Well, another month that seemed like a year (or a dozen) has gone by and times remain weird. Last month was a real struggle to get in a reading mood but it did keep my mind blessedly occupied when I did read. April was a rinse and repeat month when it came to reading. And that’s okay. If reading gives you comfort, fantastic. If reading is tough for you, that’s okay too. Books will always be here.

I tried to convince myself multiple times the past month that, as an introvert and reader, a stay-at-home order is something I welcome because staying at home and reading is my happy place and now I have no choice but to do so. And yet … and yet I found myself obsessively reading/watching the news, aka my new favorite pastime/nightmare, versus reading.

Cry? Yell? Spit? (Probably not, sounds unsanitary). Laugh. Yes. Let’s go with that one. I really want to do all the above, minus the spitting, but today I’m leaning into laughter because I’m trying to push forward during a surreal, difficult and scary time, just like you. So instead of worrying together, why don’t we laugh instead?

I did, however, not read them on the second of the second month of the year, nor did I read them on the 20th of the year 2020. That would have been cool but I ain’t that cool.

I pondered for some time about what I should post as my first food post now that I’m back in Minnesota. Should it be Minnesota-esqe? A tearful homage to my beloved California? Something completely unrelated? I had ideas. Lots of ideas. But ambition? Well, that’s another story! Ultimately, I went completely unrelated to where I live and just good food. Also food I could share with co-workers to prevent me from noshing on the whole pan, because self-control ain’t my strength.

Yes, I know. One book is probably not super brag-worthy but since I haven’t read a new-to-me book since September or October, it feels pretty amazing. Or sad. Maybe a bit of both? And sure, maybe I finished reading the book Sunday night but let’s not lose sight of the main point: I read something and I’m participating in the Show Us Your Books link-up again. Yay Tanya! You are such a good, committed reader. Or committable. Sometimes I get confused. 😉 Moving on, folks. Nothing to see here!
