pickI enjoyed it so much! It was a perfect way to start the year and provided a real eye-opener into the lives of people in Jamaica.
The book does an amazing job describing Jamaican life, food, scenery, and settings. And the food! It had me salivating, I could almost taste it all!
pick“The Dos and Donuts of Love” is oh so sweet on representation. The Fluffy Bengali and her ex-Twainese girlfriend on opposite sides of the donut shop wars yet further conflict results when they become competitors on the Junior Irish Baking Show. There is rivalry, out-of-control egos, there is sabotage. There are pastries enough to make you very, very hungry!
Enjoy the Irish accents, enjoy the “Drive Me Glazy” donuts! 🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩🍩

This foodie #Friendship book has been in my TBR for ages. I remember my mom getting Amish friendship bread, the recipe & starter from a neighbor once & she went through a phase of sharing it with friends & family.💙🍞💙
pick#2025 So far, I‘ve enjoyed every book I‘ve read by Robin Sloan. This book was no exception. Sloan‘s books seem to have happy endings but the type of happy ending is always a surprise. Nothing is ever predictable. Recommended.
pickAs someone who bakes this book was great. I laughed and cried. I would like to know more about Molly. @WildAlaskaBibliophile thank you for adding this to #auldlangspine.
Well that was a several-day pain in the .....
I will never make these ribbon cookies again. The only good thing is several of them were, by default, too ugly to gift so I ate enough of them to feel a little sick.

First book finished for the #OutWithTheOldInWithTheNew readathon. One of my #Roll100 picks for December & part of my attempt to make my way through the books of T. Kingfisher. I really enjoyed this story of a 14-year-old wizard (Mona) who bakes & needs to use her bread magic to save her city. It was fun & while YA, has adult enough humor & good messages about power & heroes & the need to act to right wrongs.💜
pickThis was a great book to read uninterrupted during a holiday break. I‘m not sure this kind of small town really exists but I enjoyed how the main character, a bit of a fish out of water, found a home in this one. My favorite secondary character was the grumpy owner of the inn.
