I have so many thoughts about the fight they had when he suggested he sell the business and she quit her job. On the one hand, yeah...he does need to be around more and I can't imagine that their business brings in any profit whatsoever. On the other hand, even though her job may be bringing her face to face with the minions of Satan, I still really resented the fact that he expected her to quit. Even putting aside the fact that she is a grown ass woman and has the right to have a job she finds fulfilling, she had a point that it was her job that paid the bills and provided the benefits.

I finished Jennifer Weiner's That Summer today. I didn't have high expectations for it since it is in the same universe as Big Summer, and I really didn't enjoy that one.

I'm listening to this on Audio right now. I had to get an Audible membership (for one month) to get it, but so far I'm enjoying it!

I signed up for Audible (and then promptly canceled) just to get this audiobook. I have heard nothing but good things about it! I just finished Piecing Me Together by Renee Watson on audio. I knew nothing about it--I just picked it up off a list of YA Award Winners to check off a box of my Adult Summer Reading Bingo (no, I've never outgrown summer reading). I *loved* this book. I'm not feeling YA lately, but this was just so beautiful. And it was a YA rarity as there isn't any romance in it. Instead it is about relationships, friendships, racism. I didn't know beforehand it was set
