Welcome to Litsy!

Very thought provoking, and I was definitely lost during the ultrasound scene, but overall I enjoyed this. It was almost as enjoyable as Convenience Store Woman. :)

My #May selection for #12booksof2024

Visited one of the cutest bookstores in Boston. Beacon Hill books and cafe. Cafe downstairs with high tea options. Three floors of books, a children‘s section with a tiny door for kids to enter, fireplaces, and cute decor. And of course I bought a book (tagged).

Oh no! Already in trouble, with too many books to read! I'll have to read harder!

I‘ll read at least one of my #Roll100 picks in January! Looking forward to another year of using random dice rolls to narrow down my abused Hoopla and Libby TBR lists. Thanks @PuddleJumper

#WeeklyForecast 01/25

I am reading Wolf at the Table, which I am enjoying. Next will be the tagged book. In 2025 I want to read at least one Japanese book a month.
And because I am still off work I hope I‘ll find the time to start the Rooney, a good beginning of the new year I hope!

My May pick for #12BooksOf2024 is A Man and His Cat, Vol. 10. This series about Mr. Kanda and his cat Fukumaru is super adorable. A lot of these books received high ratings as I zoomed through the series.

#12Booksof2024 ❤️ MARCH❤️ I read this one around last March. It‘s a quirky little book with a main character that I loved. I remember how real it felt.

A Japanese translated fabulist tale of a hole in the wall diner that doubles as a detective agency: seeking out that formative meal from your past that you long to recreate.

An absolutely charming tale, with a loving father and daughter relationship, and food in every chapter that made my mouth water!

#12BooksOf2024 @Andrew65

Slight story of a Japanese woman having a midlife crisis with lots of books. A bit frustrating as it's essentially a list of tempting books you can't read unless you speak Japanese, but I guess that's a sign the book has worked.
