Hi Readers! November went by very quickly. It was kind of a mellow month, where nothing major happened. The major highlight was meeting two of my friends after the longest time. This was just the second time we met in 2025, so you can imagine! Work has continued to...

Hi Readers! Finished another book during the work-week this time. This one was also because of mood reading. I had read Satoshi Yagisawa’s previous books. While I enjoyed Days at the Morisaki Bookshop, I did not enjoy More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop. Since this was a new book...

Hi Readers! Another mood reading sojourn encapsulated me to pick up The Examiner by Janice Hallett. I made the mistake of starting the book on a Monday. I had loved Hallet’s previous book also of a similar genre of epistolary mystery fiction. So, I should have known better than...

Hi Readers! I love Septembers & Octobers. For the last few years, these years meant that either a new Seishi Yokomizo book is out or a Richard Osman book is out. Last year broke the habit a bit, because somehow I couldn’t focus enough to read Yokomizo’s ‘The Little...

Hi Readers! September was almost a dry spell reading-wise, but I have long ago stopped caring about the numbers. I am just glad I got to read one book, which I was waiting to read for quite a while! I had read Strange Pictures by Uketsu earlier in the...
