A celebration of rom-coms? SOLD! I can’t pick a favorite, but I watched When Harry Met Sally for the first time last year and I can’t believe I went so long without it.

Thank you -- more books for me to check out. Two thoughts:

1) I love that you included a link to "up to 11", as I was just telling a friend the other day about this trope, someone who has never seen the movie.

2) Your reference to the book "Time for Dinner" reminded me of a book I bought way back in 1997 and still have: "What's for Dinner", by Maryana Vollstedt. It's related in that it's about good recipes that taste good and are easy to cook and with ingredients you probably already have on hand. The binding on my copy has long since fallen apart; I've used it many times.

Some really good stuff here.

My favorite romcom of all time is Notting Hill, but a close second, which no one else ever mentions, is Excess Baggage, with Benicio Del Toro and Alicia Silverstone.

When it's dark and stormy I usually want something warm and fuzzy but this one sounded fun! Idea: what to read if you've been watching his years season of True Detective. It reminds me a little of a novel I read years ago by a Scandinavian author. I'm looking for the name now.

Harry met sally will always be my go to watch. Hands down. Thank you for sharing this book. I’ll get this in my “I want to read” books.

As a huge Jenny R fan, I can’t believe I’ve never heard of Time for Dinner! Guessing it’s backlist? The rom-com book is also definitely going on my TBR! Thanks, Elizabeth!
