Wonderful.
The moral, to me: Keep living and giving and you will find the story that sets you alight.

LOVE this little tiny novella of sorts. Featuring Yute, and a series of paradoxical interactions in bookstores across time, it was a spectacular taste of the book I love so much. A fun read in anticipation of the release of the second book of the Library Trilogy next month.

A lovely short story; full of magic, one of my fave characters (Yute), love for books, time travelling, cute cats and a heartwarming ending. ❤️

It was hard to follow at times but Mark's books, so far for me, seem to require some brainpower to keep up. 😅 But it all comes together in the end!
