I was a bit intimidated by her work before, but now I will give her other books more of a chance, I think. <br /><br />Moloka'i is such a good book. It's one of my all-time favorites. I hope you will give it a chance!<br /><br />I like the cover of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake as well (UK version over U.S.). :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-55479204729853964182017-05-26T19:54:27.475-07:002017-05-26T19:54:27.475-07:00La La - I have enjoyed the Hoffman books I have re...La La - I have enjoyed the Hoffman books I have read. I really would like to read more of her work. I love her writing style. She is what saved me for magical realism. I read a book by another author that made me think I hated the genre, but she brought me around to realize it depends on the author and has nothing to do with the genre itself.<br /><br />I hadn't heard about the prequel to Practical Magic, but now I will be sure to keep a look out for it!

It's such a classic book thing, very inviting. Goodreads and its home page has me wanting to read Moloka'i, beyond the story itself it's always in mind.<br /><br />I've always loved the cover of Aimee Bender's The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, UK edition, both hardback and paperback.

I haven't read too many books like that--but if you ran into it with Shadow Tag, I'm thinking it must be common practice for her given that is also the case for LaRose.
