This was such a short and sweet read. If I could describe a comfort read through any book it would be this one. The book has about 5 chapters and each follows the story of a character at wildly different points in their lives, and facing different struggles, with one thing in common - they all receive book recommendations from the librarian at their community house and end up finding what they have been looking for - whether in their lives or in the library. It was especially cute how the characters were all loosely knit around the same circle - a background character in one chapter may have a significant appearance or role in another character's chapter. It was an easy read and filled with precious takeaways.
Creating a shelf for books I'll be re-reading in honor of this book, cause if I ever do re-read a book it would include this one.

The amount of epiphanies I had while reading this book is astonishing.

It was fine, I liked the fourth story. It’s a cosy book and I think some people probably could benefit from reading it, it just didn’t do a lot for me.

This is lovely :)
It didn't necessarily grip me every step of the way, it was a little calmer than that. But it does have this 'soul-healing' effect that japanese translated fiction does. They always lead me to viewing my life in a different way, in a helpful way for working on achieving my dreams :)
Highly recommend this^^
