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 […]

Breaking Free from Zebra Thinking

50 Ways to Soothe Yourself Without Food by Susan Albers

August 13, 2021 by esmemoria Leave a Comment

CBR Bingo – Self Care 50 Ways to Soothe Yourself Without Food is a helpful book by Susan Albers to assist those of us who overeat from stress, emotional difficulties, loneliness, or other reasons. I chose this book as my self-care Bingo book as I am in the process of losing weight and I am a big-time stress/emotional eater. I needed some guidance on how to handle my issues without automatically turning to food. Food is indeed a pleasure and can be used for comfort, […]

Yet another book to save for when you’re not hungry

The Professor Next Door by Jackie Lau

August 8, 2021 by Malin 1 Comment

CBR13 Bingo: Pandemic This book was granted to me as an ARC from the author in return for an honest review. I had already pre-ordered the book, as Jackie Lau is now an auto-buy for me. While this is technically the third entry in the Cider Bar Sisters series, each of the books in the series works perfectly well as a stand-alone. The first book in the series, Her Big City Neighbor is currently available free, however (as of me writing this), so if you’re […]

Can’t eat foods with a kick? Then kick back and read about it!

No Kimchi for Me by Aram Kim

Babies Can’t Eat Kimchee by Nancy Patz

July 27, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I am not a fan of spicy foods. Or should say, they are not a fan of me. Therefore, I get my “kick” reading books about spicy foods. Thankfully due to the plethora of books out there, you can find almost any food you want. And two of these books I happened to find dealt with kimchi. A food I have wanted to try but know would do more than try me! Therefore, I will stick with the safe bet and keep reading. The book […]
