Today’s happiness? I’m still thinking about the ne Today’s happiness? I’m still thinking about the new People We Meet On Vacation movie that released on Netflix yesterday.

I’m not difficult to please when it comes to book to movie adaptations. I generally like them all. But this one felt special. The casting was perfect and if you’re an Emily Henry fan I think you’ll really enjoy it. #books #movies #netflix #peoplewemeetonvacation #emilyhenry #romance #romancebooks #romcoms

I’ve been working my way through Will This Make Yo I’ve been working my way through Will This Make You Happy by Tanya Bush, a memoir about learning to bake and all of the time and energy it takes.

And honestly, reading about all of the cookies and cakes makes me hungry. Haha. Good thing it’s Christmas so I can do a little Christmas baking of my own.

Last night I made some chocolate chip cookies but used red & green m&ms for the chocolate 🤤

I love a good memoir. My favorites are those writt I love a good memoir. My favorites are those written (or ghostwritten) by celebrities, but I’m willing to give anything a chance.

There are so many good ones coming out in 2026, so it was really hard to narrow my list down to just 5.

1) Ryan O’Connell was one of my favorite writers when I used to read Thought Catalog and I loved his first book & show I’m Special.
2) I like comedy and so this one sounded interesting.
3) As a Girls fan, I’m always curious about Lena’s new projects.
4) A book about the origins of a book store? Sign me up. I want to learn more.
5) I received an arc of this one from Netgalley and I am so so excited to dive in. But I have to finish my December TBR first.

Do you like memoirs or have any recs? Let me know! I also have my eye on Christina Applegate’s book which comes out next year.

I started my new Christmas puzzle last night while I started my new Christmas puzzle last night while listening to a Christmas audiobook. 🎧 I’m currently listening to The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year by Ally Carter.

It’s very good so far! I haven’t read anything by her for a while… probably since my days when I was obsessed with the Gallagher Girls series. 🕵️

Best Offer Wins is such a darkly funny read. Some Best Offer Wins is such a darkly funny read. Some might even say it’s unhinged! But I think Millenials will especially enjoy it because of how relatable the story is.

Margo and Ian (who live in Maryland, but in the DC area) sell their house during the pandemic, thinking that with the money they’ll be able to put in a great down payment on their dream home.

But 18 months later they are still living in the tiny apartment that they rented “temporarily” while they house hunted. And Margo is definitely starting to lose her cool. It’s a constant cycle of getting excited about a house, only to lose out on a bidding war with 15 other offers.

It’s interesting watching Margo slowly lose herself, as the desperation makes her do deeply unsettling things.

Highly recommend this one! It was so entertaining. It’s the authors first novel and I hope she shares more stories in the future 📚
