Welcome to Litsy!

". . . others looked to the paintings as beacons of hope because they showed that the human struggle is endless and universal. " Really enjoyed this engaging story of stolen art and family secrets intertwined with amazing descriptions of food created by a struggling young chef caught in the middle of it all.

#Aprella #NewYork 🍎I love foodie books, I love New York, I love foodie novels set in New York. (Apparently I love them so much I used 3 of these titles before in a New York musical prompt--but since it was 10 months ago & I had already made the collage when I remembered, I'm going with it!) 😆👍

I read, enjoyed & got hungry over these 9 foodie fiction books all set, or mostly set, in The Big Apple. 🍎🍏🍎#foodiebooks

I finally managed to read for 30 minutes & finish a book last night without falling asleep! 🎉📚Hopefully on my way out of the reading slump my January brought. This is a typical Colgan--sweet, mostly light, a bit predictable...but a great feel-good palate cleanser that will make you want to open a bakery in a quirky London neighborhood, have a flat with a pink kitchen & definitely make you crave cupcakes.😋Lots of recipes included. #foodiebooks

"...or you will die of smoke inhalation." Now THAT'S my kind of cooking! #foodiebooks #burningdownthehouse

Isn't the best #bookmail unsolicited book mail?! Like when you get home after a long day & find the unexpected treat of a new novel from one of your favorite foodie authors in your mailbox, sent from the publisher. Recipes included. 😋🍴Thank you @penguinrandomhouse ! 💜📚💜 I am excited to read this one! #foodiebooks

Day 18 #JubilantJuly #Journey I am a fan of the foodie journey--memoirs about finding yourself through food and cooking--especially when they involve women traveling the world and experiencing different cultures through food. Here are six favorite foodie journeys by female authors from my stacks. #foodiebooks 🍴📚💜

Day 11 #JuneBookBugs #Life Since I used culinary cozies for yesterday's 'death' prompt, I thought it would be fun to keep to foodie books today. 'Life' is a popular word in foodie memoir titles. Here are seven from both my #read & #TBR stacks. I'll tag them below in comments since some of the authors are cropped off the covers. #foodiebooks #foodiememoir 🍴📚🥐🍷💜

Day 10 #junebookbugs #death I think culinary cozy mysteries have the best titles. Here's a bunch from my stacks & #TBR with 'death' in them--title & story of course. 😆👍 'A Batter of Life and Death' is my favorite--Ellie Alexander has clever book titles & it's a fun series set in a bakery in Ashland, Oregon. #cozymystery #foodiebooks 🍴📚

I was catching up on email tonight and noticed that the e-book of this foodie novel is on sale for $1.99 Amazon, B &N, Apple, Google & Kobo. If you like foodie fiction, this one is set in L.A. but features Iraqi-Americans & immigrants, academia, a chef & plenty of delicious food. It's romance, but more literary. I recommend it! The author's other books are also great. #foodiefiction #foodiebooks 🍴📚👍

#RockinMay #newyorkminute New York is one of my favorite cities to visit and favorite foodie cities to eat in so here are three fun foodie novels set, or mostly set there. All of them had characters with lives that changed in New York and all inspired delicious dishes when I read and reviewed them. #foodiebooks #litsycooks ❤️🍎🏙
