Did you ever want to be a tour guide in another country? Did you ever want to be one for the not so family friendly side of this country? Well, this book might change your mind. This book was a perfect with the idea of “What could happen if the tourists you‘re dealing with… might be something he isn‘t?” A quick slow burn. I recommend reading it at a least once.

I did not really like or understand this book. And I am not a huge fan of this much age gap

I couldn‘t finish this book. The « hunter‘s log » made my skin crawl. I had an inkling about the ending, so I flipped through the last few chapters to confirm that hunch.

Decent crime fiction. This was a random library pick because it‘s an Edgar winner, has a 4.42 on GR, and Dennis Lehane recommended it. I was curious about the Hard Case Crime covers, and they all seem to be like this! (There‘s almost no sex in this one. 😙)

From the blurb, this sounds like it has vibes of one of my favourite TV shows, Midnight Diner. It's set in a taxi rather than a café, but the episodic stories of Tokyo's late-night/early-morning denizens resonates. Fingers crossed 🤞

1. Forget-me-nots, primroses, gerbera, snowdrops

2. The cover of the German edition has flowers on the cover and reminds me of spring. The flowers, the colours - this cover feels like the essence of spring to me. 😊

Trashcanman What are you up to this weekend Samantha? 2mo
Yuki_Onna @Trashcanman My plans have been crashed as I'm sick. Yesterday I had a high fever and could hardly walk. Today it's a bit better, luckily. The fever has gone.
How's your weekend so far?

Trashcanman Oh no! I‘m so sorry to hear that. Do you have e someone to look after you? I hope you feel better soon. My weekend has been good overall. Mostly good. More good than bad. I hope that we can have some deeper when you‘re feeling better. Nothing that makes you uncomfortable. I just wanted to catch up. It‘s been years. 2mo

Really enjoyed my second #roll100 read for March. Very, very weird, and at times hard to keep track of what was really, and what was a dream, a pretty wild ride!
