Of Course It's Good! by Jessica Secrest
I was excited when I saw this cookbook was being published. I love Jessica Secrest's cooking videos. So I put this book on hold back in January and I finally got it to read. I was not disappointed. This was one of the better cookbooks I have read. It has recipes that regular people might actually make on a regular night. The ingredients are staples you normally have without having to make a special trip to the grocery store. The directions are in normal conversational tone I would highly recommend this cookbook to anyone.

Summary (From Goodreads)
It’s 1965 and teenage Frances Adams is at an English country fair with her two best friends. But Frances’s night takes a hairpin turn when a fortune-teller makes a bone-chilling prediction: One day, Frances will be murdered. Frances spends a lifetime trying to solve a crime that hasn’t happened yet, compiling dirt on every person who crosses her path in an effort to prevent her own demise. For decades, no one takes Frances seriously, until nearly sixty years later, when Frances is found murdered, like she always said she would be.
In the present day, Annie Adams has been summoned to a meeting at the sprawling country estate of her wealthy and reclusive great-aunt Frances. But by the time Annie arrives in the quaint English village of Castle Knoll, Frances is already dead. Annie is determined to catch the killer, but thanks to Frances’s lifelong habit of digging up secrets and lies, it seems every endearing and eccentric villager might just have a motive for her murder. Can Annie safely unravel the dark mystery at the heart of Castle Knoll, or will dredging up the past throw her into the path of a killer?
As Annie gets closer to the truth, and closer to the danger, she starts to fear she might inherit her aunt’s fate instead of her fortune.
Review
I read this one for the Anything Goes Book Club. The pacing was decent enough, and though this mystery was definitely of the cozier variety, it still managed some more gripping, suspenseful moments.

Absolute Batman (2024) #1-6, 192 pages
⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
Synopsis (from Goodreads)
Bruce Wayne comes from nothing. He’s not the scion of a wealthy empire in Gotham City, he’s the son of a public school teacher who he experienced the unimaginable horror of random gun violence as a child, changing the trajectory of his life forever. With no limitless resources, no billions to fund him, no mansion, and no butler to care for him, Bruce has shaped himself into an entirely different breed of Batman, one that is equal parts brain and brawn, who exists exclusively in the grittiest and most underserved parts of Gotham with no high society mask to fall back on.
