Some Happy Making Things
A curling snack bowl, the fans we all need and Olympic smut (written by me?)
First, a fun thing. I am giving away a one-year subscription to this substack FREE when you pre-order Parisian Heist from any bookstore. You can enter your details here. Preorders matter so much for getting this book attention so I am starting the hard push now. You can get personalized and signed copies from Bluebird here.
We’ll be putting a ton of great stuff behind the paywall going forward and doing just one free newsletter a week, so if you were going to order this wonderful book, it is a great time to do it.
We all deserve to read some happy making things this week.
This reel of dads attending a class to learn to do their daughters’ hair (while also drinking beer) is the sweetest.
My latest bookish obsession is PageMatch, the upcoming Spotify app that helps you sync up your print reading and audio book listening. I tend to read a lot in both formats so that I can listen on the go and then read in bed at night and this is going to make it sooooo much easier.
This episode of Good Hang with Claire Danes is such a delight in many, many ways.
I recently got this kitchen tool from Misen that is ostensibly a fish spatula, but it is also a magic multi tool. I’ve used it to get fudge out of the baking tin, to serve pie and to flip pancakes. I just really like something that can do all the things.
I have been channelling Michelle Obama on finding the purpose in your rage
And now onto a whole new section of happy-making—the Olympics.
Order Parisian Heist today and I will upgrade you to a paid subscriber for one year for free. More delicious and delightful content below, including how we created an entire winter Olympics for our kids up in the Catskills that was both a success and a failure.
