans like sprouts?! Yuck! ??)
5. Anyone who has not done it & wants to play.?

Happy #AlohaFriday ???

BiblioLitten I dislike sprouts so much! I think I'm the only one.😓 6y
DebinHawaii @BiblioLitten Oh no, you are not alone! I despise them! 🌱🤢 6y
BiblioLitten Now I want to change my answer from honey mustard to sprouts.😁 6y

Cinfhen I like sprouts but I always wonder what‘s lurking in them.... 6y
DebinHawaii @BiblioLitten You totally can! 😆👍 6y
DebinHawaii @Cinfhen I can eat some in a salad but I hate getting a veggie sandwich with 2-inches of sprouts in the middle. And yes, I wonder about what's lurking too! 😱😆 6y
Bookzombie I will eat them, but agree that there is no need for a pile of them. 6y

#StepfordSummerParty

Posted my 70s pic already but I finished it last night & it gets a pick from me. Good suspense, campy chills, a fun retro-vibe & I'll agree with the group, it doesn't seem outdated-it reminds me of Rosemary's Baby that way. Levin is not kind to the wives in either book & doesn't put husbands in a good light. I do wish we'd gotten inside Walter's head a bit.🤔

Happy I got the Kindle deal as my print copy still isn't here.😠

DebinHawaii P.S. The love is for both the book and my #alohafriday breakfast acai bowl & cold brew with coconut milk from earlier. 😍 6y
CarolynM I think the creepiness was achieved by only showing the perspective of a character who didn't know what was going on. I agree I'd like to know what the husbands were thinking, but it would have been a very different type of book. Some have suggested a Stepford Husbands sequel. I'd love to know how these guys cope with their "perfect" wives in the long term. 6y
DebinHawaii @CarolynM I agree. I wouldn't have wanted a full book of it but maybe a glimpse of Walter at the end--although the way it ended was good. Hmm...🤔I just want to get in their heads a bit! 😆 6y

erzascarletbookgasm You‘re right about Levin not being kind to wives in his novels. They seem to be the victims, same for this book 6y
Cinfhen Great review! I have some questions about Walter too, but I‘ll wait until tomorrow 😘 6y
DebinHawaii @Cinfhen Can't wait! 🤓 6y
Mdargusch @Cinfhen did Walter go to Stepford knowing what was going on? Or did he get influenced once he was there?” That would be my burning question. 🤔 6y

I did have my usual humid Friday order of an acai bowl and cold brew coffee with coconut milk for breakfast at the coffeeshop, but I just had a few scant moments with one of my current #ARC reads before getting busy with an online meeting. Still, it was delicious and it's #AlohaFriday 🌺🍍so I can't complain too much. I'm ready for the weekend.😬

ladym30 That looks really good!! 6y
GripLitGrl That looks soooo yummy!😋 6y

Whoops! This pic is pretty much deja vu to last week Friday when I was eating the same coffeeshop breakfast of Eggs Caprese and coffee and reading the same thriller. I haven't had much time for this one, but I'm about 45% in and it's not bad. Finishing up some work & emails and looking forward to a weekend of rest, reading and hopefully finally kicking this cold. 🤧 Hope your weekend is starting well.

Happy #AlohaFriday 🌺🍍

laundry_piles I know you told me once already what's in this but I want to try and make this this weekend, could you tell me again!? It looks SO good! 7y
DebinHawaii @laundry_piles No worries. They scramble eggs & use small ring molds to make them round then top each egg circle with pesto, diced red onion, a tomato slice and mozzarella then they broil them briefly to met the cheese on top. They are yummy. 😋 7y
laundry_piles @DebinHawaii oh goodness! Devine! I'm going to try and make some! 😍 7y

Excuse the lighting--it was 0-dark-thirty when I got to the coffeeshop this morning. I have a plan to do my email, a blog post, finish up some minor busy work & some catch-up reviews on Goodreads, then run by the grocery store since I'm already parked at the center & get out--or bail early if the holiday madness gets too much.😬#worktheplan👍Starting the morning with a sun-dried tomato bagel with lox & a cinnamon-honey soy latte. #alohafriday🌺🎄

It's Friday and I'm hoping to power through some work this morning and get to my weekend sooner rather than later. But first my coffeeshop breakfast of an Acai bowl, a press of local coffee & a little of this book that's been hanging out on my Kindle for a while. I was in need of a mystery/ thriller to round out the half-dozen books I am currently reading. The moody reader wants what she wants.😆📚📚📚Hope you are enjoying your day. #alohafriday🌺

SassyBookworm Your breakfast looks amazing 😋 7y
DebinHawaii @Chrysta23 Thanks! It's my favorite Friday breakfast. 😋👍 7y

It's Friday and I'm kicking off this Veteran's Day holiday with some breakfast & work at the coffeeshop--although how long I'll last is unknown as it's getting a bit crazy due to the holiday. 😬 Acai bowl, press of local coffee & some pages of this foodie book before trying to wrap up a few lingering projects. Hope your Friday is a good one. #alohafriday🌴🌺🍍
