Consumption 17

This is a monthly series, published near the end of the month summarizing what I found, ate, watched, googled, and felt this month. New categories added from time to time.

Books Added to My TBR (e.g., books I just learned about that I’m excited to read… maybe)

• Death on the Royal Yacht (S.J. Bennett)
• Main Characters (Bobby Palmer)
• I Can’t Believe I Don’t Have a Boyfriend (Harry Trevaldwyn)
• Such a Nice Girl (Andrea Mara)
• Hide and Seek (Andrea Mara)
• The Mortons (Justine Larbalestier and Scott Westerfeld)
• Windsor vs. Windsor (Bert Tyler-Moore)
• Light Years (Hattie Williams)

Notable Meals (new recipes, old favorites, and restaurant items we ate this month)

• Soft serve ice cream at Jimmie Cone.
• Burrata and nectarine salad on butter lettuce.

Television, Movies, and Music (watching and listening)

• The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins is really funny. I know zero about American football, so I didn’t think I would like it. But they almost never talk about football. Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe are fantastic.
• We finished Widow’s Bay. That was the best thing we saw all year. It’s creepy more than scary, and you’re laughing too much to be tense. I cannot wait for season two.
• We loved Make That Movie. Some episodes were better than others. We especially liked Bog Prom and the Yooglet.

Added To My Ongoing Mix Tape

• Spin the Bottle (The Juliana Hatfield Three)

Tabs I Left Open (things I Googled and left up on the screen)

• A poem by Edward Lear.
• The Wikipedia page for the Saxons.
• A walkthrough of runestones in Sigtuna, Sweden.
• A menu for a nearby sushi restaurant we haven’t gone to in years.
• A sandwich from M&S that the ChickieNob wants me to recreate.
• Gudrun Sjoden clothing site.
• A socca recipe from The Kitchn.
• Evans and Peel Detective Agency’s site, a themed speakeasy in London.

Micro-Joys

• Ordering books and having them arrive in the mail.
• Hugging the kids after many weeks away.

Mood

• Trying to set a limit on how many things I’m worried about.

What about you? Let me know what you’re eating, seeing, listening to, googling, feeling this month.
