Adventure stories from around the world, the kitchen, and the written word.

I have not finished a book this week. In my defense I have been out of town with little time to read. Over the next couple of weeks I will be posting all my Labor Day adventures from Dodge City to Capulin Volcano and other chaos in between. Anyway, here is what I have been

Title: The Woman in the Window Author: A.J. Finn Publication Date: 2018 Publishing House: HarperCollins I’m not a huge fan of psychological thrillers but I find myself listening to them on audiobook as I drive to and from work and as I cook or clean. I listened to this book after a suggestion on my

I have not finished a new book this week but I am reading a couple and wanted to share. Yes, I am aware how different the two books below are. Circe By: Madeline Miller I freaking love this book. If I didn’t have to sleep and work I would be done with it by now.
