**extra book for Shadow & Flame - letter A - 23 tags for 5 stars

This book is similar to many current Japanese books - short and minimalist, a mixture of everyday details and magical realism, an uplifting message, often containing cats and/or books. This is a collection of 5 linked stories about people who are searching for something in their lives. A mysterious librarian recommends odd books that turn out to be turning points in the characters' lives. it's a sweet story, I just feel like I've read it all before.
