Do you love blues, and get the chills from devil packs? This might be for you.
In this simmering book, layered thick over the violent history of the southern states of America, we follow Bea, a 1920s woman who is tired of the relentless everyday aggre

Another brilliant Hobtown mystery! Hold on to your hats with that one, 'cause they went Memento on us.
Of course, it all makes sense, but you better be awake when you read.

I'll admit the first thing I wanted to do when I finished was go through it al

The Cursed Hermit by Kris Bertin

Totally love this series.
There is so much personality in this horrific mystery... and still it manages to hold so much heart and sweetness.
I love the strong Canadian vibe, the fantastical, the friendships, the weird, the offbeat, the creepy, it work

Chiisakobé, tome 1 by Minetarō Mochizuki
Rate this book
Clear rating
I was hoping to find something a little like Hirayasumi - that cosy comfy everyday atmosphere, all about learning to enjoy the moment.

But no, not at all.

This is more along the lines of Murakami, who I particularly dislike.
It's very hard to understa

Opal Edgar and 2 other people liked PizzaCaviar's review of Chiisakobé, tome 1:
Chiisakobé, tome 1 by Minetarō Mochizuki
"Juste malsain. Les personnages féminins sont systématiquement sexualisés, présentés comme fragiles et en position de soumission. Quand un homme parle on voit son visage mais très souvent quand il s'agit d'une femme étrangement l'auteur choisi de dess" Read more of this review »

I haven't been as excited about that book as I hoped.
I think everything looked too much the same, page after page.
I also think I have quite different tastes from the author as I hate oven broccoli for example, I find it acquires a bitter flavour an

Seasoning by Angela Clutton

A pretty book with French/Italian inspired cooking with an Anglo twist.
Everything looks tasty, but I can't say I really discovered anything and wanted to jump and make any of the recipes. This will probably be better for more novice cooks who want t

The Glass Slide World by Carrie Vaughn
Rate this book
Clear rating
It was a fine historical fantasy book, very smooth and easy reading.
I like the world, it's an interesting naturalist/magic system, I like the choice of not having a romance in it, it felt right to the character and that's refreshing in today's fanta

Turtle Island by Sean  Sherman

A fascinating Native American cookbook to be read for its histories, experiences and feelings just as much as its recipes.
I've never been to America, so I have very little knowledge about the continent, and this was such a beautiful eye-opener. As y
