The Premonition | Banana Yoshimoto

I don‘t know. I just don‘t know. I liked it more than Lizard but it‘s not in the same category as Kitchen or NP. The beginning was great and then it fizzled. But it wasn‘t bad. I‘m just at a loss for words.

The Decagon House Murders | Yukito Ayatsuji
post image

At last, I finished my tiny loft! This one took forever because I had a ton of interruptions, but it was still a lot of fun to work on. Of all the kits I‘ve done, it‘s the one I‘ve most customized. I am NOT about the teeny tiny wire work, and the original terrace design was all kinds of boring. Now it‘s vibrant and fun.

I also finished the tagged book. While I liked THE MILL HOUSE MURDERS more, it was still a good homage to classic mysteries.

Convenience Store Woman | Sayaka Murata

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5️⃣
An odd, intriguing and witty little book. Keiko is different - she's 36, not in relationship and working in a convenience store. Arguably she's quite content with her life, but everyone else seems to judge it. The book offers insight into society's expectations of women (and men) and how others struggle to understand those who don't fit in.

This book is an interesting horror/thriller type story, and I probably wouldn't have done what Kenji did. I imagined she was fascinated by Frank.

A fascinating novel about a piece of history of which I was unaware. This story follows several generations of a family who are Koreans in Japan. The first generation are migrants and the rest are descendants who never fit in or are completely accepted. Excellent writing which made me invested in the characters.

From the little video game play I've seen, as indicated here, 'looking for treasure' does seem to involve a lot of the very cat-like behaviour of knocking stuff down and smashing it. 😆
