Life lately
Listening to romance novels on audio is really working for Sarah, and Abby hates sidewalk chalk.

Sarah read The Antidote for Everything by Kimmery Martin, and Abby strongly recommends A Wicked Kind of Husband by Mia Vincy.
Our work lives
We share our work-related history, what jobs we have now, and how those jobs are working for us. And here’s that beautiful essay about choices by Cheryl Strayed that Abby mentioned: The Ghost Ship That Didn’t Carry Us.
Eating lately
Abby is obsessed with making pesto from basil she grew.
Sarah is enjoying quinoa with roasted veggies—a dairy-free favorite.

Just wanted to send a quick thank you to you ladies for introducing me to “feminist” romance novels! They’ve been the best way for me to escape during the past 6 months of COVID-19 plus everything. Abby, your Goodreads has been my library list, haha. Anyway, I saw this post and it definitely hit home and thanks to you, I’d read many of the titles mentioned! https://vitruvi.com/blogs/impact-and-identity/how-i-became-an-optimist-during-a-pandemic

“Romance novels as self-care” that’s it exactly! So glad it’s working for you, too, Kt. -A xoxo
