Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is out Tuesday, and it’s easily one of the best books I’ve read this year. Bring it on vacation or enjoy it on the couch. Either way, you’re golden.

Queen of Hearts is such a fun listen! It’s a new blind dating podcast hosted by Jujubee from RuPaul’s Drag Race.
This prosciutto, peach sandwich is divine.
How cute are these small children having a rager at daycare?

Talk to you next week,
