Death in Paris (Màiri Maguire #1) by Kate Darroch

I am about one week away from a self-imposed deadline to make my first set of graphs for the year. I thought I was on track for it until I took a few days off from reading and blogging. It remains to be seen what this week will bring! Funnily enough, although the central plot…

Christmas with Hamish by Sophie Penhaligon

This was a lighter book that I picked up during my last visit to the library. It was a quick read and an enjoyable one. Rika sticks out in her family; she does not know her father and questions her place in the Japanese community. She works part-time at her aunts' business and finds her…
