Father & daughter work together to investigate and recreate favourite dishes from the past - in addition to a delightful meal, and walk down memory lane - those who seek out the Food Detectives find the closure they often didn‘t realise they were also seeking. I really enjoyed Nagare (dad) & Koishi (adult daughter) - they have a lovely relationship that has grown stronger over time. Each case was delightful & the food descriptions mouth watering!

Rissreads I‘m happy it was good! ♥️🐈 4mo
Lunakay I loved that one so much, part 2 is coming soon 😍 4mo

Just started to read this lovely little number sent to me by @LeeRHarry for our #aussiesecretsanta. I thought Lee had miraculously picked an #unknowntomeauthor and Australian at that! Then I scroll back through the Litsy posts on it and see that I have had numerous encounters with this book & had added it to my stack 🤪. Now I‘m even more excited to read it 😁. #currentlyreading

Jeg I looked at the profile and see I read it 5 years ago. I have no memory of it. But seems I liked it. 🙃 10mo
MrsMalaprop @jeg 😂 10mo
LeeRHarry Yes I had a little help from your stack! 😊 Hope you enjoy it! 10mo

Dear Sharni these gifts are so thoughtful! @thegirlwiththelibrarybag
I‘m late posting because I worked Christmas and then my Litsy app wouldn‘t load!
These books look fantastic…I love art, and discovering new authors, and of course historical fiction!! The print and brass blooms are lovely ❤️ I hope everyone had a lovely day!!

My post office (my grandpa) neglected to tell me that I‘d received a pre Christmas package 🤭 so this was a lovely Christmas Day surprise.

Thank you so much @Rissreads - you are too generous! Your card made me 🤣 it‘s pure book lover maths to say that that you can‘t send a book bag without a book!

Rissreads I only posted it Thursday! Well done Australia post. Well done! 👏🏻 11mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Rissreads, that‘s pretty good - from one side of the country to the other. 11mo

Thank you to my #aussiesecretsanta Whoever you are! I only know you‘re from Victoria. I‘ve been meaning to read the Stevenson but I‘ve never heard of the other. Everything else looks really nice too. Merry Xmas to you & yours♥️💚♥️💚♥️

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Oops, @kathy88 was too good at being secret! 11mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag I loved Crown Duel - I‘ve got an old paperback version on my shelf somewhere, due for a reread, I think ☺️ (edited) 11mo
kathy88 lol yeah well I do take the secret in secret Santa seriously. 🤣 I‘m glad they are books you were interested in. Crown duel is such a good book. Was one I found ages ago and Sharni and I have read it a few times. Got a good story line and some interesting characters. Merry Christmas. 11mo

My first #aussiesecretsanta experience has been amazing. Thank you for including me in the #Aussiesecetsanta 2023. Looking forward to reading these books but will need to be when I am back from my lovely travels. Can‘t believe it‘s Christmas tomorrow. Thank you @thegirlwiththelibrarybag for including me in this.

thegirlwiththelibrarybag You are so welcome! I couldn‘t resist those flat pens… Merry Christmas and Happy Travels! 11mo
Rissreads Have a fantastic holiday! ❤️💚 11mo
Jhullie Let me know what you think of Icebreaker, I‘ve been considering buying it for ages. 11mo
kathy88 @Rissreads thank you. I can‘t wait. Get to spend time with family and then I‘m off. @Jhullie I will let you know what the book is like. 11mo
