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!

Detective Kaga Book 2: I was so impressed by Malice the 1st book in this series and this one I also really loved. It has a really inventive structure which lifts it out of the ordinary and made me feel like I was wandering through a hidden gem of a neighbourhood in Tokyo. I found the mystery really satisfying and the tone is warm without being saccharine. I think Higashino is one of my new favourite authors.
