I’ve been on a book buying kick

I’ve got lots of new books on the way and this is my first delivery. The Good Girl’s Guide to Murder was a book suggestion I found here and so far the books I find here I have been great so I decided to just get the whole set. My weekend starts soon and I can’t wait to get this series started. #lemon8bookclub #reading #books

Stop Buying Takeout Make These Crab Rangoon Eggrol
These crab rangoon eggrolls are everything you want in one bite. Crispy on the outside, creamy and packed with flavor on the inside. The mozzarella adds that extra melt and the chili flakes give just enough kick. I kept turning them while frying so they came out evenly golden all the way around.

How I got through college without buying a book
Funny enough. all my professors post lectures notes which are usually enough for the entire course. And the only time I have ever bought a book was for an open book course, so obviously you need it for the test. Then I go on the interwebs and find one that's ~5 years old and buy it for $20-30.
