Still Nameless Feature: There's Probably Hope Somewhere

[helloladies]

At the end of every week, we gather at Lady Business HQ to share media thoughts and chat about the recent happenings in our tiny spheres of human experience. Feel free to join in, but note our comment policy if you're new! :D

As always, puns are welcome.

This week was so terrible that there are no words for it. Have a blanket fort.



We've discussed names like Chaturday, Business Casual, The Water Trough, and Ponies Express. Clearly we can use some help and would appreciate your suggestions (feel free to vote in the comments, too)!

Because everything is terrible, I've been rereading Laura Florand's Amour et Chocolat series. These are romance novels about Parisian chocolatiers and ohmygod. The language is as decadent as the descriptions of all the food. The characters are incredibly nuanced and the relationship development, while often fast, is believable because all of the couples have crazy chemistry. Also, the love scenes are really, really hot.



Unsurprisingly, I've also been eating a lot of chocolate.

I don't know why I'm surprised there's a romance novel series about chocolate. How perfect. I LOVE THE GREAT THINGS HUMANS CREATE.

There's actually a whole romance subgenre about chef/baker/chocolatier folks and IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY. These are my fave, obviously, but what a great subgenre.

[renay]

omg lists! THANK YOU.

[spindizzy]

I found out that this is also a cozy crime subgenre too, and that was a GREAT DAY.

There's one with cats and mysteries!

Is this one of those food-based romance series that includes recipes? (I'm not making up that that's a thing, am I?)

[kaytaylorrea]

It's not, but those are definitely a thing! One of my fave books from last year, The Coincidence of Coconut Cake by Amy E. Reichert, includes a coconut cake recipe that is SO STELLAR. The Laura Florand books are about super high-end chocolatiers and patissiers and most of us wouldn't have a hope of managing the sort of stuff they make. Florand does always link to a variety of chocolatiers that you should try at the end and includes recs from readers, which is lovely.
