Thanks so much for the recommendation for Night Swimmers. I look forward to reading it and also You Are Here for our little book club (which I thoroughly enjoy--especially the tangents!).

You set a helpful example when you stop reading a book that doesn't capture your interest--as you say, life is too short to read books that don't appeal to you or are too dark for your mood. I'm glad reading books isn't a competitive sport as there are too many things that ought to be fun that get ruined by that attitude.

As for quiche, yours looks really great, Marg! I'm not a great quiche maker, with the last one I made turning out like scrambled eggs in a crust, I'm ashamed to say (not a happy admission to make from someone who claims to be a food blogger!). But maybe I'll give it another try. Looking at yours made me very hungry! Thanks as always for this great mix of books and food!

Thanks Ruth. I have also had many quiche disasters. Sometimes they are too ‘eggy’ or they go hard (cooked too long I imagine) but this one turned out very well. I’m also very bad at making scrambled eggs, if that’s of any comfort to you 😀 but I read a great tip the other day to put Dijon mustard in the mixture to stabilise and soften the eggs. I haven’t tried it yet but I plan to.

I loved "You Are Here." David Nicholls is one of my favorite writers.

I’m so glad you said this. I’m always a little nervous about choosing a book but this one sounds lovely. I didn’t really like One Day as I thought the main character was a cad, but I loved the recent series on Netflix.

I didn't know about the Netflix series! I will check that out. I really liked "Us."
