Not out of principle, just laziness, and possibly a long-standing belief that non-fiction was somehow more virtuous. I picked this one up after hearing Anne Hathaway had bought the film rights, which is not usually how I choose what to read but here we are, easily led as ever. I was hooked almost immediately. The main character, Natalie, is an insufferable Christian woman, and I mean that as the highest compliment....]]></description><link>https://www.creativveculture.com/post/book-review-yesteryear-by-caro-claire-burke</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a6e0be7879f0041e504dc5f</guid><pubDate>Sat, 01 Aug 2026 15:30:40 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/6866c1_d2614b03adfe4b3186d9d7dfcb207080~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>beth Foster</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Secret Birthday Trip to Barcelona (He Still Doesn't Know How Long I Planned It)]]></title><description><![CDATA[I planned an entire birthday trip for someone without telling him. Which, if you think about it for too long, is basically a small-scale con. Mike turned 30, and instead of a card, he got a boarding pass. I'd like to say this was an act of pure generosity. Really it was an excuse to go and stand in front of some very old buildings and take some cool photos.

Cascais is one of them. Thirty minutes from Lisbon airport (a single Uber, no faff) sits a town that has absolutely no right to be this good. Royal heritage, a working marina, proper restaurants, and enough coastal drama to make you feel like you've done something meaningful with a Tuesday.
