#booked2019 #winter #remindsmeofmyhappyplace completed.

#mayscavengerhunt one of my #shortestbooks and #partofaseries completed.

5 ⭐ another hilarious compilation of things customers say in bookshops although you do despair at some of them.

So. Many. Tears. I loved this book! And I really enjoyed Death as a narrator.

Wow! Finally a thriller again that I really, really liked, from the first to the last page. It‘s Japanese, thus unusual. And it‘s not so much (we know who did it!) about the murder but about the investigation.

Last but not least it #RemindsMeOfMyHappyPlace, which is Japan, where I had the most wonderful time some years ago and where I really want to return to some day. #Booked2019

TrishB I‘d love to go to Japan! 5y
julesG It reminds her of her happy place, says the woman who's reading on a Caribbean island right now. 🙈🙈🙈😸😸 5y
BarbaraBB @julesG Ooooh, I sound horrible! You‘re absolutely right!! I am so very happy right now too. I just chose this book months ago as the one for this prompt, not knowing then where I would be reading it 😯🙈🙈🙈🙈😘 5y

erzascarletbookgasm I liked this one too! I recommend you read more of Higashino. 🙂 And I love Japan too! 5y
BarbaraBB @erzascarletbookgasm I will 😁, I mmediately bought a used copy of (edited) 5y
arubabookwoman That was the 1st book I read by Higashino and I liked it a lot. I've read a couple of others by him that I liked too. I envy your time in Curacao-of course I would pop over to Aruba too. 5y
BarbaraBB @arubabookwoman I hope you‘ll get there one day again, when your husband feels better! 5y
Cinfhen Since #booked2018 and the #JapaneseThriller prompt I‘ve become a fan of this genre. Your review of this book sounds excellent ❤️ 5y
Cinfhen Ha, but after reading the publisher‘s blurb I realized I bailed on this book last year 😂😂😂 5y
BarbaraBB @Cinfhen Really? For me it was the thriller I had been waiting for for months: one that didn‘t disappoint! #booked2018 made me a real fan too, That‘s why I used one again for #Booked2019 😉😘 5y
cathysaid Love this author. Just discovered 2017-18. 5y
BarbaraBB @cathysaid thanks! The Nakano Thrift Shop is on my tbr. Have you read 5y
Cinfhen I haven‘t read either book @cathysaid but I‘ve seen good reviews for Traveling Cat. 5y
cathysaid @BarbaraBB No! But it is now stacked...thanks! 5y
cathysaid @Cinfhen I was concerned the book would be too “sweet” but it was actually quite clever and beautifully written! 5y

AmyG I teally enjoyed Fruit of the Drunken Tree. 5y
IamIamIam @AmyG It was so unexpected!!! It was terrifying that the author actually had a kidnapping experience similar to the event in the book!! I never realized just how easy I had it growing up!! 5y
Cinfhen You‘re slaying it!!!! I can‘t wait to read 5y

Part chronicle of a disease, part life story, part travelogue—Moloka‘i has someone for most readers. It‘s heart wrenching sometimes, but with every sadness is a victory. If you‘ve lived with chronic illness like me, this may have special meaning for you. Highly recommend!

Second book in series pub date 2/19/19—already started the ARC.

Mehso-so

For a book called the Cookbook Collector, it took an awful long time to have any discussions of cookbooks. I appreciated how it tied in in the end, but still felt the book was lackluster over all and wanted more.

#RemindsMeOfMyHappyPlace #Booked2019 #6of65

Cinfhen Too bad it wasn‘t a total pick! Sounds like it had potential 5y
Literaturenut @Cinfhen Yeah, I was really hoping for a Like Water For Chocolate Feel with less misogyny, but unfortunately, it was disappointing on both account. (Although less so on the second count.) 5y
