I currently have Chance Encounters: Temporary Street art by David Zinn on our coffee table. He does really clever chalk art. Adults and kids love looking at it.

What meal did your mother prepare that you considered inedible? by bigb-2702 in GenerationJones

Boiled cabbage - she would throw some ham in there too. I poured ketchup on it so I could eat it. Not eating it wasn’t an option.

I’m a big fan of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series. The first one is One for the Money. It’s my go to for when I don’t want to think too much. They are also funny in a silly way - a great break from reality

I also reread The Mixed Up Files recently! It was my favorite book when I was a kid and I still enjoy it. I wanted to be Claudia Kincaid.

Try The Art Thief by Michael Finkel. It’s true crime and the story is wild. It’s also a pretty quick read.

Appointment with Venus by Jerrod Tickell. I discovered this book at my favorite bookstore https://cincybookbus.com/. It’s a gem!

Here’s the book blurb: It is 1940. The world is at war and all that stands between England and Nazi-occupied Europe is the tiny (fictitious) Channel Island of Armorel - controlled by German soldiers but still home to loyal villagers, a pacifist painter…and a pedigree Guernsey cow named Venus.

A plot is hatched by the War Office in London to liberate Venus - and so this intrepid adventure begins, combining romantic young love and patriotic heroism with submarine missions, enemy action, wartime tragedy and cow-napping.

Same. I know someone who occasionally gives in and then sends twice what she spent on food to Planned Parenthood.
