It's ! This week, Lisa is watching the first season of Yellowjackets. Here's what she thinks so far:
"To what lengths would you go to survive if your plane crashed in the wilderness? This question and more are explored in the first season of this addictive show featuring Christina Ricci, Juliette Lewis, Tawny Cypress and Melanie Lynskey, as the adult versions of girls who survived such a crash in 1996. The show alternates between what happened in 1996 and the present and I cannot wait for the 2nd season! It’s dark, but so good, so be prepared with a palate cleanser if you think you might need it."

In Jeannée Sacken's novel DOUBLE EXPOSURE, a seasoned war photojournalist finds she's under investigation for an incident that took place six months earlier in Afghanistan.
Book Club Menu: Salaateh Afghani (Afghan salad) with naan
“Whenever DOUBLE EXPOSURE’s seasoned photojournalist, Annie Hawkins, returns home to Milwaukee after an assignment, she craves spicy soy chai and pumpkin cranberry muffins at her local coffee shop—Colectivo on the Lake—Lake Michigan, that is. But when she goes to Afghanistan to help build a secondary school for girls, she indulges in a feast of her favorite dishes: ashak dumplings stuffed with leeks, succulent chicken kebabeh sikhi, the tender eggplant in banjaan borani, a fragrant sabzi lamb and spinach curry, the national rice and meat specialty palaw kabuli. Crisp greens in salaateh Afghani and Naan flatbread round out the meal. Until dessert, of course. Annie loves baklava and sugared almonds. A buttery sweet kulcheh badami cookie, an Eid celebration favorite could also be on her plate, accompanied by a cup of chai sabz. Although alcohol isn’t on the menu, I’m sure you could serve a nice wine. Or, as Annie’s lover, U.S. Navy SEAL Captain Finn Cerelli says, ‘You can get some fine scotch—if you know the right people.’”

"This high-intensity story with even higher stakes has a female protagonist that is relatable in her struggles, but also a role model in her convictions. With a close connection to the military, this story encapsulates the intricacies of correspondents and the struggles of PTSD and nightmares after being embedded in a war zone. Readers will enjoy this refreshing take of a female central character in a mostly male-dominated genre." -Booklist

In DOUBLE EXPOSURE by Jeannée Sacken, a seasoned war photojournalist finds she's under investigation for an incident that took place six months earlier in Afghanistan.
Book Club Menu: Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins and Chai
“Whenever DOUBLE EXPOSURE’s seasoned photojournalist, Annie Hawkins, returns home to Milwaukee after an assignment, she craves spicy soy chai and pumpkin cranberry muffins at her local coffee shop—Colectivo on the Lake—Lake Michigan, that is. But when she goes to Afghanistan to help build a secondary school for girls, she indulges in a feast of her favorite dishes: ashak dumplings stuffed with leeks, succulent chicken kebabeh sikhi, the tender eggplant in banjaan borani, a fragrant sabzi lamb and spinach curry, the national rice and meat specialty palaw kabuli. Crisp greens in salaateh Afghani and Naan flatbread round out the meal. Until dessert, of course. Annie loves baklava and sugared almonds. A buttery sweet kulcheh badami cookie, an Eid celebration favorite could also be on her plate, accompanied by a cup of chai sabz. Although alcohol isn’t on the menu, I’m sure you could serve a nice wine. Or, as Annie’s lover, U.S. Navy SEAL Captain Finn Cerelli says, ‘You can get some fine scotch—if you know the right people.’”
