second place, rachel cusk

read it over a few days in the summer- and its set during those hot months! ikinda like middle-aged women musings but i found the story kinda cinematic and quite compelling bc its about this rude annoying artist satying in the narrators marsh land. and the narrator is fun ny.

saving agnes - rachel cusk

It's about a young woman coming into adulthood with her whole childhood behind her and the cruel modern world ahead of her. Family drama, roommate drama, a mysterious lover, middle class angst, strange and surreal scenes(like her house literally slowly sinking into the earth), and amazing prose. Honorable mention to Woman, Eating by Claire Kohda, which is about a vampire who is trying to break into the art world.

books as gifts

working in publishing means I use my discount to get everyone books as birthday/holiday gifts, and turns out it is SO fun selecting books for everyone based on their interests and loves and reading habits!! I think even without a discount this is a fun way to keep gift prices low without losing a personal touch 🩷

Frozen hash brown patties

they make breakfast fun 🌞 I prefer the patties to those big bags of loose potato shavings. 1 patty fits perfectly on a piece of toast. add some garlic powder in the pan. I don‘t even want to know what kinds of oils and chemicals are in them to make them so good. do not tell me!!

anything by michael deforge

My fave cartoonist. I love so many cartoonists dearly but his books are what pushed me to dive into the genre as an adult. Personal faves are Leaving Richards Valley, Sticks Angelica, and Brat. He writes such distinct characters, the way he draws is so inventive, and every book of his is a perfect sad/funny/often-dystopian combo.
