It seems such a mundane thing to name a joy, but after years of pandemic layoff and then trying, in vain, to cob together a steady income just from freelancing, I am so filled with joy to have a steady job that pays me a reasonable wage so that when I read something like this and the mention of a book sparks my curiosity or excitement I can just... order it. Truly, if all I ever manage in this life is to raise my kids, pay my bills mostly on time, love my people well, write anything that is of use to anyone, and buy books that excite me, I will consider that a very, very good life.
I just picked up my preorder at my local book shop and am sitting in my yard with a sunhat on, drinking a strawberry and smoked chili shrub (recipe courtesy of my brother) and am sitting down to read YCMTPB. 💕

I love this!
Oh my goodness... I am so impulsive, acting on book recommendations. So I have to think twice before hitting 'order.'
But Happily..I can't resist!
And cannot wait to read yours in two weeks. 💕
That Replica bottle reads like a poem. So, no surprise it’s your favorite 😉
