Published on : 2018 (translation) || Format : print || Location : Japan One line review : Keiko would rather behave exactly as others expect her to so she doesn't disappoint "society", and so she works at the same convenience store without changing anything about her life, but very soon the same society expects her to "upgrade" (change career and find a husband), except there is no manual on how to do these. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ When something was strange, everyone thought they had the right to come stomping in all over your life to figure out why. I found that arrogant and infuriating, not to mention a pain in the neck. Sometimes I even wanted to hit them with a shovel to shut them up, like I did that time in elementary school.

The Passage by Justin Cronin:
I didn't really have time to pick this up last week, but hey today starts a new week! I don't want to get bogged in a chunkster, so I'll take this one slow even if it takes me a month to finish it.
Stealing Lumby by Gail Fraser:
I have just a few mores pages to go, but isn't this book delightful! I am not enjoying it so much as the first Lumby book, Lumby Lines. But Lumby is still as quirky as I remember it!
Moloka'i by Alan Brennert:
I'm reading this one with a few buddies from one of my Goodreads groups. I've heard so much of this one and Brennert's other book, Honolulu. I'm especially in love with this cover!
