An Ode to Quit Lit and Book Nerds Who Survived on Book It Pizza in the 90s

The world was our playground, and for many of us, that playground had a particular centerpiece: the smell of hot, cheesy pizza fresh out of the oven at Pizza Hut, earned through the scholastic glory of reading books. Yes, we’re talking about Book It—a program that defined the childhoods of countless book nerds like myself, who devoured both literature and pizza with equal enthusiasm.

Elle MacPherson has been Sober for Over 20 Years

In March, Australian model Elle MacPherson took to Instagram to celebrate 20 years of sobriety. The 59-year-old proudly shared a snap of her blue and gold Alcoholics Anonymous tri-plate token, complete with 'XX' in the middle, which stands for 20 in Roman numerals.

Back in 2020, Elle opened up about her decision to go sober to mark a milestone birthday - her 40th. While speaking to Gritty Pretty magazine, she said: "It's funny, 40 is such an introspective year. I actually got sober when I was 40. I felt like I wanted to spend time in introspection," she continued. Elle's sober living decision was part of a pledge to concentrate on her own health and wellness during her 40s and beyond.
