Thank you for everyone who visited last week for the Long and Short Review Wednesday Blog Hop. Before we get started, I’m going to ask for your indulgence and ask a favor. My most recent book, The Scent of Memory, was nominated for book of the month by The TBR Pile. If you have a moment and you are so inclined, I would appreciate a vote. Note that most of the books on the site fall into the erotic romance category, in case that is not your cup of tea. Thanks for dropping by.
Today we are sharing a few our favorite things. I must admit the first things that came to mind (after the song of course) focused exclusively on edibles. so I’ll go with that. Here are my favorites.
Wine This something that gives me a sense of luxury in my every day. The act of pouring and drinking from a wine glass, the need to sip and savor rather than gulp and swallow, is a special experience. It adds to the flavor and texture of life. That is can help me relax after a long hard day and that it is at its heart a social experience helps too.
Coffee I can’t start the day without it. More precisely, I don’t want to start the day without it. Its my welcome to the morning and my sense of stability no matter what else is going on around me. It grounds me to my day (pun intended). And it comes in mugs. I love drinking out of mugs. Their size and feel are decadent, which gives the morning an extra kick in addition to the caffeine kick.
Ice cream When I’m feeling blue, the sweet taste of ice cream sliding down my throat makes me feel happy. It is a mood changer. While perhaps this is due to the addictive quality of sugar, it is only ice cream that seems to have a physical impact on my mood. So even if its an addiction, I’ll take this one.
Thanks for dropping by. Please visit all the other bloggers participating on the blog hop. Enjoy.
Since I did ask for a vote, I thought I better share book details.
The Scent of Memory Blurb
Twelve years ago, Marisol lost Aren. Now he’s back – pointing a gun at her head and treating her like a stranger.
Rebel hacker, Marisol Martinez, never thought volunteering to keep the hospital safe from cyborgs would lead her back to the man sabotage ripped from her arms. The man she swore to avenge by any means possible.
For over a decade, Cap protected the cyborgs under his command from every danger. Until he meets an insurgent, whose scent wreaks havoc on his control. She calls him Aren and insists she knows him. But she’s wrong. He has no past, no present, no future – only orders he’s programmed to complete.
Forced together, Marisol and Cap can’t resist the passion that keeps building between them. With time running out, Marisol must use her computer skills to restore Aren’s memories or Cap will kill all subversives on the planet – starting with her.
Ice cream is wonderful, especially on a warm summer day!

Its perfect for summer, but I shiver my way through it in the winter as well.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm… coffee…….. <3
Can’t live without it.
Coffee and wine…. mmmmm. Ice cream? Believe it or not I can take it or leave it, most times. But, when I get a craving for it, I want it right then!
Coffee to kick of the day, wine to end. The perfect book ends.
Oh wine! I forgot about that one. It’s one of my favorites as well, no doubt. 🙂 Mmmm… and ice cream. lol Best of luck on your book!! It looks intriguing.
Thank you. Wine helps manage life – both a joy and a necessity.
I have to get sugar free ice cream now, not easy to find! Enjoy your coffee while I drink my tea.
I love tea as well. I drink it all day, but I seem to need coffee to face the day. Nothing starts before it.
I like to eat so I thoroughly endorse this post. Hahaha.
And your blurb has me intrigued!

Thanks. I had to do food. It certainly is a clear source of pleasure in the pandemic.
Loved you list and Ice cream. LOL Thanks for sharing. Here’s mine. https://www.tenastetler.com/a-few-of-my-favorite-things-lsrs-weekly-blog-challenge/
Couldn’t live without ice cream. Thanks for dropping by,
Oooh! This is such a good list. Love the ice cream too 😉
Can’t go wrong with food and drink. Thanks for dropping by.
Okay, so: shortly after we found out that my wife was pregnant, I put in one of those hopelessly romantic films — Aliens. We were probably two whole minutes into it, and Ripley had just found out that she’d been in cryosleep so long that she’d outlived her daughter, and Beautiful Wife just dissolved into tears, so I offered to take her out for ice cream and that’s what we did.
I’m with you on the ice cream thing, is what I’m trying to say here. Though honestly I wouldn’t argue about wine or coffee either, though I’m a tea-drinker myself.
My answers to this prompt are here.
Great story. Yes, ice cream cures many things. Thanks for dropping by.
I love ice cream and miss when my grandfather would make it himself (he’s dead, so there goes that idea of getting some from him). But of late, ice cream doesn’t love me. Boo! It’s an addiction I’d take, too.
