Mermaid Inn by Jenny Holiday | Book Review
ARC provided by the publisher via NetGalley It's true that Jenny Holiday's latest has a very G-rated contemporary fic cover. Mermaid Inn rolls along in PG/PG-13 territory for a good while, but this second chance, friends-to-lovers romance eventually takes a hard left into R territory, and I couldn't be happier.

We Tried Trader Joe’s Coconut Crispy Rolls
Trader Joe's Coconut Crispy Rolls are super addictive ($1.99 for 2.82 oz box). There's not a lot to them - it's just like, coconut milk, eggs, black sesame, tapioca starch.
