I listened to this audiobook on 2.5 x speed and fast-forwarded throughout several sections that seemed to be repetitive. This is the first of this series I'd read and was glad that Giana decided to intersperse the characters and conflict from previous books in this series into this standalone. The female narrator was SO dang Hot!! I don't regret buying this one and I will read it again and again. Both narrators were fantastic and the story was perfect for me. I had hit a book slump and then I found Giana's books and I couldn't stop listening to Inked. She knew when to call him on his nonsense while also knowing when he needed her support. I also loved that Lila was not the usual pale beauty that is in a lot of these stories (which I don't mind, it was just different). Stopped and grieved for it ending and then restarted it at Ch. Honestly, I thought Priest would be my favorite bc I am that dark. I started with Zeus's story bc of Tik tok. I have only read it through audible, but it is easily my favorite book I have collected on my account.

Because the media is also criticized for not drawing attention to, say Somalia, now suffering a drought and civil war.

So it's three things: there's the tweet at the top of the page and then the back story-what was going on that day-and then the recipe for what I tweeted about. Im using that year of my Twitter feed, where I've been tweeting about what I'm eating every day. I'm also working on a cookbook, which is also a kind of memoir about the year of losing my job at Gourmet and coming to terms with being home. I was cooking for all my friends and one friend said to me, You're such a good cook. And then Id go to Chinatown where people would give me recipes, and there was the market on Mulberry Street and these old Italian ladies were still there. I went to this little Italian butcher shop the guy loved to talk, and hed give me recipes while he was talking. 1970s New York, Lower East Side, the old Jews were still there, the old Italian mothers were still there, Little Italy, Chinatown-it was a place with all this great food, and I just started wandering around collecting recipes from people.
