InstantPot Miracle Vegetarian Cookbook: More Than 100 Easy Meatless Meals for Your Favorite Kitchen Device by Urvashi Pitre

by 8 Comments

I love my InstantPot. I was a vegetarian for over 20 years. I have heard great things about Urvashi Pitre, but have never really looked at her recipes. When I saw InstantPot Miracle Vegetarian Cookbook: More Than 100 Easy Meatless Meals for Your Favorite Kitchen Device available for request on NetGalley, it seemed like a good ask.  I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. Shortly before I received the arc, I cleaned out the pantry and discovered that we somehow have 4 mostly […]

I Don’t Not Like You

The Trouble With Hating You by Sajni Patel

by Leave a Comment

I recommend Sajni Patel’s debut, The Trouble With Hating You, with some caution. Not everyone is going to like Liya, the prickly main character, and I cannot speak to the quality of the Desi representation. It’s high drama and angst with low heat. I enjoyed enough about the book that I would be interested in reading more from the author. I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The drama in the book may also put some people off. Most significantly, there […]

Ace and Rory Return

Starcrossed by Allie Therin

by Leave a Comment

Starcrossed is a sequel to Spellbound and in no way stands on it’s own. We dive right in to the continuing adventures of Rory and Arthur (aka Ace).

As much as they were able to resolve in Spellbound, they live in a world hostile to gay men. Ace has too high a social profile to be even […]

In the Middle of the Adventure

Starbreaker by Amanda Bouchet

by Leave a Comment

I received the second book in Amanda Bouchet’s Endeavor series from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I started reading right before the pandemic shut everything down. It took me a month to get through the first two chapters. That’s not the book’s fault, it’s my brain. Once I was actually able to focus on the book, I enjoyed it. Starbreaker is a middle book and does not stand on it’s own, nor is much resolved. Characters evolve and the plot moves forward, but […]

A Lovely Light Vacation Romance with a Content Warning

Island Affair by Priscilla Oliveras

by Leave a Comment

I received Island Affair by Priscilla Oliveras from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. It was a lovely read and a nice vacation from sheltering in my house. There are a couple of heavier things about it that I’ll get into later. Since both come up early in the book, there won’t be spoilers. Luis is a third generation Cuban American Key West native and like his father, brothers, and sister a member of the Key West Fire Department. His captain has just made him […]
