I'm thrilled to see Gigi is reading A Study in Charlotte. I absolutely LOVED the series. I borrowed books from the library or read them on my Kindle but ended up buying the set so I can force my daughter to read them someday. They're just so good. I'd read a hundred more. I love a good cookbook so I'm adding Pizza Night and The Siete Table to look for.

They are such a nice set to have on the shelf for looks 😍, and I can speak from experience that they are worth rereading, too. I think I’ve read the first one 3-4 times already… as the series was publishing I kept going back to reread previous books.

Four schools is BANANAS. Good luck!

I'm hoping to start a family audiobook this weekend -- I preordered the second book in the Swifts series, and we're excited to revisit Shenanigan Swift's antics. :)

Which of those cookbooks do you most recommend?

Stand by until I actually look through them all! 🤪 I do already know that Yiayia is one I want to read cover to cover, as it has narrative profiles about each of the grandma’s she visits.

This is so fun!! I love All the Light We Cannot See and the Scythe series especially. Your daughter has good taste :)

I've watched the movie Marty from the 50s several times this month...I'm not even sure why! It just really hit something in me lately.

She does have good taste! 😁

I’ve never seen Marty! I have a handful of old movies that I want to watch (like To Catch a Thief), I will have to remember that one too.

Oh, you're reading Hello Beautiful! I can't wait to hear what you think. My son (11yo) flew through most of the Stuart Gibbs' catalogue this summer! They were a hit.

Also--I don't think I knew you struggle with TMJ. Same here. Another thing we have in common. Though I wish this one wasn't so. Hope you get some good relief soon!
