I haven’t updated this blog in a while (not writing, so nothing much to say) and I haven’t done a Friday 5 in ages, so I thought I’d throw one out there.

1. I eat the same snack every day for months until I am totally sick of it and then I pick a new snack and repeat. The current snack is: handful of nuts (cashews or almonds), a couple of slices of smoked applewood cheddar, a dill pickle, and some dried apricots. Oh, and vanilla black tea.

2. I haven’t posted on Need To Read much lately because I’ve been reading a lot of ARCs and I hate to get you all excited about books you can’t get for months.

3. The fabulous writer Coe Booth has given me tips on cooking tofu and I’m getting better at it (it’s almost sacriligious to be a veggie and not be able to cook tofu).

4. I am addicted to the Britsh radio serial The Archers and listen to it every day (while I snack or knit).

5. When my husband went to have a homemade cookie last night, he saw it was the last one and so he only took half, saving the other half for me. I probably would’ve eaten the whole thing if I was in his position, but everyone knows he’s nicer than me!
