Welcome

Quarantine Reads

July 15, 2020

It has seriously been so long since I did a reading recap, but to be perfectly honest, I took a lengthy break on reading. After my last semester ended abruptly, it was just hard to get in the mindset that I actually had free time. I started Good Reads at the suggestion of my friend Alyson. It would be extremely hard to even remember what I had read without the Good Reads app- I am able to easily log everything I read, start reading or want to read on there! I am going in order of most recent to least recent.

The Proposal- This was a fairly good read! I loved that it was a pretty unusual story- a girl turns down a very public proposal but meets an amazing “rebound,” through it. It was a little bit more rated M than I usually prefer- but not too bad!

Major Pettigrew’s last Stand- This was pretty dry, but ultimately a good book. It follows an aging man in the English country side dealing with racism, his estranged son and eccentric neighbors.

The Girls in the Garden- I read two in a row by this author, and she specializes in twisted storylines. I am not really a fan- I dont think I would read hers again. They are kind of predictable but weird at the same time?

Then She was Gone- This one was very, very predictable! I wouldn’t recommend.

The Wife Between Us- I definitely loved this one! It’s expected and unexpected in the best ways.

The Dutch House- This is narrated by Tom Hanks, it’s so weird to hear his voice narrate something non-animated.

The Little Book of Hygge- this is a nonfiction book that I would really recommend. It’s all about the Danish word, hygge. That sounds boring- but I promise it’s a very cozy book. If you like audiobooks, I recommend going that route.

That’s what I have read recently, I just started “Nine Perfect Strangers” by Liane Moriarty!  Let me know what you’re reading by messaging me on Instagram!

Ingredients:
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4–6 lemons), or more if you like it super tart! 
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 4 cups cold water
- Ice
- Lemon slices, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and the sugar. Heat over medium, stirring until sugar is completely dissolved to make a simple syrup. My grandma just put the sugar directly into the lemonade which was so delish! But I played around with doing this and think it incorporates really well. 

Let cool, then mix with lemon juice and remaining 3 cups of cold water. Optional! The tiniest dash of vanilla extract and very thinly sliced lemons. 

Taste and adjust sugar or water if needed. 

Serve over ice and garnish with lemon slices.
Oh my gosh! This was the best roast chicken I’ve Oh my gosh! This was the best roast chicken I’ve ever made, all thanks to @wishbonekitchen’s boyfriend roast chicken recipe! Im now convinced all roast chickens should be dry brined for 24 hours 👏 

I also made her brown butter broccolini from the same cookbook. Delish!
