Finished Tender at the Bone: Growing Up at the Table by Ruth Reichl on April 4th for a book about food. It was a great read and very entertaining. You could say that I 'devoured' it haha

Finished the audiobook for Becoming by Michelle Obama read by the author. Really enjoyed this one and there's something so special about being able to listen to Michelle tell her story - it was like listening to a story from a friend.
