Friday Top Five

I decided to start doing a weekly Friday Top Five to have a place to talk about all of the random bookish nonsense I get up to during the week.

1) It Is Not Good For Me To Drink Tea All Day

My drink of choice when I’m reading, writing, or working is tea. However all that caffeine plus every day 2020 stress is making it hard to sleep. It sounds austere, but I discovered this week that a slice of lemon and some mint from the garden is almost just as good.

2) Treated Myself To Homemade Poptarts And I Do Not Regret It

A birthday present to myself.

3) Burgers!

I “needed” to read a magazine for a summer reading challenge I was doing on Litsy, and so this impulse buy just jumped into my cart. I love America’s Test Kitchen, and I can’t wait to try some of these burgers!

4) Translation Struggles

I decided to listen to this audiobook after I read about it in NPR Books. I’ll write more about the book later, but I’ve been thinking about the translator’s note all week. I never thought about how hard it is to translate swears and insults from one language to another.

5) Probably Gonna Change My Name

I joked on Litsy that I’m probably going to change my name to “Things I Eat While I Read” since it’s been such a 2020 theme of mine. Here is peach and blackberry crisp a la mode.
