Looking for book recommendations for my mom

My mom is an older doctor so she doesn’t have a ton of time for reading every day, usually just an hour or less before bed, or for a little while on the weekends. She’s been getting more and more into reading, so I’ve been giving her some books I’ve seen are very popular (or that I read and enjoyed). She doesn’t like anything super crass or raunchy. Books I know she loved:
- Project Hail Mary & The Martian (altho sci-fi isn’t usually her preferred genre, this was just a good fit because of the vibe of the book, if that makes sense. And absolutely no time travel)
- A Man Called Ove
- Uneducated
- Remarkably Bright Creatures
- The Overstory
- Confederates in the Attic
- Braiding Sweetgrass
- The Hidden Life of Trees
- Drive Your Plough Over the Bones of the Dead

As you can see, she kind of reads all genres. She’ll also pick up a John Grisham from time to time. No romance or romantasy please, and no Freida McFadden or Colleen Hoover. Thanks!

There was an idea …

I love Oreo fluff and recently I got really high and realized there are so many different cookie and pudding flavors (the dark ones are the original flavor are bc I ran out of the cinnamon roll flavored ones). I kind of want to do the peanut butter Oreos with butterscotch pudding for a sort of scotcheroo fluff, or double the recipe but with one box of chocolate pudding and one box of butterscotch… the possibilities are endless

anyway this was delicious and I need to lie down

walk with me… scotcheroo buckeye brownies

I’ve never made/had buckeye anything and thought the brownie version sounded good, but I do happen to be from the midwest and love a good scotcheroo, so I subbed half the chocolate in the ganache for butterscotch chips.

There aren’t any rice krispies because I’m stoned to the bone and I don’t want my fudgy texture to have a crispy texture or my mouth is gonna get all weird feeling.

I would recommend you make these asap and DON’T say anything about my nails I’m getting them done this week

BRINITY

I noticed when Bryce was talking about Trinity bringing out the joy in him that she was wearing this stunning bright yellow!!! And I thought this whole exchange between Bryce and Zach about his feelings for Trinity was so sweet. Especially when Zach asked, “do you think you’re on the way to love?” and Bryce replied, “isn’t that the whole point?” 😭

[IIL] Instrumentals like New Life by Thomas Bergersen and Helsinki by Marcus Warner

This might be a long shot because these songs are about 8-10 years old, but I used to listen to this kind of music a lot as a teenager and am just now getting back into it. I tend to listen to the same few songs on a loop every day for months at a time, but I’d like to add a couple more. Also my only parameters would be that I don’t really like songs in minor key, and I’d prefer if it doesn’t have any easily discernible words. New Life does have singing but I have no idea what they’re saying (and I’d like to keep it that way). I’ll put the links to the songs in the title below if that helps. Thank you for any suggestions!

i did half with sprinkles, half with extra frosting (2 not pictured) and they’re definitely better on day 2. in regard to the size and shape… don’t get TOO high that you forget to read the directions in the recipe :(
