  Delicious in Dungeon, Vol. 10. by Kui, Ryoko.

  ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆

  This series continues with the group working toward saving Laios's sister and eating delicious meals. At times you consistently wonder how many lives can the group live with how many dangerous situations they find themselves in. This is continues to be a story where there is the absurdity and good eats, as Kui gives recipes for each of the dishes that is prepared. This part of the story gets more meta, specifically for Ryoko Kui pointing out what happens if a characters has their greatest wish fulfilled and then what can happen as time goes on. This volume is pretty exciting. Manga readalikes for this series is Toriko and Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill.

  Being a dog : a tail of mindfulness by Gianferrari, Maria,

  ☆☆☆☆☆

  Be in the present moment with this book.  The author Maria Gianferrari has made a book of mindfulness for children.  Like the dog in the book, wag your body, breathe in sniff, sniff, sniff, stretch, greet the day, munch your food.  Play every day is the motto.

  Himawari House by Becker, Harmony,

  ★ ★ ★ ★ ☆

  This is a good read. I found myself drawn into the story. Much of the text in this book is actually with subtitles which is unexpected (Japanese), so I found myself enjoying reading the Japanese conversational text. Himewari House shows the stories of three females who find themselves living in a shared home in Tokyo as a coming of age story. I definitely thought about buying this book for my own personal collection. Thank you Free Library for having this book!
