9 posts | 5 read | 8 to read
From the USA TODAY bestselling author of the heartwarming and refreshingly sweet (Lauren Layne, New York Times bestselling author) On the Corner of Love and Hate comes a story about a baker who takes her chances on a new town...and an old love. After selling her famous bakery back in New York, Parker Adams visits Hope Lake, Pennsylvania, to figure out her next steps. And soon shes wondering why she ever loved city life in the first place. Between the Golden Girlsthe senior women who hold courtand Nick Arthur, her equally infuriating and charming former flame, Parker finds a community eager to help her get her mojo back. But even though Hope Lake gives her the fresh start shes been looking for, Parker discovers that its not so easy to start over again with Nick. Their chemistry is undeniable, but since Nick is a freshly taken man, Parker is determined to keep things platonic. With a recipe for disaster looming, Parker must cook up a new scheme, figuring out how to keep everything shes come to love before she loses it all. Perfect for fans of Amy E. Reichert and Jenny Colgan, The Ingredients of You and Me is a scrumptious romantic comedy that lets you have your cake and eat it too.

#FallTreasures

For the #GrandParentsDay prompt, I thought of this book series which features a group of grandmotherly ladies & especially the 3rd & tagged book. In it the main character, Parker, is a celebrity baker who has lost her mojo & hopes to get it back while helping these “Golden Girls” recreate their own grandmothers‘ recipes.

Eggs Wonderful premise 🍰🧁🥧 3y

When I saw this series was perfect for fans of Amy Reichert I knew I had to read it and it definitely lived up to the promise! I love the characters, especially the golden girls, and the setting was beautiful! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I realized I didn‘t post my review on Litsy yet. 3rd book in Bocci‘s 3-book Hopeless Romantics series & my favorite as it‘s the story of Parker, a semi-famous baker trying to get her baking mojo back. Even though I‘m not a baker, I like to read about them & the quirky & fun townspeople & citizens of Hope Lake—especially the sassy seniors. Romance & recipes. I paired it with Cornbread & Blueberry Bread Pudding—mostly to use up leftovers.😉Link👇🏻

I got about 4 hours of reading time in today & made some progress for the #NutsinMay #readathon as I finished the tagged book for a book tour review next week & read this week‘s section of The Sun Down Motel for tomorrow‘s #BOTMBuddyRead discussion. I quit reading for a bit to watch The Downton Abbey movie (finally). I am now rewatching Sense and Sensibility (1995) & reading Chapter 9 for #PemberLittens #multitasking.😉#wildsaturdaynight

First up tomorrow is going to be finishing the tagged book for a book tour next week & finish Empire of Wild, then read the next section of The Sun Down Motel.

I loved this book so much!! It was perfect feel-good reading and I‘m certain I‘ll revisit it again. The friend group is wonderful and I love that the book leans heavily into baking-mostly cupcakes and cakes, although it inspired me to make a strawberry cobbler🍓

This is the third book in a small-town series, but it worked just fine as a starting point. I‘m going back to read the first two books now since I loved the story and characters so much.

#MagicalMay #MayTBR

Some of the books I hope to get to in May-although missing are audiobooks & e-books on my Kindle including Tell the Wolves I‘m Home for the #MaybeNow #buddyread & a few #ARC s. Sense and Sensibility for #PemberLittens & 3 for book tours (the center of the stack) + a cookbook review. I‘m going to try to fit in The Sun Down Motel & join in the #BOTM BuddyRead but I don‘t know if I can make it all happen. The🐔🐔🐔are doubtful!😉

squirrelbrain What a pretty stack - did you deliberately colourcode your books?! 5y

It is raining so hard outside right now and this book 📖 and coffee ☕️ is delightful while my house is still quiet. Perfect, perfect morning.
