After my month-long trip to Andalucia in May, I decided that staying home for a bit was a good idea. I would use that time during June, July, and August - quiet months in Charleston- to work on…. me. I know, shocking! A few short trips here and there entertained me enough without breaking my summer resolutions. I am going away for a couple of weeks in August and will be back with more news and resources to share! I rewarded my good behavior with serious pampering, including facials and massages. I also did some online “sale” shopping at Saks and Bergdorfs and snatched a few goodies that I had been eyeing for a while (more rewards for my excellent behavior!) I have read and watched and shopped and eaten and cooked. Here are the highlights: Read:The Mostly True Story of Tanner Louise by Coleen Oakley. Wonderfully charming and enlightening story of friendship across the ages and, by the same author The Invisible Husband of Frick Island, my favorite book this summer (so far) Zero Days by Ruth Ware. A fast-moving thriller that will keep you entertained. The Art Thief by Michael Finkel. Based on the true story of one of the most notorious art thieves. The poolside reading included Lucy Foley's The Paris Apartment and The Hunting Party. Both riveting mysteries very much in an elegant Agatha Christie style. Watch:Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. (In theaters) Absolutely fantastic. A huge amount of fun and a brilliant end to the series. Well done!Hijack (Apple TV) Idris Elba stars in a hijack plane story. I loved it. Ridley (PBS) Irresistible police procedural inspired by real stories of retired policemen who are asked to rejoin as consultants. Sound of Freedom (In theaters) If there is one movie to see, this is it. Eye-opening, well done, and touching a subject we should all be very concerned about. Collect:A new gallery in town by the fabulously talented Stephen Elliott Webb showcases his art and artistry in grand abstract bold paintings. They are fabulous! This new space is his studio and gallery located at The Jasper at 320 Broad St. Please make a point of visiting his website and his gallery when in town. Eat:Now addicted to the salted pecans from Trader Jo's. Cook: White Asparagus Gazpacho This recipe has changed my cold summer soup repertoire. So easy to make -all you need is a blender- and totally delicious. Serve it very cold, garnished with mini croutons or bits of green asparagus. I have made it both with and without the hard-boiled egg with excellent results. The egg makes it thicker and creamier, more like the texture of vichyssoise. Without the egg, it is closer to a regular tomato gazpacho. (The ice cubes help with the amalgamation of the olive oil)* 1 lb jarred with asparagus (with their liquid)* 2-inch piece of cucumber, peeled* 1 hard-boiled egg (optional) * 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar* 4 tablespoons olive oil* Handful of ice cubes* 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper or more to taste Place all the ingredients in a blender and pure until very smooth. Transfer to a container and chill until ready to serve. Thank you for subscribing. Leave a comment or share this episode.

Anders Caldwell has writing in his blood, so he decides to pursue his story-telling ways through a podcast about a tiny island off the coast of Maryland called Frick Island. The 94 residents on the island only come and go via Bob Dan's boat, and there is no cell tower or internet, so Anders can take the liberty of sharing all of the islanders' quirks with the outside world without fear of reprisal. Nothing changes on Frick Island, not the inedibly sweet cake they're famous for or its lack of alcohol. The folks who live here support each other and even pretend to see dead ex-residents when the need arises. Close knit doesn't begin to describe their enmeshment. What will happen as the island finally gets a cell tower? Will outside influence tear them apart or draw them together? Hop onto Bob Dan's boat and see for yourself! Today, we are drinking two non-alcoholic wines that would fit right in on Frick Island and one that is only 10.5% alcohol. The first non-alcoholic wine is a bubbly rose from Gruvi, that reads more like a jolly rancher or a sweetart than a wine, and the second is a Mosel Riesling from Leitz, redolent of acidic apple. The lower alcohol sip is COS Nero d'Avola, a dry Sicilian wine with notes of red cherry and tomato leaf that pairs well with beef stew, lentils, mushrooms or barbecue. See for yourself whether you miss the alcohol. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/readingbetweenthewines/support

Lisa and her guest Leslie Hopping have a spooky discussion about Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Leslie will be the co-host of a bookish podcast named Book Bumble that will launch soon.  There are spoilers of the book. Links to articles:The Guardian describes it as, “Lovecraft meets the Brontes in Latin America," and Vox calls it a deliciously creepy novel.  The Chicago Review of Books says character Noemi Taboada is not the “naïve damsel figure." The New York Public Library lists the history of the gothic genre and Book Riot offers gothic definitions. Moreno-Garcia has posted her eugenics thesis. In a CBS This Morning podcast Moreno-Garcia explains why she wrote a Gothic set in Mexico.  The History Channel explains eugenics and in an NPR piece, with Moreno-Garcia it is stated the evil of the book is colonialism. Books mentioned in the podcast: Jane Eyre by Charlotte BronteThe Complete Fiction of H.P. LovecraftWuthering Heights by Emily BronteRebecca by Daphne du MaurierGods of Jade and Shadow by Moreno-GarciaVelvet Was the Night by Moreno-Garcia At the end of each show, Lisa or her guest discuss books they've enjoyed in, “Everyone Hated It But Me.” Everyone Hated It But Me Books: The Invisible Husband of Frick Island by Colleen Oakley The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh The Children of Jacosta by Natalie Haynes Circe by Madeline Miller A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker Ariadne by Jennifer Saint   The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Vitoria Christopher Murray For more information, find Lisa on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and her website. *The book titles mentioned include affiliate links and the podcast receives a small commission.

Kristan and I discuss Pack Up the Moon, how reading books about other people's grief provides a safe way to cry over the things in your own life, why she chose to incorporate letters into her book, providing a story for a group of people who don't often get their own story, the origin of her title, her own experience with a medium and much more. Kristan's recommended reads are: The Invisible Husband of Frick Island by Colleen Oakley The Girl with Stars in Her Eyes by Xio Axelrod The Midnight Library by Matt Haig Every Patient Tells a Story: Medical Mysteries and the Art of Diagnosis by Lisa Sanders Support or sponsor an episode of the podcast here.   If you enjoyed this episode and want to listen to more episodes, try Katherine St. John, Steven Rowley, Emiko Jean, Jeff Arch, and Hala Alyan.

I straight up adored both this book, and it's author. I'm a sucker for books with interesting and quirky characters, humor, and mystery--especially when there's just enough sadness to make that lump form in my throat but I'm hopeful that it's all going to work out in the end. And when a story like this is set on a small island that is just as much of a character as any of the characters? TOTALLY IN! Listen in as I chat with author Colleen Oakley about the island that Frick island is based on, where the title came from...and an embarrassing secret story from her journalism days!
