"It’s such an amazing record. I love Copenhagen on there, it just melts me. Though I said it’s hard to pinpoint influences, maybe at the end of Weird Dreams, the final track on my new album, I was doing my Scott Walker impression a bit. It’s an album I always come back to because of the mood. It’s light and dark: there’s beauty there, but the lyrics give it a real edge. You can get different things out of it. I hope I do that with my music in that it’s able to make you feel good, but if you really want to get into it you can relate to the darkness. I’m always looking for that balance."

The Little Café in Copenhagen (City Bakes, #1) by Jules Wake, writing as Julie Caplin
The Little Café in Copenhagen is a gentle and warm read, almost hygglich itself. I don't read a lot of contemporary novels, so it takes something special to keep my interest. And that is exactly what this gem of a book did from the very beginning.

Kate is a woman who has convinced herself that she is doing the right thing, in all areas of her life. She thinks she is in line for a promotion, and honestly can't think of anything better. Of course, when she doesn't get it, but is offered a conciliatory bone instead - a bone that no one else wanted - she grabs it with both hands, determined to make the best of a bad situation. With an eclectic cast of characters, this book gels together in a way that keeps you turning the pages. They all have their secrets to share (all apart from one) and Eva manages to get them to spill the beans in an almost magical way.

There was nothing about this book that I didn't like! The writing style was smooth and witty in all the right places. The scenes flowed from one to the next, and I loved how it was split into three different sections. There were no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted my reading flow. I loved every word, and can't wait to continue with this series. Absolutely recommended by me.
