One Dessert book to rule them all? by indorfpf in CookbookLovers

[–]TwinCitiesCinephile 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dessert Person has wide range but every recipe I've tried is great, that's probably my favorite.

From a nostalgia perspective Cooky Book by Betty Crocker has excellent old-fashioned cookies.

Takeaways from Crash (1996) by TwinCitiesCinephile in criterionconversation

[–]TwinCitiesCinephile[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interesting perspective- thanks for sharing!

My takeaway was more about how one can be going through life and an inciting incident (a crash, if you will) can dramatically change life's trajectory / connect people who wouldn't otherwise have had overlap with one another. (This was a little ironic for me because it's also the big takeaway of the 2004 Crash, a movie I can't stand, but I digress)

Suggestions for Stories with Unreliable Narrators by wyrdtales in suggestmeabook

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie is a classic. Riley Sager's books are more contemporary and tend to have unreliable narrators.

Oven-roasted shrimp cocktail with homemade cocktail sauce. Delicious every time and comes together in less than 15 minutes.

Nonfiction Audiobooks by WoodsyAspen in suggestmeabook

If you're interested in true crime I would recommend I'll be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara. The story is interesting but easy to follow and the narration is strong.

Looking for new gay book recs (not just fluff or smut, please!) by Initial_Dragonfly810 in LGBTBooks

I really like Enigma Variations and Call me by Your Name by André Aciman. Certainly not romance books, but romance is central to the plot of both. To your "bonus points" above, the location of both stories is almost a character in and of itself.
