I made some more fan art, this one from my favorite line in Jami Attenberg’s The Middlesteins. I loved Edie, and even though food was ultimately her downfall, there was something beautiful about her hearty enjoyment of it, which this line sums up perfectly. 

(I know the pub date for The Middlesteins isn’t until the end of October, but this was too good not to share immediately.) 

Just a reminder that Ami + Jami = Bliss

Extra reminder, and come to The MIddlesteins paperback launch here, June 6!

I forgot about how freaking awesome this was. Thanks for reminding me ladies.

This is perfection:

literaryreference:

You know how it is, right, ladies? You know a guy for a while. You hang out with him. You do fun things with him—play video games, watch movies, go hiking, go to concerts. You invite him to your parties. You listen to his problems. You do all this because you think he wants to be your friend.

But then, then comes the fateful moment where you find out that all this time, he’s only seen you as a potential girlfriend. And then if you turn him down, he may never speak to you again. This has happened to me time after time: I hit it off with a guy, and, for all that I’ve been burned in the past, I start to think that this one might actually care about me as a person. And then he asks me on a date…

And now we get hot dogs!

Unfortunately I am not one of those ladies who gets prettier when she works out, but since I don’t plan on children, finishing a half marathon is probably the only time I can be called radiant.

Definitely in my Top Ten Weekends of All Time.
