Ice Cream Lover by Jackie Lau
I read Ice Cream Lover twice in one day. The joke in the title is that Drew hates ice cream and Chloe owns an Asian ice cream shop called Ginger Scoops. I 100% want an Asian ice cream store close by so that I too can have ginger ice cream in a bubble waffle cone. After reading two of Jackie Lau’s books, I’m going to need her to come out with a cookbook soon too. Ice Cream Lover is out May 21. I received this ARC in exchange […]
The Course of History: Ten Meals That Changed the World by Struan Stevenson and Tony Singh
This book almost makes me regret signing up for Netgally. What a slog. I did get this book from Netgally in exchange for an honest review. Feasting on leg of lamb, Bonnie Prince Charlie doomed the Jacobite Army at Culloden. A uniquely American menu served with French wine lubricated the conversation between rivals Jefferson and Hamilton that led to the founding of the US financial system and the location of the nation’s capital in Washington. After schweinwürst and sauerkraut with Adolf Hitler at his Berghof residence, Austrian […]
He's Not My Boyfriend by Jackie Lau
Deciding I would spend 2019 reading the books written by the women I follow on twitter is one of the best decisions I’ve made in a while. I’ve yet to come across a dud. Jackie Lau’s He’s Not My Boyfriend, is available for $.99 through the end of April. You should jump on this opportunity. Iris Chin is happily single and has no interest in being anything else. Her grandmother and mother are determined to find her a boyfriend. Alex Kwong is grieving the loss […]
American Kingpin: The Epic Hunt for the Criminal Mastermind Behind the Silk Road by Nick Bilton
This book tells the story of the kinds of people I despise: libertarians who idolize Ayn Rand and Walter White, and cops who think they are cowboys. American Kingpin: Catching the Billion-Dollar Baron of the Dark Web is a bananas story. It’s fascinating, disturbing and funny in the the way that you just have to laugh at the absurdity or rage at the horseshit. There are only a couple of people in this story I didn’t want to slap. I don’t think Nick Bilton is a […]
Beyond Series Bundle 1 by Kit Rocha
I am continuing my quest to read the books written by the amazing authors I follow on twitter. This review I get a two for one, Kit Rocha is a writing duo – Bree Bridges (@mostlybree) and Donna Herran (@totallydonna). They are smart and delightful on Twitter and you should follow them. As Kit Rocha, they have been writing dystopian erotic romances set within the same future world for several years. Their third series is coming out this fall, published by Tor. I got […]
Prince on Paper: Reluctant Royals by Alyssa Cole
I got an advanced copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. A Prince on Paper is the third novel in the Reluctant Royals series. I think you would be better off reading the first two books before you start this one so that you have a context for Nya and Johan. Nya Jerami fled Thesolo for the glitz and glamour of NYC but discovered that her Prince Charming only exists in her virtual dating games. When Nya returns home for a royal wedding, […]
