Yes, Monday.
So the Avalanche won the Stanley Cup so there, thankfully, won't be a Game 7. Tonight we'll probably watch Street Outlaws which we've missed a couple episodes now. Ah well. I think I'll make for Steve's dinner some Velveeta and shells and some hamburger.
I'm on Day 28 of my Eat Like a Bear food plan. Still going strong. I finally made some homemade ranch dressing yesterday. It was good. Yes, homemade salad dressings do taste better.
I finally finished reading MALIBU RISING by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Stand alone.
Malibu: August 1983. It’s the day of Nina Riva’s annual end-of-summer party, and anticipation is at a fever pitch. Everyone wants to be around the famous Rivas: Nina, the talented surfer and supermodel; brothers Jay and Hud, one a championship surfer, the other a renowned photographer; and their adored baby sister, Kit. Together the siblings are a source of fascination in Malibu and the world over—especially as the offspring of the legendary singer Mick Riva. The only person not looking forward to the party of the year is Nina herself, who never wanted to be the center of attention, and who has also just been very publicly abandoned by her pro tennis player husband. Oh, and maybe Hud—because it is long past time for him to confess something to the brother from whom he’s been inseparable since birth. Jay, on the other hand, is counting the minutes until nightfall, when the girl he can’t stop thinking about promised she’ll be there. And Kit has a couple secrets of her own—including a guest she invited without consulting anyone. By midnight the party will be completely out of control. By morning, the Riva mansion will have gone up in flames. But before that first spark in the early hours before dawn, the alcohol will flow, the music will play, and the loves and secrets that shaped this family’s generations will all come rising to the surface.
Published 2021; 386 pages. Her books are stand alones but there are cross over characters. As always, there's 80% tell and 20% show. I dunno why I read 'em -- beach read, I guess.
I'll have a new release to read tomorrow. I'll tell you about it then.
Have a good day
Much love,
