Oh, how I loved This Is Not a Book About Benedict Cumberbatch! I've recommended to both friends and clients and then have to explain away their skepticism by telling them it's so funny but also it's really so much about reclaiming our identity especially for women who are mothers. And then I have to reassure them again that it's funny.
Love this post. Wordle is my sip of water in a dumpster fire. Whatever gets us through, I say.
Also, I LOVED the Amy Poeppel book and am picking up Benedict Cumberbatch on your recommendation. Not the actor. The book. At the moment I am distracting myself with the swooniest historical romances I can find--Julie Anne Long, Loretta Chase, Cecilia Grant--because I'm deep in edits and need to read myself to sleep. No guilt.
I have read all but one of the books on your list and I'm sure I found them because of you. So thanks! Just finished "Like Mother Like Mother" from last week's post and LOVED.
Wordle as an addiction, that's funny. I had to quit sugar for two weeks in January bc I was seriously out of control after all of the holidays and parties and and and... January felt like a good time to go cold turkey. It was a good reset! The other thing I "quit" was the gmail app on my phone. I took it off and I'm never going back. I read more by carrying a book with me, and converse with people around me. It's been good.
Fun piece and great book recs. I wondered the same thing about the NYT sugar piece. A cover story no less!! On another note, I gave up sugar and alcohol over the holidays and attended a Christmas concert where they sang "Sugar and Booze." I felt like they were calling me out :)

Yeah I read that article too. Very talented writer. But it was so tone-deaf that it should have been titled, “Let Me (But Not Them) Eat Cake”.

Wait like a kids concert?! That would be hysterical.
