![]() Thanks to Penny Reid and GiveMeBooks PR for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. I honestly don’t know what to say about Penny’s writing except that if you aren’t reading her books yet, I’m not sure what you are waiting for? She writes the most fun characters, and manages to give them the spicy relationship goals that we all swoon for. ![]() Their chemistry together is amazing, and their struggles are completely relatable (especially if you know anyone with sensory processing issues). She’s a public school science teacher with stars in her eyes, and he’s a pretentious, joyless double PhD turned. The truth is, they have nothing in common. Yes, they’ve known each other for years, but they’re not even friendly. Winnifred Gobaldi and Byron Visser are not best friends. And all of this is what makes it that much more amazing when Winnie can get him to smile or to laugh, the swoon factor is imcredibly high! Ten Trends to Seduce Your Bestfriendby Penny Reid. ![]() So when he volunteers to pretend to be her best friend to do some TikTok challenges, she is completely surprised that he would offer his help.īyron is handsome, but he is also brutally honest, blunt, often times grumpy, rarely smiling, more rarely laughing. Everytime Winnie sees Byron, he is either correcting her grammar, or putting down her public school job, or otherwise making Winnie uncomfortable. That’s about it for their relationship honestly. ![]() Penny Reid has done it again! She has created yet another couple that I can’t stop thinking about. ![]() ![]() Live in the moment-and you can "time travel." (Or, as Amy refers to it, another wife.) No guilt necessary.Ħ. Women can lead multi-dimensional lives-and a little help never hurts. It’s OK to love your job, and to admit it. ![]() Mothers who work, mothers who stay home, women who prioritize work over getting drinks with friends, women who take work home to do with a glass of wine are all made to feel guilty. Pursuing a career in comedy could be seen as a foolish choice, but “it was the smartest thing to do,” according to the actress-and clearly, her inclinations were on point. It takes courage to decide to do what you want and figure out who you are. “It’s easier to be brave when you’re not alone,” says Poehler. Find a support system, because then it's OK to be brave or foolish. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Matters become complicated when they learn that the preferiti, the four candidates for the papacy, have been abducted, and each one is going to be murdered during the four hours preceding the explosion. When they learn that the antimatter container, which is set to explode in six hours, is buried somewhere in Vatican City, Langdon and Bentivoglio's research partner, Vittoria Vetra ( Ayelet Zurer), travel to Vatican City in an attempt to find the container. Meanwhile, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon ( Tom Hanks) has been summoned to the Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland, where Silvano Bentivoglio ( Carmen Argenziano), one of their leading nuclear physicists, has been murdered, branded across the chest with the word "Illuminati", and the container holding his greatest achievement-antimatter-has been stolen. The Pope has died, and every one of the world's 165 cardinals have arrived in Vatican City to begin the conclave, the secret meeting during which the cardinals elect a new Pope. ![]() ![]() Pitted against enemies inside his own department and forced to make the agonizing choice between justice and vengeance, Bosch goes on the hunt for a killer whose true face will shock him.

![]() ![]() The results are always great, even when I manage to screw it up somehow, the worse that happens is I get a really ugly but tasty and crusty loaf. It’s time consuming, but really amazingly simple and easy. Lastly, the loaves are cooked at high temperature, and in a dutch oven that is fully preheated. ![]() The proofing times are very long, these are not breads you make in one day. I'm demonstrating the Ken Forkish method for baking a basic, overnight artisanal bread. Instead of spending a long time kneading the dough you only fold it just enough to mix the ingredients fully. This was a fun video a friend made for a practice project. First, it uses a very small amount of yeast. Ken’s technique centers around a few concepts that differ from a lot of traditional methods. The ubiquitous ‘FWSY’ turns out to be shorthand for ‘Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast’, a book by Ken Forkish, owner of Ken’s Artisan Bakery in Portland, which has become sort of the new testament of bread baking for a lot of people. As I read more about baking on reddit and other websites, I started seeing people talking reverently about ‘FWSY’ and no-knead bread. ![]() Paul is a very old school, knead it by hand until your hands are aching kind of guy.
