Hi, I'm Rachel.

A few years ago I could barely boil water.

True story.

Determined to be a kick ass wife, I developed a love for football and learned to cook in my tiny Jersey City kitchen. I spend my days working in Manhattan, my nights and weekends chasing after a rambunctious toddler, and the hours in between cooking with my husband and feeding my TV habit...oh, and I blog about it all!

What I'm Reading Now

 

Recently I've been in a bit of a book rut. I tend to go through spurts where I can't get through books fast enough, and then will take long lulls of not being inspired by any to read. When I saw that Khaled Housseini had come out with a new book, And The Mountains Echoed, I downloaded it onto my Kindle without even reading the synopsis. After being totally obsessed with A Thousand Splendid Suns and liking The Kite Runner (not as much as Suns, though), I knew that this would be a book to add to my list. At just 50 pages in, I've already cried twice. Sigh.

 

On a happier note, I also just finished Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling. I blew right through this one. I was actually quite indifferent towards her prior to reading her book and only picked it up as a nice, easy read and hoping for a few laughs. Well, I ended up laughing out loud through the whole thing. Defnitely recommend!

 

What are you reading lately?

So good to know!! I saw this book in the bookstore recently and was intrigued.

I'm reading (and LOVING) Dan Brown's Inferno now. I was in a book rut too but this one rekindled my love for reading. Good one to add to your summer read list.

I saw Mindy's book and I am currently indifferent as well. That might be a great read for my upcoming trip! I also loved Kite Runner and Thousand Splendid Suns. Can't wait to hear what you think of the new book!
