Whiskey in a Teacup by Reese Witherspoon

What can I say? I can't cook and I loved the book. I've never been to the south of the US and I'm willing to move there right now.

A lovely read with delightful pictures and heart-warming stories.

A Simple Favor : I just cannot wait to see it!

Red Tea by Meg Mezeske: review

This novel is set in Japan, one of the most fascinating countries in the world because of its unique culture which the author describes in many parts of the book. If you love that country, this book is certainly for you and you will wish you had some green tea and a delicious onigiri to enjoy while you are reading.

Meg Mezeske engages the reader with well-developed characters and an intriguing plot. She depicts a very clear picture of life in a rural village where some unexplained deaths take place. Her main character, Jordan, an American teacher tries to fit in a Japanse school and at the same time solve the mystery behind those deaths with inspector Sakurai, an attractive policeman. The fact that their relationship is a bit difficult not only because of the situation they are involved in but also due to the fact that they come from very different cultures, makes the novel even more appealing.

Highly recommended to fans of murder mysteries and especially to those readers who are interested in Japanese culture.
