I'm in Bath, England, and all the restaurants are labeled as such. So I'll be enjoying Tortilla Bath, Coffee Bath, Desserts Bath, Falafel Bath. I feel like I'm living in a kids' book.

Oh, I love that! It sounds like it's a great place to share resources and updates.

Writing friends, do you have a website? If not, why not? If so, are you happy with it?

Sign on the Barcelona metro that says: an evening on social media or a good book? Three hours on your phone is the same as reading about 90 pages.

Barcelona is like, we told y'all, now we're turning off the WiFI ๐Ÿ˜‚

This ad campaign in Barcelona is brutal... they're all like, stop scrolling and read a book/ go for a walk/ make a friend/ go for a bike ride, you lazy POS. I love it & feel personally attacked โค๏ธ

Super old sun dial: recorda que els temps passa, cami de l'iternitat/ remember that time passes, road to eternity

I'll admit, I had not considered this possibility, and yet now it seems like the only logical explanation.

I hear a lot of talk about comps, but does anyone have an 'anti-comp'?

I do, and it's Adelaide. I want my book to show a very different 'American woman moves abroad' story. Sorry, not sorry.

Two rows of giant green onions on a grill.

Two rows of giant green onions on a grill.

Have you tried calรงots? It's a giant onion that you grill and then eat with romesco sauce. Highly recommend.

We made 6,000 of them for the neighborhood yesterday with the Castellers of Barcelona. Fem Calรงots, fem barri.

Currently reading Tartufo by Kira Jane Buxton. I'm still early in the book, but dare I say I may actually have found a comp???!

Also, the writing is incredible.

PSA: if someone is out of office the 15-19, do not email them on the 19 and expect a response. They are still out of office, that's what 15-19 means.

It's Summer Day here in Albania!!

The weather isn't 100% cooperating, but today marks the end of winter for Albanians.

They wear red & white string bracelets, and when they fall off, they throw them in the trees for the birds to use in their nests.
