Good combination!

My Santa delivered 2 books to me today and I am really happy with their choice. One is an historical novel (my favorite genre) about Korea and Japan. I've loved historical novels situated in Japan before, so I'm looking forward to diving into Pachinko. The other is a lighthearted read, one from my wishlist. The kind of book to take with you to the beach, a bit of a guilty pleasure. So, I find the combination of these two brilliant, one heavy and one light. Thank you very much Santa!
