Perfect read for JLC5!

She's back! Banana Yoshimoto's latest work, The Lake is out now! In her new book, she creates "a hypnotic, delicate, and suspenseful tale about a young painter named Chihiro and her relationship with a brilliant but troubled young man named Nakajima who has a mysterious trauma in his past."  Talk about a must-read book! I can't wait to get my hands on a copy and dive into Yoshimoto's words - I am positive it will be an excellent read!  And of course it will be the perfect book to read for the upcoming JLC5 hosted by Bellezza.  Can't wait to read everyone's thoughts on this one and post some of my own ideas about the book.

Don't you just love it when a book makes you excited about reading? Bliss.

And just so you know, a portion of the proceeds from this book will be donated to helping those affected by the devastation in Japan.
