    The Silent Patient Book Review ~ Suspense in the Psych Ward

    September 14, 2020 / 0 Comments

    by Alex Michaelides London, present time, Psychological Thriller Book Review  “No crazy parts allowed.” The Silent Patient is visceral. Michaelides is extremely descriptive and yet clean, using no unnecessary fluff words. He took his time rolling the story out but it didn’t feel slow; I was never bored or easily distracted from the book. It just felt as if he purposefully immersed the reader into the minds of Theo and Alysia. At first, I had no interest in Theo’s story. I just wanted more of Alysia. but then I started getting hooked on Theo’s psychotherapeutic interpretations of the other characters. No spoilers but The “Twist” that hyped this book and…

    Roasted Salsa

    September 14, 2020 / 0 Comments

    I love this time of year when the last of the tomatoes come off the vine and football games grace the tv. My husband loves to grill on game days and this salsa is a great companion to meats and veggies as well as chips. If you can add fresh oregano as well as fresh cilantro it will heighten the flavors of this salsa to the next level! Nothing beats fresh herbs. Have you tried making this recipe?

    Nerdy Hummus Dressing

    September 7, 2020 / 0 Comments

    This hummus dressing is the perfect topping for salads, brown rice, roasted veggies and so much more! Hummus is made mostly from chickpeas which pack quite a nutritional punch. A mere tablespoon has 2 grams of fiber and 2 grams of protein. They’re also rich in potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron. Have you tried making this recipe? Are you cycle syncing?

Whatever shall we do after reading the Bridgerton Whatever shall we do after reading the Bridgerton series?? ⠀
⠀
I have an answer, my friends: Edie Cay. ⠀
Three words- Feminist 👏 Regency 👏 Romance 👏 ⠀
⠀
When @authorediecay reached out to me to request a cocktail creation for her new book, The Boxer and The Blacksmith, I was flattered. But after reading the book, I was honored. ⠀
⠀
✨✨(Win two copies now- one for you and one for a friend!! Check out my last post to enter the giveaway through today, 1/14.)✨✨⠀
⠀
Now for the cocktail deets. Gin, club soda, honey and charred orange simple syrup and a purple iced tea cube. ⠀
⠀
All of the heat and smoke of a blacksmith with the knockout punch of a boxer. 🥃 This complex yet simply delicious cocktail is a wonderful accomplice to Edie Cay’s Feminist Regency Romance, The Boxer and The Blacksmith. I highly recommend both! ⠀

Daisy Jones and the Six ~ A Rockin Good Time⠀
⠀
Is @tjenkinsreid Janice Joplin reincarnated? How does she come up with this realistic to the bone, all encompassing look into rock stars’ lives? And not just one but 7 of them?!? I absolutely loved Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones rocked. I bow to the talent that oozes out of TJR and she will always be an automatic buy for me. ⠀
⠀
PS. I very highly recommend listening to this book on audio. The star-studded cast of narrators includes Jennifer Beals and Benjamin Bratt 🤩⠀
⠀
Also, stay tuned. Thanks to @librariana_ I am now aware of a peanut butter whiskey 🥃 that will compliment Daisy Jones perfectly. 🔥⠀
