Smart Cookie

Frankie and her family run a B and B, she's responsible one day a week for baking cookies. I craved cookies while reading this one!

You know, the kind that are still warm and the chocolate is gooey in the middle...

Early this summer, I read two amazing books that put me in the mood for ice cream!

Stay SweetSee You on a Starry Night

In Stay Sweet, Amelia runs an ice cream stand for the summer - until a wrench is thrown into her plans. 

In See You on a Starry Night, Juliet moves to a beach town where she befriends a girl whose family owns an ice cream shop. They enjoy mixing flavors.

I'm from Vermont, so I'm a Ben and Jerry's girl, but I don't mind trying new ice cream places!

Lara Jean spends a lot of time trying to bake the perfect chocolate chip cookie. And it's no wonder that after reading the end of the trilogy that I'm craving chocolate chip cookies. I might have to whip up a batch, although they might not be as good as Lara Jean's....

After reading Fudge and Jury by Ellie Alexander, I craved chocolate something fierce. So I settled for some adult hot chocolate and a dark chocolate Godiva truffle. YUM!

A delicious read and a delicious treat!

What could be better?

Two Summers

I adored Two Summers (check out my review). In Summer's vacation to France, she would walk to the bakery every morning for a bite. I adore chocolate croissants. As I was reading this book, I longed to go to the bakery and grab one too. And then walk through a charming country side.

Does a book ever make you crave food?

Fun books series and great cheese. This book series made me more cheese adventurous. I went looking for a different type of cheese. I'm a big fan of cheddar cheeses and Asiago cheeses. 

In the books, Charlotte owns a cheese shop where she talks about various cheese and what to eat in combination.

This cheese was delicious! Simply perfect.

Check out my review of the final books in the series.

     Stephanie and Lulu eat when they're having a bad day - which happens a lot. I read this book in the morning and my mouth was watering with all the foods devoured. Reading about donuts always makes me crave them.

Denton Little's DeathdateProduct Details

Debut novel Denton Little's Deathdate is funny, smart, and will keep you thinking about the book long after you close it. This debut novel hits it out if the park.

As you will read, Reese's peanut butter cups are featured in the book at Denton's funeral. It's kind of funny and then not so funny.

Trust me - When it comes out, go read this book. Review coming soon.
