You make soup in a big bowl. You serve it in a smaller bowl. And then you convey it, using a spoon, to your mouth. But what is the spoon? Simply a smaller bowl still

BOOK BIRTHDAY! BOOK! BIRTHDAY! I'm so excited to get SECOND HELPINGS out into the world. It's a warm, cozy and funny second-chance romance filled with found family, a chaotic deli dog named Pastrami, and all the comfort food you could ever want. I loved writing it, and I hope you'll love reading it 💜🥪
👨💻 Sam Adelson has spent more than ten years pouring his heart into Silverman's Deli, the beloved Cleveland institution his family has run for seventy-five years. So when a bad review tanks his business, Sam develops some strong feelings about the critic responsible. Fantasies involving expired clam juice may be involved.
❤️🩹 Then Jake Thompson walks through the door—Sam's first love, the one who got away. Reconnecting after over a decade feels like coming home, and having Jake around makes even the chaos of saving the deli feel manageable. But Sam’s fought to move on from the disaster that tore them apart, and now pretending it never happened is becoming more impossible every day.
🧑🍳 As Sam falls harder than he ever meant to, Jake's past begins to catch up with both of them. Some recipes are worth perfecting, even when the first attempt was a disaster—Sam just hopes this one doesn't blow up in his face...
📌 Perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and TJ Klune. Second Helpings is a male x male contemporary romance, featuring:
• Second-chance romance
• Surprise neighbors (again)
• Slow burn, mild spice
• Cozy vibes
• Grumpy Steady x Chaotic Anxious
• Forced proximity
• Food as a love language
• Found family
• He's fine (he's not fine)
Grab a copy in ebook, print or audio! You can also find this title through bookshop.org, Hoopla, requesting from your local library, and elsewhere ✨ 💕
My review: I wish I could bottle up this chatty, friendly, clever, sad, hopeful book and carry it around with me forever.
I love the third person POV from one character, we don’t get bogged down in what I’m sure is the swamp of trauma in Jake’s mind and that helps keep what could be a really heavy book feeling fairly light. Although I will admit my kid saw me reading and asked why I looked so sad. I absolutely cried twice.
Sam’s got plenty of his own shit to sort out, and I love the cast of characters around him who are there to help, or needle him, or challenge him as needed. Every single one was unique and fully formed and instantly likable or dislikable as needed.
Plus the food? Oh my god, PLEASE release a cookbook or at least link us to your inspo. More deli-based romances, please!
Thank you so much for reading and for sharing such a lovely review!! 🥰💜🥪

🌈 My new book, SECOND HELPINGS, is out tomorrow; what better time to show you the gorgeous cover for my next one? COMFORT READ is an extravaganza of fake dating, cozy bookshop vibes, Hollywood chaos, a cat whose owner can't prove he ISN'T a warlock trapped in a human body, and, of course, big queer joy 🤩
📚 A-list actor Sage Ballard needs to rescue his reputation. Bookshop owner Kit Forrest just wants to save his beloved local business from shutting down. All they have to do is convince the world they're madly in love. Pumpkin spice, old paperbacks, and a romance that's about to get very real...
☕️ COMFORT READ comes out in October, but you can preorder your copy right here: https://geni.us/1579-al-aut-ch

i am banned from eating my herring inside. they make me eat it on the smoking area by the loading dock, under the theory that it already smells bad there. but it was raining today which was preventing my breakfast, so i was feeling sad and hungry and then i realized that there was a large cardboard box in the dumpster from a previous delivery. like a fridge sized box. so i fished it out of the dumpster, then tipped it on its side and had a nice little cardboard cave to watch the rain and eat my fish in. which was a great experience. very soothing. very zen. at least until the security guard from the day before stepped outside to smoke. then i tried hiding from him by crawling deeper in the box, which unfortunately did not work. instead he saw a sort of damp sniveling pale hairless creature eating fish in a box, and delivered the verbal killshot of "good morning, mr. smeagol." which is how my day was ruined before 8 am.
Extremely excited to tell you that my next book, SECOND HELPINGS, is available to request on NetGalley!
SAM ADELSON hasn't given up on love: he loves Silverman's Deli, the family restaurant in Cleveland that he's worked at since he was a teenager. Romance with an actual person isn't off the table for Sam either; it's just that he's not going to get out of bed for anything less than the real thing.
The last person who made Sam feel the real thing? JAKE THOMPSON, his high school neighbor-turned-friend-turned-situationship. Their passionate if half-baked teen connection would have bloomed out into something more serious if either one of them had been able to really talk about it back then... Or if disaster hadn't struck one awful night, changing everything between them and triggering 10 years of radio silence.
But when Jake unwittingly moves into the building behind Sam's, making them neighbors once again, it turns out that old fire is still sending up sparks. Sam's dealing with the aftermath of a terrible review that's tanked traffic at his beloved deli, and scrambling to keep the business alive. Jake, a former ballet dancer who once dreamed of going pro, is fresh out of an awful relationship on the other side of the country, and has moved home to take on his first-ever gig as a dance teacher.
With so much to deal with, and so much baggage, there's no reason things should work out any better between them this time than they did back then. But sometimes lightning strikes twice... ⚡️
You can request a copy on NetGalley here, and I'd be delighted and honored if you did! These are strange and scary times, but it's my opinion that a few hours visiting a world full of queer joy (not to mention a full cast of delightful side characters, a deli dog called Pastrami who might as well be a Muppet, found family, blood family, delicious food, and lots of love, laughter, and heart) is good for the soul 😄💜

The "Breath of the Wild"ification of games nowadays (particularly first party Nintendo games) is legitimately one of the most frustrating trends in all of gaming imo No, I don't want my Metroid game to have shrines in a big wasteland with nothing in it to be more like BOTW. No, I don't want an open world Mario Kart if the actual track design is going to suffer because of it. And certainly no, I don't want games that would work fine if they were linear (or even just open zone instead) being open world for no particular reason. Legitimately it is hard to play any game that comes out these days because everything must be a giant open world with small mini challenges on the map because "Well Breath of the Wild did it! We can too!" No! Stop it! Genuinely please stop! I'm tired of every game being open world! Limitations on what the player can do or where they can go can be a good thing! I will take cohesive level design over massive worlds that have nothing to do in them!

I hate when people ask me how long it took me to crochet something I’ve made. Frankly, that’s none of my business. I put the yarn on the hook and worked on it whenever the spirit happened to take me to and then one day it was done. How long that process took is between the yarn and god; I want no part of it.
it’s between the yarn and the spirits that possessed me to create this

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Having ADHD is so fun because sometimes youre looking for something that you use regularly and definitely put away in a smart and reasonable place and you have absolutely 0 hope of remembering where and finding it. And then other times ur like "hmm I need a some kind of small pointed object. I feel like i remember seeing a paperclip under the left couch cushion a month ago, i wonder if its still there" and it is
"wait but if u saw the paperclip why would u just leave it there?" its the adhd. Also if i had put it away then i wouldnt have been able to find it a month later when i needed it. So. Checkmate neurotypicals.
Problem is when the ADHD catalogue is out of date, when you go to check under the couch cushion for that paperclip and it ISNT there, sometimes your brain will just give you a montage of false memories of everywhere you've ever seen a paper clip, like this
yeah yeah the paperclip montage, we've all seen it
omfg that is just too adorable
