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! I just finished the fifth book for the month! It was the second 1-star book I’ve read this year, which is okay, but I wasn’t expecting to not like this one. I had read The Cat Who Saved the Books and enjoyed it. Even that one was...

HI Readers! November is coming to a close, but it was a good month as I got to read a lot. Just yesterday I finished The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai, translated by Jesse Kirkwood. This book was making the rounds on Instagram a year ago. I guess...
