Status Updates From What You Are Looking For Is...

Started but didn’t read very far.

This is altering my brain chemistry and I want to reread this a million times. I love it so much and can't wait to finish it so I can reread it.

‘the earth goes around.
we gaze at the moon, illuminated by the sun.
feet on the ground and facing the sky, we go forward, changing as we do.
in order to deliver a larger truth to the person looking down at an open page.’

Al parecer, todas las historias tienen en común estar en el mismo barrio, por ende el mismo centro cultural y biblioteca.

I'm excited to read this. I'm worried the last book I finished will put me in a reading slump so I'm starting a cozy book asap

AWWWW YAYYYYYY

Librarian queen of boundaries

I am not really liking this that much and I’m quite upset about it

screaaaams

This is the cutest book

the way these are connected is making me cryyyy STOP

If this book was food this would be the (fictional) honey dome cookies which are a theme: pretty, perfectly looking in japanese style, soft goo-ey center, and sweet. But I expect I would find those cookies as delicious as the people in the book. Very charming, even if it is didactic.

’m a third of the way through ‘What You’re Looking For is in the Library’ and I’m loving the simplicity and clarity of the author’s message. The book is really resonating with me so far, and I’m looking forward to seeing where the rest of the journey takes me.

This has been a delightful little read so far.

Eh. Not sure I’m going to get through this book. “Heartwarming” isn’t exactly my favorite genre.

5 short stories where the main character differs. The stories are tied together by the library where they get recommended a book by a very special librarian. The first three stories were okay, but the fourth really resonated with me and earned a special place in my heart

the time will pass !

Nå har jeg lest det første kapittelet. Altså, det er en søt historie, men jeg vet ikke helt om det er min greie?

that conversation was soooo “you can do something different every year” coded 🥹

Så far så liker jeg ikke måten boka er skrevet på. Det er veldig, så skjedde dette, og så dette også skal vi ikke gå over det, men dette skjedde da

obsesseddddd

Not sure I vibe with this yet..

first story had me in tears

Sweet, perhaps too sweet in parts for me, at least me-usually. But the characters and their dilemmas are well done, and there is a kind of sensible attitude, that even if it is didactic, to people improving their lives a bit which is likeable. (Even if it is perhaps too sweet!)

This book 😭😭🥲

So far the book has been so heart warming and pleasing. The characters are super relatable and the way that they go through their own struggles to then overcoming them help me reflect on my own and give me motivation. :D
