Spiderweb by Penelope Lively
Book Description:
At age sixty-five, retired anthropologist Stella Brentwood buys a cottage in Somerset, England, and slowly acquires neighbors, a dog, and a professional curiosity about the country village where she intends to settle and put down roots for the first time. She has spent her life studying communities of people--their families, social structures, how they welcome outsiders into their midst-remaining an observer, privileged to share in their intimate life but not obliged, and finally unwilling to tie herself closely to any lover, friend, or social group. In Somerset, Stella once again finds an opportunity to become part of the web of relationships that make for human society, as well as a chance at true friendship and love. How will independent-minded Stella Lays reluctant to make an emotional commitment, respond? Written in exquisitely nuanced prose, Spiderweb is a captivating and deeply moving novel, a brilliant vision of our modern experience.

I owe you the image, turns out I don't know how to put it in the message :unsure: :blush:
It is supposed to be a good author, she was nominated for the Man Booker price twice, although not for this particular title. I just started reading it.

Crazy Love Story Vol. 1 by Lee Vin
A realistic high school tale of love and acceptance. The heartfelt drama revolves around Sung Moo, Hae Jung and Jimmy, three teens trying to make sense out of their dysfunctional world. Filled with bad boys, hot teens and love triangles, the series explores the thin line between friends and "more than friends."

Crazy Love Story Vol. 2 by Lee Vin
Hae Jung is just an irresistible sort of girl; Sung Moo has fallen for her hard, Bo Na has also confessed her feelings, but Jimmy seems to be the only one she'll be with. Determined not to be left behind, Sung Moo takes a walk on the wild side, learning more than he thought possible about Hae Jung and Jimmy, and the story of how these two hooked up. A death in the family drives Hae Jung out of control can Sung Moo save her from herself?

I'm guessing manga probably isn't your thing Pepper...but I've got other books you could choose from if this isn't stolen!

In her assured debut, Crawford, a caterer with many travel-related
articles to her credit, introduces an appealing family trio: tender-hearted Libby Simmons, owner of a catering business, A Little Taste of Heaven, in Longely, N.Y.; her wisecracking sister, Bernie, a refugee from L.A. and a disastrous marriage; and Sean, their wheelchair-bound father, a retired police chief. Nasty Laird Wrenn, a best-selling author of vampire fiction, plans to celebrate his success with appropriate menu (Bloody Marys, devil's food cake) and decor to match (black roses, a coffin) at a reunion dinner to be held at the local high school. When Laird drops dead at the dinner after drinking a glass of water, a slew of ill-wishers, including Libby's close friend Tiffany, whom Laird was stringing along, become suspects in his sudden demise. A naturally flowing narrative, lively and likable characters, and plenty of clever word play amid the foul play set this first novel above the common run of cozies.
