Half Empty

I was feeling sooo optimistic just a few weeks ago. Cases were shrinking, athletes were on their way to the Olympics, the eviction moratorium was extended, libraries were opening their doors to patrons. This week, feeling more glass half empty, all I wanted to do was eat delicious vegan ice cream from this place and read books about reality tv hopefuls, has been sitcom actors, and vengeful creative writing students.

Synopses (now, that’s a fun word) below provided by Kirkus Reviews. 

Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake by Alexis Hall

“In this delicious romantic comedy, a British home baker must win a televised cooking competition and navigate her competitors' distractingly good looks to provide a better life for herself and her daughter.”

The Guncle by Steven Rowley

“The children, Grant and Maisie, are 6 and 9, respectively, spending the summer with their Uncle Patrick, or GUP as they call him: Gay Uncle Patrick.”
