I cried so much reading this book. The poems speak to me and made me think about things that I hadn’t dared to think about in years.

I started this after my friend almost forced me to start it and boy am I happy I did! 
The tention, the characters and the world are beautiful and I need more and fast. 
I’d definitely recommend this, the only reason I won’t give it 5 stars is because the descriptions were a bit repetitive at times

Murder at the bookstore is the first book of the bookstore mystery series. It follows Jen as she just published her first novel and it was an instant succes. Jen was a writing block when her fruend is murdered. Jen solves the murder and recovers her writing block. 

This was the perfect book for getting me out of my reading slumb. It’s the perfect autumn read aswell. I didn’t really connect with any character and the author missed a great upperunity to play around with grief, the main character almost seems like she doesn’t even care that her friend has been murdered. She makes stupid choices while she doesn’t have to. I did enjoy it and that’s why I’ll give it 3 stars. If you liked a good girls guide to murder, you’ll like this book aswell.

I honestly expected to like this book at all, but I was pleasantly surprised. 
The door had a backstory which I liked and the story besides the spicy times was interesting. 
I liked that Tana had a personality than just liking spicy time. 
I´m giving this a 4 star because I would recommend this to people if I knew they´d enjoy it.
Thanks Danika. lol

The second volume of my happy marriage follows Miyo as she attempts to make a present for her fiance. As she and her maid Yuki go out to buy the supplies for the gift they encounter Miyo younger half sister, she’s cruel to Miyo and sends her into a depressive episode. Kiyoka is worried about her and invides Hana to help her get back on her feet. Miyo is finally able to tell Kiyoka the trough about herself.

I really enjoyed this manga volume, I read it in one sitting which is crazy to me. I thought it was really sweet how Miyo grows more confident around Kiyoka. the growth in their relationship is really sweet to watch aswell. the cliffhanger is eating me up and can’t wait to read the 3rd volume. Five out of five stars.
