“It sounds like your dream broke, and you’ve been picking up shattered pieces and blaming yourself when your hands bleed.”

Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert

March 25, 2021 by Malin 2 Comments

Eve is the youngest and seemingly flightiest of the three privileged Brown sisters. She’s always felt like the odd duck in the family, neither as focused nor as intelligent as her two older sisters and completely unable to settle on anything for very long. When she abruptly closes down her wedding planning business after one single event (a generally very successful wedding, that nevertheless descended into some chaos after Eve took it upon herself to liberate all the doves that the bride had wanted, and […]

Not as good as I hoped

To Drink and to Eat, Volume 2 by Guillaume Long

December 4, 2020 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

When I request a book from NetGalley, I have high hopes that I will enjoy it. I have loved graphic novels that are cookbooks or food centric memoirs. I think communicating about food lends itself to illustration. Cartoonist Guillaume Long writes a culinary comic for Le Monde, “To Drink and To Eat.” While I wasn’t familiar with him, he is apparently well loved. Unfortunately, Long got on the wrong foot with me by writing a jokey little story with recipe about Paul Gauguin moving to […]

She apes Julia Child in her title, but this is a memoir, not a cookbook. #CBRBingo – How To

Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking by Anya von Bremzen

October 31, 2020 by narfna Leave a Comment

I feel bad about only giving this one three stars, but I think it accurately reflects my reading experience. I had to read this by e-book, and that just isn’t a format that works perfectly for me, except for when I’m reading romance or fanfic. I had a hard time focusing on it. When I was able to focus, it was clear that von Bremzen was a good writer, with things to say. She writes about food, and her experiences around, so very well. This […]

Quite possibly Jackie Lau’s food-porniest book yet

Her Big City Neighbor by Jackie Lau

October 27, 2020 by Malin 1 Comment

I was given a free copy of this by the author. It has not in any way influenced my review. Amy Sharpe always wanted to go to graduate school, but when her grandmother got sick, she gave up on those plans and stayed in her small home town to take care of her. After both her grandmother and great aunt has passed away, she has now inherited her great aunt’s house in Toronto, and despite the fact that her entire family seems to disapprove of […]

A ray of golden light in these dark and depressing times

The Duke Who Didn't by Courtney Milan

October 4, 2020 by Malin 1 Comment

This was an ARC sent to me by the author. I had already pre-ordered the book, and the free copy has not influenced my review in any way. Official book description: Miss Chloe Fong has plans for her life, lists for her days, and absolutely no time for nonsense. Three years ago, she told her childhood sweetheart that he could talk to her once he planned to be serious. He disappeared that very night.   Except now he’s back. Jeremy Wentworth, the Duke of Lansing, […]
