Edging ever closer to completing #booked2021 with this for #bakedgoodsonthecover prompt and crossing another one off my audible TBR to boot! Starting this one in glorious November Sunshine on the beach ☀️

So I finally read one of my oldest unread BOTM books (this one is almost 4 years old 😅)... I put it off because I saw not great reviews, but I needed a #BakedGoodsOnTheCover for #Booked2021.

I really liked this novel about appetites and addiction. Greg is almost impossible to like & there are so many icky details, but I was still very invested. Near the end, the book just about blew my mind. Sad, funny little trainwreck of a story.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I bought this a few years ago because for some reason I can't remember, I was excited to read it. In retrospect, that was silly -- because I'm really not that interested in food or food histories. Oops! Another book that just wasn't for me, but I'm happy to clear it off my physical TBR!
Plus...it checks off my last #Booked2021 Winter prompt - #BakedGoodsontheCover.

This marks my last #Booked2021 for winter! A #KindleUnlimited book with #BakedGoodsOnTheCover, I wish that this had been marketed as a follow-up to Winter Cottage. I hate feeling like I‘m missing out on important backstories! The family ties here get a bit convoluted too- I wish there‘d been a family tree! I tried listening first but the audio highlighted the stilted dialogue that does all the heavy lifting for plot momentum & development. #bujo

Cinfhen Annoying when they don‘t tell you it‘s part of a series 🤪 3y

I just couldn‘t get through this: it engaged me at the beginning but I got disconnected from the main character and the plot: the weird workplace and the weird alternative market were too much! It was my #Booked2021 prompt for #BakedGoodsontheCover

Cinfhen Ha!! Bravo for giving it a try...magical realism isn‘t my thing at all 😉I couldn‘t get through this book by the same author (edited) 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage The good news is that LOTS of other books have baked good on them! 🤓 3y
Singout @Cinfhen I totally didn‘t realize they were the same author! I started that one but couldn‘t get through either. 3y
Singout @BarbaraTheBibliophage but not ones I can read by tomorrow! 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Singout Oh, probably so. Unless you read really fast! Luckily, we are flexible about time periods. Lots of people (me included) read outside the seasons. 3y

Mehso-so

Definitely not a favorite, halfway through I nearly #DNF. It was juvenile and had some offensive descriptions (was 1990 really 30 years ago!). I kept going because this was her 1st book and I hoped it would get better and it did. Charming ending made up for the problems along the way, though I‘m not sure I‘d recommend this one. #Booked2021 #bakedgoodsonthecover #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft

Cinfhen Wow!!! How is that possible that 1990 was 30 years ago😱😱😱 3y
TheAromaofBooks @Cinfhen - I'm sitting here thinking the same thing! 😂 3y

This was a little cutesy for my taste, but kind of fun to read a romance with a plaid wearing hipster set in Seattle. It's also my #bakedgoodsonthecover read for #booked2021 #PNWRomance #Romance

Reading a few pages a day in Fallout
Starting Inquiry into L & D 1/3 read 10 chapters this week
For Booked21, read both books- not sure how much.
I stopped reading Death at presidents lodging- too cerebral & constant conversations- got bored. So #DNF
Still listening to Obama.

Cinfhen How‘s Fallout?? I‘m curious .... (edited) 3y
