#MentalHealthMonday

1. Tired & a bit overwhelmed work-wise. Having a little extra time off was helpful in some ways but put me behind in others.

2. I‘m excited to read this mental health fiction book with #RiseUpReads next month. Including the post from @Catsandbooks in case anyone wants to join in.

The 12 Days of Christmas

August favorite

#12BooksOf2024

Unexpectedly my favorite Deb Caletti book thus far. The unrequited/being in love with someone you shouldn‘t be hit a little too close to home. I loved Zeus, the dog, Scarlet‘s journey, her family and the escapades of her neighbors. I definitely cried the last few chapters and loved the writing.

And, for once, the traditional way of ending a story is exactly the way the story of my own life turned out.
You know the words. Of course you do.
And they lived happily ever after.

I ate an enormous bowl of poke while I started A BÁNH MÌ FOR TWO, and now I never want to eat anything again—except all the Vietnamese foods in this book sound so durned good that I‘ll probably crack and eat something else, someday. We‘ll see.
