Book Mail: The Cookbook Club by Beth Harbison

Goodreads Blurb

New York Times bestselling author Beth Harbison whips together a witty and charming–and delicious–story about the secrets we keep, the friends we make, and the food we cook.

MUST LOVE BUTTER: The Cookbook Club is now open to members. Foodies come join us! No diets! No skipping dessert!

Margo Everson sees the call out for the cookbook club and knows she’s found her people. Recently dumped by her self-absorbed husband, who frankly isn’t much of a loss, she has little to show for her marriage but his ‘parting gift’—a dilapidated old farm house—and a collection of well-loved cookbooks

Aja Alexander just hopes her new-found friends won’t notice that that every time she looks at food, she gets queasy. It’s hard hiding a pregnancy, especially one she can’t bring herself to share with her wealthy boyfriend and his snooty mother. 

Trista Walker left the cutthroat world of the law behind and decided her fate was to open a restaurant…not the most secure choice ever. But there she could she indulge her passion for creating delectable meals and make money at the same time.

The women bond immediately, but it’s not all popovers with melted brie and blackberry jam.  Margo’s farm house is about to fall down around her ears; Trista’s restaurant needs a makeover and rat-removal fast; and as for Aja, just how long can you hide a baby bump anyway?

In this delightful novel, these women form bonds that go beyond a love grilled garlic and soy sauce shrimp. Because what is more important in life than friendship…and food?

Review: Sweet Dreams: A Goodnight Lullaby by Lillian Jaine

Blurb

Join Elmo, Oscar, Cookie Monster, and the rest of your Sesame Street Friends as they get cozy and comfy for bed. Sweet Dreams!

My Review: Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Sesame Street characters are all ready to have you join in on their goodnight lullaby. Elmo has a hard time trying to fall asleep. All the other Sesame Street friends join in on great tips before getting ready for bed. The illustrations are super cute. The colors are so vivid and bright. I loved that all the Sesame Street friends bedtime routines were part of this book. Children will enjoy the fun and sing along.

Cover Reveal: Mercenary by Bella Di Corte

BOOK DETAILS:
Mercenary
by Bella Di Corte
(Gangsters of New York, #3)
Publication date: November 13th 2020
Genres: Adult, Romance, Suspense

Synopsis:

I had something to live for.

The moment I saw him, I knew.

His eyes would hypnotize.
His lips would speak the most beautiful promises.
His body? Made for pleasure.

But if Corrado Capitani thought that he could fool me into thinking he was a good man, he was wrong.

The moment I saw him, I knew the truth.

Those eyes hid his poisonous heart.
Those lips were vessels of deception.
That body? Made for inflicting pain.

He wasn’t sent from heaven. He was sent to drag me back to hell.

I had something to die for.

Alcina Parisi had a price on her head, and she’d eluded the best. She thought no one would ever find her, but I did. Everyone in our world called me Scorpio—the man who never let the enemy go. But she was a weapon, not an adversary, and I’d claimed her as mine.

Mercenary is the third of three books set in the savage world of the Gangsters of New York series.

Author Biography

Bella Di Corte has been writing romance for seven years, even longer if you count the stories in her head that were never written down, but she didn’t realize how much she enjoyed writing alphas until recently. Tough guys who walk the line between irredeemable and savable, and the strong women who force them to feel, inspire her to keep putting words to the page.

Apart from writing, Bella loves to spend time with her husband, daughter, and family. She also loves to read, listen to music, cook meals that were passed down to her, and take photographs. She mostly takes pictures of her family (when they let her) and her three dogs.  

Bella grew up in New Orleans, a place she considers a creative playground.

She loves to connect with readers, so don’t hesitate to email her at belladicorte@gmail.com if you’d like to reach out.

Review: Fussy Flamingo by Shelly Vaughan James, illustrations by Matthew Rivera

Goodreads Blurb

Lola, a young flamingo, knows that eating shrimp will make her feathers pink, but when her parents look away she tries different foods and turns a series of wild colors.

My Review: Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I receive an early reads book from Sourcebooks for an honest review.

For those who don’t know me, I am a huge flamingo lover. I love anything flamingo related. I was ecstatic about reading this book. Matthew is an amazing artist. The illustrations were so adorable and I totally enjoyed all Lola’s eating adventures.

Lola is not impressed with eating shrimps. Her feathers are gray in a flock of pink flamingos. She is more of an adventuress and enjoys having fruit. Her parents are not very happy when she shows up in funky colors instead of pink. Lola truly resembles my uniqueness and colorful life. I was very happy that Shelly added a page with quick flamingo facts. Children are going to enjoy this adorable story and will love to learn more about the fabulous flamingos. She even included some web links that children can view for more flamingo information.

Flock with style and stay unique!

Review: Pirate Nell’s Tale to Tell by Helen Docherty & Thomas Docherty

Goodreads Blurb

Nell is finally a pirate!

And she has her trusty Pirate’s Almanac to help her sail the seas, even if Captain Gnash doesn’t like books on his ship. But when the journey gets rough and the captain is in trouble, it’s Nell and all her pirate knowledge that saves the day and leads them to the greatest buried treasure of all…

My Review: Rated 5 out 5 stars

Nell is a book lover who saves the pirates from imminent danger, which she saw coming. Nell always wanted to be a pirate. She would read her Pirate Almanac, which Captain Gnash didn’t like at all. No reading time was available in the ship. She spent her days cleaning instead of having her pirate adventures. Everything changed when she saved Captain Gnash and found the location of the treasure.

The pirates were super excited to have found not 1 chest but 20 chest. They were utterly surprise to find the chest didn’t hold gold, jewels or diamonds, but they were filled with books. This book will teach children that reading is very important in order to learn and be able to have different adventures. Having to listen to others and working together will keep everyone safe. Books are filled with knowledge that will take you to many unexpected adventures.
