Read two romances over the last week.. People We Meet on Vacation was a drag, and okayish... Compared was good to read, with lot of sadness behind the two main characters, a 3.5 starrer for me.

Why we sleep is progressing very slowly, Venetia is also a slow read going on.

All the best!! I'll be checking this space out for recommendations :-D

Finished The Miracles of the Namiya General Store.. It was a wonderful read.. I liked all the stories, and the the way the stories were interconnected with each other made this even better. I always like to know about the backstories of the characters, and this had 5 stories to cover everything... Absolutely loved it. My first 5 starrer for this year...
