Also, I splurged and bought this hardcover special edition because LOOK at the gorgeous endpaper art!! 😍🌊😍
pickI finished this book ages ago but haven't been able to find words to review it. I was so looking forward to it and it did not disappoint! I devoured the audiobook and have been rereading the print book here and there when I miss the characters. Just such a decadent story with lust & pining, wanderlust & cuisine, and a great exploration of sexuality & gender. I adore these two bisexual disasters 💖

so-soI loved The Blackhouse trilogy, so this was shockingly a disappointment. IMO Enzo is a sub par John Rebus… so read Ian Rankin instead.
Some thoughts:
1) Enzo is kind of… skeezy
2) wow, a character with the worst daddy issues I‘ve ever seen…
3) I think everyone was sleeping with everyone?? Or trying… see 1 … and 2.
4) oh yeah… murders happened, which obviously got overshadowed by the annoying stuff above.

Got out to support a brand new Black Woman owned bookstore in town! Grand Gestures in downtown PDX is a romance books store and their grand opening today has been a roaring success! There was a line out the door from before opening! Wishing Katherine the very best luck!
#day1 of my October Art challenge.
The word is Gouleyant (like a light, sweet and flavourful wine).
As I am very underprepared for this, I have taken heavy inspiration from the internet for this one. Mea culpa.

pickIt‘s delicious, horny fun, with intense feelings and surprising insight – everything you‘d expect and desire from a McQuiston novel. I loved how Theo and Kit explored sex and gender, mirroring their culinary explorations in the most gorgeous settings. I‘m afraid The Pairing has only whetted my appetite for more.

bailedThis was one of my most highly anticipated releases of the year, and I ABSOLUTELY hated it! Holy guacamole, where do I start? Firstly, FOOD-P*RN-O*GY! That PERFECTLY sums up this book! There was no depth whatsoever, apart from a pretentious, pseudo-attempt at "emotional intelligence." Why, ooh, why was everyone bisexual, attractive, and under 30? Why did everyone want to sleep together in under 3 seconds and find the protags so irresistible? (1/3)
