Two recently published reads that I did book tours for and thought were excellent. Each is a #LesserKnownBook that deserves some more love and hype. I‘ll tag Deer Season below.

To be honest, I usually avoid most books #over500pages (except for big cookbooks) 😉 as I am a moody reader & my attention span prefers shorter books. I think my last official finishing of a chunkster over 500 pages was East of Eden back in 2019 for a #buddyread

I do want to give a shout out to the tagged book I recently read because it‘s close at 496 pages & so good that I hardly noticed how long it was! It needs more love.❤️

Reviewed recently on book tour, a young female Assistant Inspector in Spain (with a traumatic childhood) gets involved with the FBI, profiling a case where a serial killer murders families during natural disasters. Prequel to the author's bestselling Spanish Baztán trilogy (Netflix made those into a trio of films that I‘m going to stream soon), Amaia Salazar is a great character & it was easy to root for her. I liked the darkness of the story. ⬇️

DebinHawaii …Set during Hurricane Katrina, the horrific reality of the suffering was tough to read but compelling & the bits of Spanish and Creole folklore woven in were interesting. It's not a perfect book-the dialogue gets a bit clunky, possibly due to the translation & some characters fall into crime fiction tropes, but overall, I really enjoyed it. With a deconstructed Shrimp Po‘ Boy with Remoulade Dressing for my bookish dish. Review/recipe link ⬇️ 3y

I ran an errand yesterday that took me dangerously close to a favorite Japanese bakery so breakfast today is a croquette pan (roll with potato croquettes inside) & a lilikoi melon pan (passion fruit flavored roll) & tea (not shown). The heart shape of the lilikoi pan matches the title of my current read for book tour this week. I‘m about 1/3 of the way in this one & I‘m enjoying it-serial killer, profiling, Italian female MC helping the FBI…😱
