    Nai-Ni Chen Chinese New Year Celebration

    January 28, 2020 /

    As many of you know, this past Saturday was Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year. It’s now the year of the Golden Rat. My family and I usually do a low key celebration. My mom makes different foods in the days leading up to the holiday and we always have dinner on the day of at my grandpa’s house. Then, next weekend we’ll have a get together with some more extended family. This year I got to also attend a New Year’s dance performance/celebration at NJPAC. Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company puts on a show every year at the performing arts center and I was lucky enough to be offered…

    Happy Chinese New Year

    February 19, 2015 /

    Today is Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year. This year is the year of the Goat or Sheep depending on what you want to call it. I’ve heard it both ways. There are a whole list of traditions and things that people do to prepare and celebrate the new year – way too many to list here and my family only does a handful of them. I thought I’d just share a couple food pictures of things that my family ate (or made in advance for today) last night for New Year’s Eve, which is a mix of typical foods for the new year and things my family traditionally…

Book Spotlight ✨ Explosive Chemistry by Paige E. Book Spotlight ✨ Explosive Chemistry by Paige E. Ewing @paigeewing_author came out last month and I was lucky enough to receive a copy but haven’t gotten to read it yet! Keep reading for the synopsis 📖

Set 30 years into a hopeful future where fossil fuels are obsolete in Fayetteville, North Carolina, a reluctant spider-kin fortune teller must solve the mystery of who killed four soldiers at Fort Liberty. With not quite enough– or maybe too much– help from an infuriating Fae Colonel, and before her dear friends, an oak goblin doctor and a fairy with a penchant for machine guns, end up as the next victims. Including a neurodivergent main character and a diverse cast of quirky companions, Explosive Chemistry is the second installment of the Liliana and the Fae of Fayetteville series that started with Precise Oaths.

I’m looking forward to getting into this series! 📚

Christmas in Coconut Creek by @karissakinwordwrite Christmas in Coconut Creek by @karissakinwordwrites was such a fun read and my favorite Christmas read so far this season! 🎄📚The novel follows Ophelia and Frankie. Ophelia lives in Colorado but takes a few weeks off work to visit her best friend in Florida for the holidays. Just for fun, she spends her time at the airport playing around on a dating app when she matches with a good looking guy who is former military. And that guy just so happens to be sitting next to her on the plane. There is definite chemistry, but just when the two think they'll never see each other again, they learn that Ophelia's best friend and Frankie's best friend/roommate are a couple so they will be spending a lot of time together for the next few weeks. ✈️

I loved Ophelia, Frankie, Natalia, and Matteo! I loved Ophelia and Frankie together. Their banter was so fun. It was really beautiful to watch their relationship grow and how they went from individuals who felt very solitary in many ways to realizing they could rely on each other too. 🥹🩷

The book is filled with laughs, banter, spice, and also a couple emotional moments that did have my heart aching at times!🩷

This is the first book the Dirty Delta series which is going to follow Frankie’s other best friends from Delta Team. I can’t wait!📖

Read this if you want a spicy Christmas romcom with the friends with benefits to lovers trope! My full review is on the blog ✨

P.S. this perfect photo op was from when I was knitting vacation in Florida and went to Disney Springs one evening!

Wreck the Halls by @tessabaileyisanauthor is my la Wreck the Halls by @tessabaileyisanauthor is my latest Christmas read! 🎄📖 The novel follows Melody Gallard and Beat Dawkins. Their mothers used to be a very popular rock duo that had a falling out and broke up 30 years ago. People have wanted them to reunite for year. Melody and Beat have always ignored the questions from the press and public, but when Beat is in need of some money he considers a reality tv offer that will pay him and Melody a million dollars if they can get their mothers to get back together to perform on Christmas Eve at Rockefeller Center. 🎶🎄

Melody spent all her teenage years being ridiculed by the press for her looks, braces, etc. so she has enjoyed being out of the spotlight as an adult. But when she finds out that Beat, her long time crush, is considering a reality show to reunite their mothers she seriously considers putting herself back out in the public eye. However, Beat has always felt protective of her – even from afar – and as much as he needs this show and reunion to work he doesn’t want to see Melody get hurt.🩷

Will the two who have secretly liked each other for the past 14 years finally get together? Will they succeed in getting their mothers to reunite?🩷

I really enjoyed this book! I would’ve loved an epilogue and a little more to the ending, but I loved Beat & Melody, the fun banter, the spice, and storyline! 📖🩷

Read this if you want a spicy Christmas romcom 🩷. My full review is on the blog ✨
