Sayuri!!!!!

“What’s to cry about when I have a tidy apartment and a sink full of cooking utensils?”

I’m gagged

This book is like a big hug 🫶🏻

Loving this so far 😭. It's been so long since I read a wholesome book!

I love this book so much

¿Por qué nadie me dijo que iban a ser relatos cortos muy confortables? Qué maravilla.

Not a contest anymore
This is definitely my favorite book of the year

Everytime a new character mentions the Hatori Community House I do the Leonardo DiCaprio pointing scene.

I am finding this to be an oddly comforting read. There are different stories here and all connected in some way to the library. Everyone finds a clue to a life issue at the library. It is a guide, a mentor, and a friend you didn't know you needed.

Fave fave fave fave fave book of the year!!

“This didn’t just come to you. It happened because you did something for yourself. You took action and that caused things to change around you.”

FAVORITE BOOK TO READ THIS YEAR SO FAR

Finished the first short story, it was good. 👍

living in the present

Cats, books, and beer where at!!

What I do know is that there is no need to panic, or do more than what I can cope with right now. For the time being, I plan to simply get my life in order and learn some new skills, choosing from what is available.

In a world where you don’t know what will happen next, I just do what I can right now

I love this so much
Just finished Chapter 1 and how magical children's stories affect us

why did this woman give her a felted frying pan?

“In a world where you don’t know what will happen next, I just do what I can right now.”

this chapter hit too close to home ;) trust makes the world go round, indeed ~

very relatable ‘cause ryo, the protagonist, is in the same field and is contemplating on quitting the job he has to pursue a career he wants — who says he can’t do them both, right? such a heartfelt message this chapter has ;))

This is both a literary treasure and a self-help book rolled into one.

I am struuuuuuggling

This book is like a hug.
