You'll probably end up grabbing a bag of Trader Joe's Taralli and Friends crackers to put alongside your charcuterie and cheese boards this holiday season.

The most important thing to know about Duke, Actually is that it's acquaintances-to-friends-to-lovers and the friendship arc is looooooooooooong. It takes until almost page 300 for the two MCs to even kiss. But it's Jenny Holiday, so it does pay off on the Hallmark,…

Julie Tieu's The Donut Trap perfectly captures that post-undergrad experience when it feels like all your friends have their lives sorted, and you're back where you were in high school. It hits so close to home with how awkward and overthinking I was about relationships in my early…

First, let's talk about this cover. Because from the moment I saw it months ago I had big time heart eyes for The Lady Gets Lucky. The luxe lavender and gold, the leg, her hair. I mean, gah, hello, gorgeous.
So let's get to the book. I utterly…
With meat prices up in general, Trader Joe's Balsamic Glazed Short Ribs will feel like a little bit of a splurge. But at $8.99 / lb. for a pre-made sous vide product it's pretty reasonable. The box I grabbed came in at 2.79 lbs. for a cost of $25.08. I don't usually like buying meat…

Approach The Ex Hex like a Hallmark/Lifetime/Netflix holiday movie with more sizzle. Don't expect much explanation about how the magic works or is governed. That's not what we're here for.
After a summer fling that ended badly, 19-year-old Vivi does what anyone would do: drown her…
