Takako has never really found joy in reading or books, but when a revelation about her boyfriend sends her life into a spiral, moving into the rooms above her Uncle's second-hand bookshop provides a room and stability. As she learns more about the customers, her family, and herself, Takako discovers the beauty of a good book and the power to stand on her own feet again.
Days at the Morisaki Bookshop is a mocha in a large mug, with a ginger biscuit, whilst wrapped in a blanket, with slippers on. All the cosiness of an autumn hug, the quiet beauty of Before the Coffee Gets Cold, but with just a little less devastation and rawness. Reading this will transport you into this sleepy bookshop, with its musty smell of knowledge and its colourful array of customers. I really enjoyed this, and I will definitely be looking out for more from this series.
