My Favourite Christmas Carol

 During these times of social distancing, singing carols via Meet may be the only alternative. I've always liked this song and I hope you like it too!

 

Love in Translation by Wendy Nelson Tokunaga: a book and a song

 

A really fun and at the same time interesting read for these times. I loved that the author included lots of Japanese words and expressions. If you are a fan of Japanese culture and want to read a story that takes place in modern Japan which includes references to traditional customs, food, karaoke and love, this book is for you.

You cannot miss this video in which Wendy Nelson sings the beautiful song that appears in the book.

Magpie Muders by Anthony Horowitz: opinion.

Everybody says so and it's absolutely true, this book is for fans of Agatha Christie, for those of us who miss classic mysteries and Hercule Poirot. It also has something else which usually appeals to readers, a book within a book. I must say though, that I liked much more the novel inside that the other one although both of them combined perfectly.
This was my first book by Anthony Horowitz and it won't be the last one.
