I'm not going to put a full review up on my blog for this little book, which is too short to even be called a novella. This is a lovely character study story about a very troubled Japanese chef. Gently written and filled with humor, it is also quite sad. I don't recall which blog I found reference to these "Red Circle Mini" books, but thanks to whomever it was! Delightful!

Dont judge a book by its cover
I thought I was really clever and sussed a twist but I was absolutely wrong. Emma Mason has bravely attempted a colloquial style novel, very hard to achieve well and yet achieves it with aplomb. Brilliant twisty narrative about twins and resentment leading to murderess blood lust. There are so many crime books it's refreshing to read something a little different. An incredible debut.

DNF @ PAGE 45.

I read the first one a while ago and wasn't that impressed by it but decided to keep the 2nd and 3rd books to read at a later date and after starting it about a week ago, I've only made it to page 45 and have no desire to pick it up and carry on, so I'm giving in.

It's not my sort of story.

I still don't entirely understand the BDSM lifestyle and sometimes reading about it, I'm a little WTF? but because of the romance aspect/serious attraction between these two from the start I was quickly drawn into it. I liked both of them; Nick with his cocky attitude and Spencer with his need to please him in his submissive role.

I'm looking forward to reading more of these books!

City Fun by Margaret Hillert is a book with bright illustrations that are colorful, and show diversity. In this book, two friends have a day in the city. Some of the activities are they go to the park, the library, ride a bus, and watch some construction. The illustrations are bright and colorful. The story has limited words, the illustrations in itself tell a story. I believe that children will enjoy pointing to objects in the picture, and talking about the story beyond the word as they learn to read. These books would be a great addition to a home and class library for young children who are learning to read.

The Learning to Read series is easy to read. The series uses site vocabulary that is printed in the back of the book. The book captures the imaginations of beginning readers and help them on their way to independent reading. The books can be read aloud to young children or the children can read the books themselves.
