My The Color Purplemight work for BBQ. So far they haven’t had a “everyone gets together for a shindig and kids play and dads grill and there are fireworks” kind of deal. But they eat a lot of barbecue (yes, they actually use the word) and mention cooking it.

I am on pace to read double what I have previously, so I've got you covered. I'm traveling for work and have a lot of free evening time and travel time to read that I don't usually have. :)

I'm reading Not That Bad: Dispatches from Rape Culture and it has Roxane Gay as the editor, but it has a whole list of contributing authors as well. Can I include them as part of the spell it out?
