The Ultimate Pi Day Party

bailed

I wanted to give this book a chance for seasonal interest (and because I picked it up for free at some point), but I think Jackie Lau's books just aren't for me. In this one, the characters are trying to have a professional relationship but are so instantly attracted to each other that they start behaving inappropriately before they even know it's mutual. I have a hard time seeing that as a pleasant, romantic fantasy.

effani I knew it was time to bail when I kept wanting to go back to my nonfiction read as a break from my romance!

Litsy isn't letting me add the cover image for some reason (too many abs?). I keep getting glitches when I bail on books. (edited) 4y

BookwormM I have problems adding image if I make any change to it at all however just a straight photo upload works 4y

effani @BookwormM No changes - I was just dragging it directly in the way I usually do with ebook covers. I can't seem to post bail reviews from my computer, only my phone, but I had the image on the computer and didn't really want to download it onto my phone, so I assume that's the problem. 4y

The Ultimate Pi Day Party | Jackie Lau

It felt appropriate to start THE ULTIMATE PI DAY PARTY while I ate my two leftover sweet potato, black bean, and feta hand pies. (BTW, they reheated great at 375°F for 12 minutes.) It‘s delightful so far! I‘m excited to keep reading.

The Ultimate Pi Day Party | Jackie Lau

My #weeklyforecast!
2 of the in progress books I may finish today so I have several upcoming possibilities. I‘m having one of this weeks where all the library books pop up, doesn‘t that always seem to happen?! So those will be first.
@Cinfhen

Cinfhen Like some of those covers 😍🤩😜 5y

Nessavamusic @Cinfhen yes romance covers are not subtle but I love a good HEA 5y

Sace Totally agree about library holds popping up. Just when I think I have reading plans finalized.... 😂 5y

The Ultimate Pi Day Party | Jackie Lau

pick

A delightful romance that I picked up on Pi Day (of course). This is a delightfully fun (and hungry-making) contemporary between an app developer CEO and a pie shop owner/caterer. All props to Jackie Lau for having a hero who has zero qualms about being a good caregiver when his love interest has menstrual cramps from hell. Also, so much yummy-sounding pie.

balletbookworm (But it‘s written in alternating 1st person present tense POV and gah, why? It drives me so crazy. Lucky for this book its cuteness overcame the structure.) 6y
