What an awesome, awesome friend. I’m so glad you went, and your reading list intrigues me. One of Us is Lying is def a good comp for Bennie. Also check out the Truly Devious series by Maureen Johnson. I’ve recently read two books by David Joy, Appalachian author, because he is speaking at our annual Arts Festival later in June. Those We Thought We Knew and When These Mountains Burn are both adult thrillers/ mysteries, but I think they would be helpful too. I have also allowed my children to fend for themselves with cooking - I think I’ve called it “on your own” or “in the wild” or something like that. I’m guilty of not making the youngest fend for himself as much - but have warned him, as he will be a senior this year, that he needs to become more independent and it’s happening starting NOW.
Yes, an awesome friend. It was so relaxing and hard to come back to reality (which is a good reality but there's nothing like feeling carefree and barefoot in a place away from home!) Thanks for the book recommendations. Children fending for selves builds confidence :) Monday check-in is a must - it's been too long!
Ah, Cape Cod! Scenes of significance in my lengthening life - ocean-going research out of Woods Hole in which I learned from three weeks of sea-sickness in the Gulf Stream that I was not a good candidate for an oceanographic career; and a first time dalliance with a young lady in Provincetown from which I learned ... well, never mind.
What a lovely week, and how great to have such a generous (and insistent) friend! Hope you're getting good weather. I'm reading the forthcoming THE VOLCANO DAUGHTERS, by Gina Maria Balibrera.
👏🏻 Good for you! I love Cape Cod. I’ve visited once and remember the shark signs. And the wind! Have an amazing time. And do all the reading. What a life!

You have such a great “in” with new books coming out!!!
It is fun to read ahead! But it cuts into regular reading.
"Fortunately Dav was not a very good listener" bahahaha! That's amazing.
And what a great stack! Enjoy!
I love it so much :)
May we all have such friends
Thank goodness for friends named Lindsay. ❤️
Yes indeed!
LOL! What are the chances!? I read that writer's biography recently and reacted the same way!
It’s too good :)
That *is* the best author bio ever. And "I Cheerfully Refuse" lives up to the hype. ENJOY YOUR TIME!
Thank you!!!
Have the best time! Beach Read is my fave Emily Henry book. I also have the New Menopause and find it SO essential.
So glad you liked Beach Read - cracking it open tomorrow!
One of Us Is Lying is really good! Enjoy your beach escape 🥰
It’s been on my tbr list forever! And you reminded me of it a few posts ago - can’t wait!!!
❤️💕❤️💕

P.S. Your mother gives good advice.
She does :) and thank you!
So very, very cool!! Hope you spend some time gazing into each other’s eyes! 😎❤️
Haha...we will also do this :)
