Dewey‘s 24-Hour Readathon is about to begin! It‘s my 32nd consecutive ‘thon (which: whoa) and I‘m all set to kick it off with another chapter from THE KAMOGAWA FOOD DETECTIVES. It‘s lovely so far; a little bit like MIDNIGHT DINER in how it uses particular dishes to unravel the mysteries behind people‘s lives, but without the show‘s underlying grit. #deweysapril2024
pickTwo boys, Reef and Theo, have lost their memories. To each other, both long-term and short-term!! If they don‘t write notes to themselves, the navigation of their daily lives becomes rather complicated. Their quest is to find out why…

April #BookspinBingo card! My #Bookspin is Bourdain (excited to finally have the impetus to read this Kindle book I bought on a deal ages ago!) and my #DoubleSpin is Green Dot (an ARC I won from a Goodreads giveaway a few months ago).
pickThis is a sweet little book… not quite a novel, maybe more connected vignettes? Surrounding a father-daughter team who run a restaurant that specializes in recreating a meal the customer is trying to remember from their past. Very cozy.
pickFood and memory are uniquely entwined. This is a sweet story of a father-daughter owned restaurant / food detective agency.

Favorite book of the month is tagged but Stories on Rye is a favorite too. Still struggling a bit with a slump, it‘s been hard for me to focus on anything other than a graphic novel or a very short book. Hope this feeling ends soon, my books are pulling up.
pickTrying to recreate that perfect nostalgic meal from your childhood? Contact the Kamogawa Detective Agency where a father & daughter pair will research & recreate that perfect dish.
This was an absolute pleasure to read. The relationship between Koishi & her father Nagare was such fun to read.
I loved that these stories show how entwined food & memory & family are all together for all these clients looking to recapture joy or comfort. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

pickAn insightful, painful, hopeful look into a piece of art created from artifacts from each of Canada‘s residential schools.
