外出用餐：一部橫跨兩千年的外出飲食文化史: : Nicholas Lander William Sitwell Waitrose KitchenMasterchefFood & Drink 1999Waitrose Food Illustrated2005Editor of the Year
作者: 威廉．席特維爾 | 譯者: 廖素珊
從兩千年前的龐貝城酒館，到中世紀法國高級餐廳；
從墨西哥塔可餅機的改良，到日本迴轉壽司輸送帶的發明……
當餐廳不只是餐廳，外出用餐不只是填飽肚子這麼簡單──
庶民飲食╳政治角力╳帝國秩序╳移民經濟
飲食偏好╳餐桌禮儀╳待客之道╳文化禁忌
每次點菜都是一趟旅行，每間餐廳都是一座文化博物館！
當人們決定外出用餐，世界和味蕾才開始豐富起來！
從墨西哥塔可餅機的改良，到日本迴轉壽司輸送帶的發明……
當餐廳不只是餐廳，外出用餐不只是填飽肚子這麼簡單──
庶民飲食╳政治角力╳帝國秩序╳移民經濟
飲食偏好╳餐桌禮儀╳待客之道╳文化禁忌
每次點菜都是一趟旅行，每間餐廳都是一座文化博物館！
當人們決定外出用餐，世界和味蕾才開始豐富起來！
●──在後疫情年代，外出用餐開始回到人們的生活模式中，
而在全球封鎖的三年裡，失去上餐廳的機會，等於失去了什麼？
在全球化變得更為深入的現代，我們能在一個城市裡吃到來自全世界的食物，「點菜就是最便宜的旅行方式」。飲食早已成為一個民族或地區文化的象徵，不同菜肴在歷史上的變遷也悄悄記錄了不同文化的交融，小小的餐館也是人類歷史的博物館。
現代人對於外出用餐已習以為常，只因為餐廳本身已不只是最原始的「用餐」功能，它提供了更多的社交應酬、商業談判、生活所需、情感調劑等實際功能。從更深層的一面來探討，外出用餐與餐廳的存在意義，反映了當代社會、及與其對應的歷史、經濟、文化發展等關係。
●——餐廳可以靠熱情的夢想而構築，也可能在瘋狂中迅速消失，
餐廳為何存在？又是如何成為文化史不可或缺的一環？
餐廳的出現不只被視為是飲食場地的變化、不只是被當成空間工具，更重要的是同時標示著一個國家、甚至是帝國的衰敗或成功。例如龐貝城的外出用餐場景，象徵羅馬帝國的願景、幅員遼闊和繁榮富庶。第二次世界大戰後的英國餐廳則充分顯示了戰爭衝突的恐怖和國力瓦解是如何殘害該國的美食文化和味覺。
而現代世界的交通便利和旅行發達，意味著餐廳已足夠成為人們旅行的理由。餐廳就像博物館、藝術、夜店或海灘，成為人們沉浸於各種文化的絕佳選項。英國作家尼古拉斯．蘭德（Nicholas Lander）就曾說：「菜單代表最便宜的旅行方式。」
由此可知，外出用餐已是一種文化現象。人們會被誘惑進餐廳是因為他們肚子餓，而人們尋找餐廳也為了其他理由：碰面、社交、做生意、與愛人發展浪漫關係，甚至將它當成政治角力的場所。這些訪客會餓著肚子去餐廳，但追求經驗的渴望和需要，卻遠比飢餓本身更為複雜。
●──當我們把外出用餐視為生活娛樂，而非在家中簡單用餐，
便象徵著從「外食」到「外出」的演變影響了未來的餐廳設定！
作者席特維爾以「餐廳」為引，點出了我們忽略的歷史細節、生活細節，講述了一部有關全球社會發展的歷史，深入探討長達二千年的飲食歷史，從最基本到最複雜的飲食形式，追溯外出用餐文化的起源，揭示世界各地不同的社會如何發現外出用餐的樂趣，同時也追溯流行如何形塑我們外出用餐的方式。
外出用餐可謂人生一大要事：它不僅可以增加我們的幸福感，撫平我們的悲傷，還能實現商務與娛樂的雙贏，甚至悄悄影響著我們的人性。正因如此，我們才能更能將外出用餐視為理所當然，甚至說：「當人們決定外出用餐，世界和味蕾才開始豐富起來。」

A Decent Fae Romance
Format: Kindle
** 3.5 Stars rounded up to 4 **
First off I want to say that I found the author, J. D. Linton, on TikTok right before the release of the sequel. I bought the first 2 books to support her release, so congrats to her for the release of the sequel!
Overall, I liked the story & plot, I liked the characters, and I liked the spice. The downfalls: not enough development between the characters for the romance, and it leaned a little heavy into the tropes. A lot of stuff is told to you, which could have been used as devices to drive the plot and emotions of the characters.
🛑🛑 Mild Spoilers ahead, I tried to hide the obvious ones 🛑🛑
This is very obviously a fated mates, which is a trope I usually really enjoy. But I wish the relationship between Ara & Rogue had much more development before it's realized that they're mates, instead of Rogue knowing almost immediately and using it for nefarious purposes (at least in the beginning before they get to know each other). By revealing this within the first quarter of the book, I feel like it leaves less room for them to fall for each other organically (albeit with help from the mating bond) and they love each other because of the mating bond. I was disappointed as soon as Rogue know (literally only 5% in) and I literally made a note: "As much as II love a good mating trope, I wish we had to work for it a little more. Where's the fun in just telling us?" I believe that by holding out and feeding the reader snippets of a potential bond, it would've been more rewarding as a reader.
I also wish there was more world building - we are told of a war between human & fae but don't get to really experience any of it. Ara is sheltered in her human home, then sheltered in Rogue's castle. There's bits and pieces about what the war has done on either side - but we're more told of the aftermath and don't really experience any of it. Ara's father is supposed to be the king's #1 general - yet he is at home with his family & with Ara for the first couple chapters. Her, her family, nor her village seem to be affected by the 10 year war going on on their borders. I wish there was a little more setup to make this conflict - an actual war - feel more than a skirmish between fighting territories.
Linton could also be a little repetitive - with the biggest culprit being when Ara is upset she "brings [her] knees to [her] chest]" and either sits like that or cries. Every time she is upset this phrase is mentioned. I would get it if this was her crutch, or how she copes with grief and stress, but that should be explained why she does it so often or it becomes repetitive. I started to get annoyed with how often she would sit like this solely because it happens every couple chapters.
However, I did really like the spice. I love an enemies to lovers trope, especially when it results in spicy scenes. The spicy scenes weren't anything new, but they were fun. Wish there were more but that could also just be me - there is no such thing as too much spice 😂
Would I read again? Probably not, I'm super picky with rereads. Although I did genuinely enjoy my first read through!
Will I continue the series? Probably, at least for the sequel. As for #3, kind of depends on where I am with my TBR once that is released
All in all an enjoyable, fast paced read

I love indie authors
Format: Kindle
Let me preface this by saying—writing a book is HARD! Coming up with characters so real that they take on a life of their own, building an entire world, the political/magic system. Designing all of this is no easy feat.
That being said.
This book had so. Much. Potential. I was so excited to read this book, and I plan to finish it for the sake of finishing it. But. At this point, I would have set I’d aside as a DNF. The book could have benefited from some form of a developmental editor, or an in depth beta reader. I will say this. Within 5 chapters, there are so many… phrases that I’ve highlight that I’ve latched onto. Phrases about books and storms that were written BEAUTIFULLY! So, bravo Linton for hitting the nail on the head as to why readers disappear like they do!
However, 5 chapters in and I can already guess where a majority of the story is going. But that’s also because I read like a mad-woman and have read this particular type of story, many different ways. Enemies to lovers where the FMC isn’t who she thinks she is. I am all about supporting indie authors. BUT. I also feel like criticism should be constructive, and not degrading. So if I could give this book a 4 1/2, strictly because I know the work the author put into this, I would. So if you’re looking for an easy read with characters that aren’t hard to follow, look no further! They are easy to love and easy to care for. One of the biggest issues they lacked, to me, was depth and plausible reactions to their situations. JD, you have done BEAUTIFULLY writing this book. I applaud and will continue to buy your books in the future. My BIGGEST recommendation is to definitely hire some form of an editor for any upcoming books. Or in turn, I will be happy to beta read for you. Should my opinion change of the book by the time I finish, I will happily get on here and say I was wrong, delete this review and post a different one. Until then…

this book set my soul ablaze! <3
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
"i had never really cared about the weather before, but now, clear skies meant everything to me, and i was grateful to see another calm morning."
this book. this book!
i loved the last storm so much. the writing style. the descriptions. the world-building. the characters. the plot twists. the tropes. the sexual tension. the—everything. everything was magic.
the last storm follows our two main characters, ara and rogue, giving us dual POV from both characters (which i loved, btw). ara, a human girl who has been locked away in her father’s estate most of her life, just wants to see the world. all she dreams of is seeing what else is out there. but when her father announces her engagement, she knows that dream will become nothing more than just that—a dream.
rogue, the fae king, is tired of the attacks being rained down on his people. in hopes of finding out the human king adon’s secrets, rogue infiltrates auryna’s borders. in his last resort to gain information, he visits the local pub. to his surprise, the general’s precious only child is sitting at the bar, drink round after round of mead. now he just needs to figure out how to take her without anyone noticing.
first and foremost, let’s talk about the endless list of my favorite tropes and aspects that this book had.
›› enemies to lovers
›› fated mates
›› one bed
›› the chosen one
›› elemental magic
›› actually good and shocking plot twists!!!
›› badass female lead
›› morally-grey love interest
›› fae/human war
›› force proximity
›› touch her and die
›› who did this to you?
›› captor/captive
›› praise k!nk (panting profusely)
“you are entirely the opposite of everything that i am, and i would gladly wear your shackles if it meant i could have you.”
it’s been a long while since i read a book i liked this much. but i just loved this book. it set my soul ablaze. thank you to the author for writing this beautiful story and for blessing me with an eARC! i loved it so much that i immediately bought the paperback upon release!
every aspect of this book was just beautiful. i was blown away by the way the world was described, the way feelings were portrayed, the way the elements were used in the fae’s magic. it just—AHHH! i just absolutely adored it all. i cannot wait for the second book to release next year!
also the way he calls her “little storm” sets my heart on fire.
this was a fast-paced read and if you are a lover of acotar, fbaa, deal with the elf king, or any other similar books, then please stop everything you’re doing and read this book right now. you won’t regret it.
thank you again, jd linton, for giving me the privilege of reading your arc and for blessing this world with the world you created. <3
"something about him pulled me in, like a moth to a flame, and it felt as if i was just waiting for the inevitable burn that came with flying too close to the fire."

Fun, both heartwarming and heartbreaking
Format: Kindle
Only my second first person written selection, I am still getting used to that aspect, but unlike my first, I enjoyed that the story was told through both MCs. A great enemies to lovers, forced proximity, fated love etc, that resonated to me. There were some small twists that I could see coming, but also a few that I didn’t quite see until the characters were also seeing. Personally, I am more interested in the story than the spice, but with that said, it was well seasoned! I am kind of new to the spice world so I can’t say for sure how this would rate, but it definitely had some heat. I am very glad I happened across this author, and I do plan on also reading the next book….if nothing else, just to see for myself the “transformation” of the characters I’ve grown to love!

😍😍 BEST DEBUT NOVEL EVER
Format: Paperback
I’m having trouble finding accurate words to describe the way this book made me feel, but I am going to do my best.
To start off with basic elements, the character and world building are phenomenal. I feel a strong bond to not only the two main characters, Ara and Rogue, but to each and every character introduced throughout the book. The author did a stellar job of giving each of them unique personhood. All of the scenes are beautifully described. So much so that throughout the entirety of the book, I could see every scene: the towns, the castles, the meadows, the landscape. I have had difficulty with this and with distinguishing between outlying characters while reading in the past, but I did not have to think to remember details of world or character building because they flowed naturally within the story and were described well. I have read book series before that made me want to be a part of that world, but I actually felt like I got to step into Auryna and Ravaryn!
The plot twists!! Although this is not a suspense novel, it still had me on a rollercoaster of emotions and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I haven’t cried actual tears over a book since I was in high school (and I’ve read a LOT). This book finally broke the floodgates in the final few chapters. Multiple times. And we love a good cliffhanger. It truly made me FEEL.
THE SPICE is a solid 3.5/5. Some of the scenes had me flushed, some had me taking notes, some just had my jaw slack and my mouth hanging open. Bravo, JD Linton, bravo.
The relationships: friendships, family, romantic, ALL of the relationships in this book have so much meaning. The author does a great job at making you feel the love, the anger, the peace, the frustrations, the safety, the familiarity, etc. between the characters.
Ara and Rogue. I can not say enough and I also do not want to say too much. Just know that I feel like I know them both, to their core. I know what their childhood looks likes, their darkest moments, their biggest fears, their dreams and passions, what they want in life… The POV switches were seamless. I am so happy this author decided to let us see from both sets of eyes.
I can not wait for book two after that cliffhanger. And there is SO much potential for at least one prequel, I can’t wait to see where this author goes! I hope this series continues and flourishes. Fingers crossed!
