This one falls under the feel good balm category.

As the completely wrong person to read this, it landed about as well as could have been expected (comme ci comme ça), which is to say, I didn‘t hate it but I didn‘t really like it either. Full review at http://booknaround.blogspot.com/2024/08/review-great-british-bump-off-by-john.ht...

I liked the baking, the rest of the plot was a bit meh, though.

This was my first #AuldLangSpine read from @Librarybelle as well as my first read of the year, and it was a great way to kick off both! I enjoyed this GBBO-themed story and its lovable characters. Although I often get frustrated with “character is weighed down by a secret from the past” storylines (JUST TELL THEM!), this one mostly worked for me. The flashbacks were predictable, but I enjoyed how the author wove in specific bakes ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …with each memory, and built them together to flesh out Jenny‘s story. Food is such a memory trigger, making Jenny‘s revisiting of the past feel authentic rather than contrived. My inner GBBO fan wanted more of the actual competition, but that wasn‘t the intent of the story and I think it would have distracted from the whole. Overall, a cozy, comforting read. This was also my January #DoubleSpin—checking off so many boxes with one book! 2w
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 2w
Librarybelle Yay! I really liked this one—obviously, since it was on my list 😂 2w
monalyisha Interesting point about scent/taste memory! 2w

When I‘m not feeling well, I love reaching for favorite authors. Colgan writes wonderful characters and heartwarming stories. The relationship between Issy and Grandpa Joe is sweet, loving and beautiful.

I enjoyed it so much! It was a perfect way to start the year and provided a real eye-opener into the lives of people in Jamaica.

The book does an amazing job describing Jamaican life, food, scenery, and settings. And the food! It had me salivating, I could almost taste it all!

DOS and Donuts of Love | Adiba Jaigirdar

“The Dos and Donuts of Love” is oh so sweet on representation. The Fluffy Bengali and her ex-Twainese girlfriend on opposite sides of the donut shop wars yet further conflict results when they become competitors on the Junior Irish Baking Show. There is rivalry, out-of-control egos, there is sabotage. There are pastries enough to make you very, very hungry!

Enjoy the Irish accents, enjoy the “Drive Me Glazy” donuts! 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩

Kenyazero Sounds cute, I'm in 🤩 3w
