Hi Katja, I think I told you I lived in Japan for three years and I am very much into translated Japanese fiction so I watched the whole video even though, perhaps food detective might not be up my street😊 I enjoyed days at the Morisaki bookshop so I might be interested in more days. Aloha friend.

Thank you 💛✨️If you liked "before the coffee gets cold", there's a chance you'd like the foodies 😊. I hope you like the morisaki sequel as much as the first. I just saw a goodreads review where someone had the opposite opinion to me - saying they prefer this to the first.

I am looking for the Salmon - it sounds lovely! I just read “food detectives” and I have to say, it was not intricate or intriguing to me. I loved the food and the relationship between the father and daughter, but it fell flat in the “mystery” and the fact that the daughter and cat felt superfluous. Bookshop woman is on hold! Just waiting!

Deea, I notice you don't mention More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop 🤣😉 I think the foodie one worked for me because I decided not to consider it a mystery novel. The detectives bit is very misleading - we think crimes/murder mystery etc. So even though it said Food I was "huh?" 😕 for the first story.

I hope you find Salmon and that the wait for Bookshop Woman isn't too long ✨️

@@PageTurnersWithKatja I think it was that we didn’t follow him on his journey to discover or investigate. All we got was the story after the fact.
