Things that got us through springtime!
It’s been a busy time over at Casa Bowen, and maybe just a wee bit stressful. So these are all the small delights that saw me through a book launch and a graduation season.
Things to watch, read and enjoy! (Click any picture above for links.)
This “nail veil” by Kur is the most forgiving nail product I’ve ever used. It’s sheer, but not too sheer. You can slap on a coat and then come back a day later and slap on another. Plus it’s so mild in color that chips just don’t show. I’m in love.
My husband and I went to see The Fall Guy in the theater and had so much fun! Watching Hollywood make fun of itself was a total joy, and Mr. Gosling settled right into this cheesy role with enviable gusto. I came home and told my teenage son that he should watch it when he could, because he’d enjoy it just as much as I did.
True Detective 4 (on Max) was creepy enough that I had to watch it one episode at a time, with 24 hours in between. It was at the edge of my Creepiness Toleration Zone™. But it’s so inventive. I kept wondering if they could land this (metaphorical) plane in a satisfactory way, and then they did! I’m so glad I stuck with it.
We Could Be So Good by Cat Sebastian. Wow! Amazing writing, fabulous characters. Who knew I wanted to read an MM novel set in the late 50's in Manhattan? Not me. But I lost a weekend to this book and her newest one, You Should Be So Lucky.
Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera! This thriller has a snarky romance voice, and I am 100% here for it! What a fun ride.
The Dixon Rule by Elle Kennedy. You know it’s a good month when there’s a new Elle book to be had! 🩷
BONUS: this WaPo story about a chiropractor working on… a giraffe! (Gift link / no paywall!) 🦒
