Even though this book has nothing to do with New York, it came to mind for #NewYorkMinute because the romance develops so quickly, leading to some drastic changes in Emily's life—it's a delight to read, full of art and Italian food, and one of my favorites from last year. #RockinMay
I am burning through books lately! Let's hope the streak continues with this one. Should be a fun, light read if other Reay books I've read are any indication.
This book is so dreamy!!!

While I originally thought this was going to be one of those romances that tries to make you believe in love at first sight, it quickly turned into a story of the struggles of family obligations, forgiveness, and accepting that sometimes you can't fix everything. If you're a fan of romance novels, Italian food, art, and complicated family dynamics, you'll likely enjoy this book.
so-soAnother find at ALA. This is a sunny romance about an art restorer who falls in love with an Italian on a business trip and follows him back to Italy. It wasn't really my style and the plot didn't quite work for me, but it was well written. I think the book took too long to make the jump to Italy and the part in Italy felt too rushed. I did love reading about the Italian food in the book, ha ha. ;)
Happy New Year's Day! For today's soup I wanted some quick, easy & brothy so I adapted a Giada De Laurentiiis recipe from The Food Network and made this Spinach & Cheese Tortelloni in Light Broth using my homemade Garlic-Parmesan brodo. Light but satisfying, it completely hit the spot for lunch, paired with this library read from my TBR stack. The recipe & my variations are on the blog (link👇🏼). #soupersundays 📚❤️🍲
pickThe perfect book at the perfect time. Deep characters. Very relatable. Art restorer with a eye for detail misses the forest for the trees when her whirlwind marriage changes her location. About finding your place - in family and in life.
Art is about beauty and desire, yes, but beauty is also about truth.
