April 2025 Book #1
Book received from a subscription in 2023 😳
It didn‘t work for me, I found it boring nothing catches my attention and it is so predictable. 1.5/2⭐️

Fault Lines | Emily Itami

This book is a tribute to modern Tokyo and I adored it.

Mizuko is a stay-at-home mother who keeps thinking of how different her life could have been had she made other choices. Yet she loves her children more than anything so she guesses it‘s fine. Until she meets Kyoshi and shows him her Tokyo.

I loved it all, especially while reading it in Japan.

Hell Bent | Leigh Bardugo

March 2025 Book #7 second book in Alex Stern series) I thought it would be a duology but not, third book is expected by September 2026. Well the ending suggests that a third book is coming. This book started very slow, I even thought if it was necessary a second book but then…the action starts. It has many twists and there is no way to describe it without spoilers. If you liked the first book, you will enjoy this one but ⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) stay with the story since it is a little slow at the beginning. This is the style I expect in this author. Never like Six of Cows but still good. 3.8⭐️

Allowing extra time for finding the right terminal, getting through security, and finding the right gate in an airport you‘ve never been in results in much down time!

#Read2025

Finished earlier in the week, it was one of my 6 #Roll100 picks for May (#7: Any Memoir). I really enjoyed the audiobook read by Ina herself. When I first started food blogging in 2008, I joined a group called Barefoot Bloggers & we cooked 2 of her recipes a month. In 2017 another group I was with cooked a recipe each week for 6 months, so you can say I‘ve cooked with her A LOT! I‘ve also watched her shows & follow her on Instagram & ⬇️

DebinHawaii … own most of her cookbooks, so listening to her read & share her life was like hanging out with an old friend. I like that she‘s genuine & just a little awkward which comes through in the book. In you are a fan, I think you‘ll enjoy it! 7mo

I Want to Die But I Want to Eat Tteokbokki | Se Hee Baek

so-so

Book #7 of 2025: “I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki” by Baek Sehee

What a relatable title. If I had read this book 10-15 years ago it would have changed my life. If you‘re relatively new to your mental health journey, I highly recommend this book. It‘s relatable, reflective, and has solid advice on dealing with depression and anxiety.

The Wedding People: A Novel | Alison Espach

so-so

February 2025 Book #7

Sorry, unpopular opinion here. I think this book was overhyped for me. That situation at the hotel was so unrealistic to me. Then, we have a character not only with suicidal ideation but also a plan to do it and it was ignored? I have read books with morbid humor like Hagman by Maya Binyam but from the beginning you see the absurd tone. I didn‘t see that in this novel. It was tragic so sad her situation but ignored⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) There were some funny scenes but in general, it didn‘t work for me. At the end we see a growth in some characters which gives hope to the characters.

Maybe the book was so well commented with great reviews and a rating of more that 4 stars in GR that I expected a stronger story🤷🏽‍♀️ 3⭐️ 7mo

Prairiegirl_reading I finished this recently and was also underwhelmed. 7mo
