Emiko lives with her Ojiichan in a small town on BC's Sunshine Coast surrounded by friends and neighbors, including her childhood friend Kenzo Sanada, who wants her to spend less time meddling in every else's love lives. But Emiko can so clearly see who belongs together, even when her targets don't know it themselves. She simply has to meddle -- for the sake of true love! As for her own romantic life though ... who has time for that? Emiko is far too busy with her matchmaking schemes, volunteering, her bustling social life and making plans for after graduation. Plans she will absolutely decide on soon. Definitely. Maybe? But when Emiko ends up falling for the very last person she expects, she finds herself caught in the tangled web of her own love matches!

My delicious garden / by Fortin, Anne-Marie.; Castanié, Julien,1983-; Camlot, Heather.;
The year has just begun. But even in January, with the snow still falling, a little girl is already imagining the great big vegetable garden of her dreams. Month by month, this little gardener describes all the different stages of her garden, and the hard work and careful planning that must go into it before she can reap the juicy rewards. In January, she dreams about the day that the first shoots will push through the surface of the soil. In February, she draws up her garden plans on grid paper, deciding where all the different fruits and vegetables will go. In March, she sows tiny seeds in egg shells; in April she sees the first leaves of her tiny seedlings; and in May, it's finally time for planting outside. In June, she inspects her garden carefully every day, waiting patiently for July-her favourite month of all-when the harvest begins! In October and November, after the leaves fall and the first snow has settled, the garden is once again at rest. And in December, all those summer treasures are arranged on a festive table, and the little gardener gathers with loved ones in a celebration over a table of home grown food.LSC
