The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai, 229 pages

 What’s the one dish you’d do anything to taste just one more time?

Down a quiet backstreet in Kyoto exists a very special restaurant. Run by Koishi Kamogawa and her father Nagare, the Kamogawa Diner serves up deliciously extravagant meals. But that’s not the main reason customers stop by . . .

The father-daughter duo are ‘food detectives’. Through ingenious investigations, they are able to recreate dishes from a person’s treasured memories – dishes that may well hold the keys to their forgotten past and future happiness. The restaurant of lost recipes provides a link to vanished moments, creating a present full of possibility.

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, 432 pages

 When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a terrifying creature arrives to demand retribution. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not truly a beast, but one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled her world.

At least, he’s not a beast all the time.

As she adapts to her new home, her feelings for the faerie, Tamlin, transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie she’s been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But something is not right in the faerie lands. An ancient, wicked shadow is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it, or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever.

Al Jaffee Blows a Fuse by Al Jaffee, 188 pages

 "This book is a collector's item," says Phil T. Trasch. "And that ain't all. Each and every one of Jaffee's books is a collector's item.

Colton by Jenna Myles, 316 pages

 Love men who fall first? Like strong curvy heroines? How about I throw in a high rise full of billionaires and a hero with some serious golden retriever energy?

Evie did the right thing, she saved a life, and it cost her almost everything. I'm going to make damn sure she's made whole again.

So I've been carrying her picture around with me for a couple of months.
So I argued with the guy at the hardware store over glitter paint for her little girl's bedroom, a bedroom in an apartment I want to give them.
So i've been checking on that empty apartment ever night for months.

That doesn't mean anything though. I'm not obsessed.

When I finally get the call she's ready for our help, I hop in my jet and go get her.

I expected to find a worn out, exhausted woman. And I did. But she also called me Conan (as in barbarian) and didn't tolerate any of my bullshit. And that little girl, well she has me acting like an idiot just to make her smile.

Ok, so maybe I am obsessed.
