Quarterly Book Club GIVEAWAY: Signed Copy of “Dead Don’t Lie” by L. R. Nicolello

We’re so thrilled to announce the beginning of a new Model Behaviors endeavor—a quarterly book club! Every three months, we’ll announce a new book, and then a month and a half later (after we’ve all had time to read it), we’ll host a discussion right here on the blog. On top of that, we’ll be giving away a copy of each new book that we announce. Excited yet? Because we are!

This month, we’re kicking things off with “Dead Don’t Lie” by L. R. Nicolello.

Song of the Week: “Cold War” by Janelle Monáe

I’m going to admit this up front so we can get it out of the way—I’ve been behind the times when it comes to Janelle Monáe. I’d always heard her name, but I never investigated any further, never gave her a true listen.

Stuffed Turkey Burgers

Who doesn’t love a burger fresh from the grill? And turkey is just the right main ingredient to make your burger healthier. To guarantee moist grilled patties, I prefer mixing turkey breast and thigh meat together. For your cardio or gluten-free guests, consider Bibb lettuce leaves instead of buns, and another great way to incorporate more veggies into this meal is to stuff them full of yummy, diced ingredients. So, don’t just rely on lettuce and tomatoes to carry the veggie responsibility. Get to stuffing those turkey burgers!

Song of the Week: “Toho” by Yelle

“Toho” is off Yelle’s third studio album, Complètement fou. Like a lot of American women, I shamelessly romanticize anything and everything French. I’ve studied abroad in France and lived with a host family. I like to think that gives me an edge over the average American visitor, but even so, I still get all giddy and swoony when someone mentions anything French. I believe there’s an extremely valid reason we romanticize it—because it’s awesome. This is only part of the reason I love Yelle, a French dance-pop group led by Julie Budet. The other part of the reason is that I’ve seen her live, and she’s just as awesome as her homeland. She owned the stage, the audience, and my heart. This latest album is no exception to her awesomeness.
