Gouda Friends

Doesn’t get any feta than this!

Gouda Friends by Cathy Yardley

April 5, 2022 by llamareadsbooks Leave a Comment

After adoring Love, Comment, Subscribe, I knew I had to read the next book in the series ASAP. Friends to lovers is a favorite trope of mine, and seeing that it involved two other members of the Nerd Herd? I was so excited! And it definitely lived up to the first book, full of humor, romance and a thoughtful exploration of some of the hurdles facing late 20-somethings. While this is the second in a series, it can be read as a standalone. “I am […]

“I’m as God wants, No more, no less”

From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily, and Finding Home by Tembi Locke

February 17, 2022 by jomidi Leave a Comment

From Scratch, a charming memoir by Trembi Locke, is a wonderful reflection on life, death, family, food, and Sicily. Trembi, a fairly successful actress whom I had never heard of, is a smart black Texan, who falls in love with a Sicilian chef while studying abroad in Rome.  This memoir covers their meeting when she is young,  the expanding of their family when they adopt a child, his losing battle with cancer, and her coming to terms with widowhood. Her husband’s family initially refuses not […]

I’m Raven and I was cravin’ a good book, but sorry to say my time of day was just took

Game of Scones: From “The Doodle Boy” Joe Whale (Bad Food #1) by Eric Luper

February 16, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Game of Scones: From “The Doodle Boy” Joe Whale (Bad Food #1) by  Eric Luper and Joe Whale on illustrations has awkward text, an awkward storyline, and art that is off putting. Yet, due to the offbeat humor that turned me off to this story of puns, allusions to pop culture and school politics, could be right for the right seven up reader. However, due to the amount of text (and even with the mostly short chapters), this might put off a reluctant reader. I […]

A Hopeful Romance with Community and So Much Good Food

A Match Made in Lipa by Carla de Guzman

February 8, 2022 by Emmalita 4 Comments

I had to stop reading this a few times to soothe my aching chest. There is an undercurrent of melancholy in Carla de Guzman’s A Match Made in Lipa that gives depth to the sweet and hopeful childhood friends to lovers romance. Kira and Santi played together as children in Lipa until Santi’s grandfather demanded the family move to Manila. Years later, Santi is wandering through Osaka, having just been fired from the family hotel business and cut off from all family money. He runs into […]

Starting the year with a sure-fire hit

A Very Beery New Year by Jackie Lau

January 16, 2022 by Malin 1 Comment

Encouraged by his mother to socialise more, introverted software developer Gerald Nakamura goes to his local craft beer bar to sit by the bar, reading a book, not really interacting with anyone except the serving staff. He especially likes exchanging a few words with the pretty and vivacious bartender Kelsey.   Kelsey lives with her rather exasperating grandmother (who just discovered Tik Tok and is determined to become a viral sensation) and works at the bar until she can find something more suitable to her […]

I really want a fancy gourmet donut now

Donut Fall in Love by Jackie Lau

December 16, 2021 by Malin 1 Comment

Disclaimer! This was an ARC from Netgalley. My views are my own, and I had already pre-ordered the book before getting the advanced reader copy. Ryan Kwok is grateful for the opportunities he’s been given. While his latest movie, a romantic comedy, isn’t getting the ravest of reviews, he’s fully aware that it’s unusual enough for rom coms to star Asian actors and he’s lucky to have gotten the chance as a romantic leading man. He’d also like to be famous for more than his […]
