This weekly reading list meme is hosted at Book Date. Join in to see what others are reading and maybe get some ideas of what to read next! Although the Book Date link-up happens weekly, I don't update that often. Usually I do this around the middle of the month, and try to share my monthly bookshelf summary on the last Monday of the month. Here's what I've been working on lately!
I finished reading . . .
The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai - Nagare and his daughter Koishi run an unusual diner in Kyoto that specializes in recreating dishes their clients remember and want to experience again. Each client's search is a short story, and the focus is on the nostalgia and emotional connection to food. (Read my review HERE.)
I'm currently reading . . .
The Vanishing at Castle Moreau by Jaime Jo Wright - I'm nearing the end of this dual timeline story, and it's still keeping me guessing! About a hundred years apart, Daisy and Cleo find themselves frightened yet somehow compelled to discover what happened to other young women who are rumored to have disappeared at Castle Moreau.
Wimpy Weak and Woke by John L. Cooper - Working on this a little at a time. I need longer blocks of time to concentrate on it, and I don't have a lot of those right now.
Silencing the Siren (Ever After Mysteries) by Denise L. Barela - I just got started on this retelling of "The Little Mermaid" for a review.
Up Next . . . On the TBR stack . . .
The stack grows faster than my ability to read it, especially lately! No guarantees, but these are the top contenders for me to pick up next:
Voice of the Ancient by Connilyn Cossette
Sisters of Fortune by Anna Lee Huber
On my blogs recently . . .

I haven't read any of these, but the Kamogawa Food Detectives is one I'll be adding to my TBR - I love the premise and there are definitely foods I wish I could experience again! Thanks for stopping by my blog, and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm not interested in the Japanese foods so much, but it was educational to read about some of those dishes that the detectives tracked down. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThe food detectives book sounds like a good one. I keep forgetting about the 26 lists posts. One day i'll rememeber.
ReplyDeleteIt was a cute book, and a relatively quick read. I liked that it was a series of shorter stories so I could read it in bite-size chunks. (see what I did there? LOL) Sometimes I almost forget about the 26 lists, to be honest! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteHi Kym, I haven't read any of your suggestions but the food detectives book sounds like fun. I like the sound of The Vanishing at Castle Moreau which I will add to my TBR list. Thanks so much for sharing with us at #WOYBS? I hope you can join us next month.
ReplyDeleteI just finished The Vanishing at Castle Moreau and it is really good - bit of a surprise ending. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteThis is great Kym, you've read some interesting books! It's always fab to see what others are reading and to get new ideas for books. Thanks so much for sharing with us for #WOYBS
