Shortlisted Title - A New Shade of Summer

Favorite food to grill - Chicken kabobs! We grill them about once a week. So yummy! The kids love to help skewer the peppers and fresh pineapple to the marinated chicken. It’s one of our favorite dinners to eat in the summer.

The beach read I’d recommend right now - Sadly, I haven’t read many beachy-type reads lately (although I love them!), but I have enjoyed some books by Jenny Colgan (a general market author) who has a new release out, The Endless Beach. I’m planning to read it on my vacation next week!

The song I'm singing along to in my car - I'm in love with the song, "I Get To Love You" by Ruelle. The lyrics inspired my current writing project, so it gets played a lot!

Shortlisted Title - True to You.
Favorite food to grill - Balsamic marinated chicken.

The beach read I’d recommend right now - What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty.  The main character, Alice, has amnesia and forgets a huge chunk of her life. I had a blast discovering, alongside Alice, all the things she’d forgotten. Liane writes with a great deal of heart and humor.  Her characters are achingly, astonishingly real.

The song I'm singing along to in my car - "What About Us" by
Pink. Every time it comes on the radio, my nine year old and I both belt it out.

Shortlisted Title - Jane of Austin

Favorite food to grill - Kabobs! Especially if they’re truly Mediterranean-inspired, with lots of garlic, lemon, and herbs.

The beach read I'd recommend right now - Georgette Heyer’s The Grand Sophy - all the witty hijinks a girl could want on a beach.

The song you’re singing along to in my car - Ginny Owens’ "The Loudest Voice." Soooo catchy and happy! Also love Lucius' song "How Loud Your Heart Gets." I'll never not be obsessed with that song.

Shortlisted Title - Just Look Up

Favorite food to grill - I’m going with a traditional burger (mostly because I eat one every single night!)

The beach read I’d recommend right now - How do I pick just ONE!!?? I’m loving Slightly South of Simple by Kristy Woodson Harvey, but beach reads are my FAVORITE so I’ve got a pretty big stack!

The song I'm singing along to in my car - Oh, gosh, normally some tune from whatever show we’re directing, but I’m embarrassed to admit that as of yesterday my daughter introduced me to a new song by Five Seconds of Summer called “Lie to Me”. The lyrics are really ridiculous, but the song is so catchy. I can’t get it out of my head!

Shortlisted Title - Then There Was You
 
Favorite food to grill - Chili and lime marinated prawns.

The beach read I’d recommend right now - It’s winter in New Zealand so the beach feels a loooong way away but I recently read Lisa Wingate’s Before We Were Yours on vacation and loved it! It’s a split time novel set in the 1930s and today about illegal adoption based on the true story of Georgia Tann and the Tennessee Children’s Society.

The song I'm singing along to in my car - I am very rarely alone in the car but my 4-year-old loves singing when we’re driving and the current favourite is “I had a little turtle." I know it by heart ("I had a little turtle, his name was Tiny Tim. I put him in the bathtub to see if he could swim…") plus bonus actions
