These are my #ReadYourKindle options for January. Since I'm still working on 192025 (10 more to go!), I'm going to aim to read the tagged as it's the shortest and an ARC that I haven't gotten to yet.

pickI have come to really love Japanese cozies and this is such a good one. I plan to continue this series. A food detective is such an interesting profession and one I would not have thought there was a need for. Each client has such a personal and complicated link to the dish they want recreated. The Kamogawa father and daughter team are so great together and the cat, Drowsy, is a running gag. This book will leave you with a warm glow. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This gorgeous story gives us a glimpse into the lives of 3 people, each arrive after their deaths at a photo studio run by Hirasaka. They select a photo from each year of their lives to add to the lantern that will be their "life flashing before their eyes". We get to know a nursery teacher, a yakuza enforcer & a young abused girl. The ending was so satisfying it made my heart hurt & I'll be thinking about these characters for a long time.
so-soEntertaining enough, but just too flawed to give a pick. The writing is a bit simple, the time idea falls apart in the lightest breeze, and the big plot points are visible miles away. Bindi says a good walkies is way better.
pickI was sold on this one by a convincing shelf talker at my favorite bookstore, and it didn't disappoint! This fantasy played with time, memory, history, and love. It was a little commentary on censorship, a little on government corruption, and a lot on the influences on our consciousness and reality. I loved it! This was my November #Bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
What happens to memories? We have memories. Memories that we accumulate throughout our lives. What happens to them once we are no longer here? Once we pass on to wherever it is we go too. This book tells a story of what may happen to them. A beautiful, touching, loving, story.
This one will be in my top 10 for the year.
