Cover of How to Be Single

How to Be Single

Right on. Single gal or plain old spinster

The author, Liz Tucillo, absolutely nailed it in the head, that thing called, being single.

The Scent of Sake has memorable characters. But it's the way the story is told that makes this book less than wonderful. Nonetheless, I still think that it was an enjoyable read. For a few hours, I was transported into the world of sake merchants in 19th Century Japan, following, but never rooting for its main character, Riye, quite a woman to say the least.

I would be unfair to compare this book to James Clavell's Shogun or even to Pearl Buck's The Good Earth. The Scent of Sake is not a masterpiece but can be thoroughly enjoyed on a cool, rainy day -- with excellent Sake if possible.

Cover of Queen of Silks

Queen of Silks

Smooth as Silk. This is a book to be savoured.

The Queen of Silks is definitely one of the best books I have read so far this year. The book is a page-turner. I could not wait to see what would happen with the characters but at the same time, I was reluctant to finish the book because then I would not be so enthralled anymore.

Cover of Sepulchre

Sepulchre

Unforgettable

Enticing, tragic, horrific sometimes, the story of Sepulchre will linger in my mind for the years to come. The author of this book, Kate Moss, is a fantastic storyteller.

Cover of The Reincarnationist

The Reincarnationist

The idea of past lives colliding with present events is an interesting premise. Although the storyline did not get me engaged enough.
