Justin tends to be inside his head. Not too many people understand him, and fewer try. He has a few friends who seem to care. This year it looks like that may change. Like everything may change.

Dominic is back and living next door. The past is catching up to both of them as they realize they may have more in common that they thought. If he can just tell Justin the truth, and hang on to a friendship that could turn into more, this may be their year.

Characters that move me, well more than one per book is rare. I found I loved both of this couple as it motivated me to read faster and get to the end. I was pleased that there was romance, charm, and more among the angst. So many surprises and a worthwhile read. Hope we revisit this bunch of friends. I give this a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Mixtape Potluck Cookbook

My Never Ending List

I liked the idea about this cookbook and in the introduction, it is explained in detailed how this cookbook came about. It’s a song inspired potluck. A song is selected and individuals are invited to prepare/cook something as the tune played. The dish didn’t have to reflect what they were listening to, it was just a reflection of the person preparing the dish. This sounded like an entertaining way to prepare some food, get friends together and get to know one another.

I was entertained with the music choices for some of the individuals chosen for the book. Martha Stewart’s Grape Focaccia’s was paired with Snoop Dog’s “Life of Da Party” and a cocktail prepared by Dave Arnold called Red Skies at Night featuring white run, wildberry honey, red chile flakes and vegetable glycerin that was paired with “Sounds of Silence” by the Beastie Boys. This cocktail looked good until I read the ingredients, as it reminded me of a drink I used to drink, the Slow Comfortable Screw. I guess I got tired of the orange juice.

It’s a very organized cookbook: with the recipes broken down into categories and there is even a list of guests that are included in the book. There’s an index and some tips on how to create your own playlist. Every recipe in the book has an illustration and I enjoyed reading the little paragraphs that accompanied each recipe about how the song was chosen. It was an interesting and fun cookbook and I enjoyed reading the Afterward and Introduction. Unfortunately, the recipes were nothing that I would fix. Spinach Pie, Tuna Pasta a la Popowendy, Thit Kho Tau, Bourbon Raspberry Tea- those are just a few random pages of the book. I did enjoy the book; the idea was fantastic but the recipes were not of my liking.

THE MIXTAPE : An Urban Love Story

Musefall

'The Mixtape' is a heart-wrenching play of one woman's triumph over the negative impact of her childhood. This immersive script pulls you quickly into an unforgettable story of finding one's true self, and escaping the negativities that tie us to our past sins by bringing them into the light.

Paula Stinson's characters inspire those in similar situations to break free of the negative cycle that haunts them, and to find hope and happiness starting from within themselves. This is a hard play to put down once you start reading it, and a great gift for yourself or anyone who is depressed and in need of some positive reinforcement.
