Welcome to Litsy!

My May choice for #ReadOrDonate has been sitting on my shelves for years. It‘s time!

What will everyone else be reading?

Truly a wonderful #Discovery in my mind. 🍫🤎

Lately, our health has been a problem. When one of us gets well, the other one gets sick. But they say a bad beginning is a good ending.😄 Still, we take a moment for us to create, read, cook together... We both love chocolate, so we make our own hot chocolate.

My #JolabokaflodSwap24 pkg is expected to arrive by December 12th. @MaleficentBookDragon

Today is International Chocolate Day (not to be confused with World Chocolate Day on July, 7th 😁). So, I'm having a mini-celebration ⭐

Chocolate Wars by Deborah Cadbury was a fascinating read (the author is related to Cadbury family, but not the chocolate-making branch). Meticulously researched, this book talks about process of creating chocolate as we know it today, and Quacker values that were the foundation of the company. The author touches on Hershey and Mars companies as well. And finally we arrived to acquisition of Cadbury by Kraft. Five stars.

#LuckyInLove

A sweet (pun intended) romance set in a Paris #Chocolate shop with recipes. 🍫❤️

I liked that this book was written and set in 2000-ish (oh the days of the internet being new), and that there was equal levels of financial power. I didn‘t like the MC all that much, but it was a cute story.
A mysterious handy man running from his past meets and falls for a chocolatier in a small coastal CA town.
2/5 fun but both MCs are not as flushed out as I would have liked & I want more about the chocolates! Read for some 2000s nostalgia
