As a librarian myself, i aspire to be like Sayuri Komachi someday. She's not only recommending books people want, but also what they need. And hello??? The way she chose little gift for every patron is just lovely! Lowkey makes me eant to try some felting by myself but uh I don't think i have the patience for the activity sigh

 I still have a long way ahead but this book taught me that everything happened for a reason. Even if you feel stuck, all you need to do is look for other perspective rather than what you usually do. 

Also wow now i think i need to have some Kuremiyado Honeydome cookies myself! Is that even exist??

Decided to finally read the midnight library after three years and turns out it is exactly the perfect time, when i needed it the most. I feel like i have the same doubts, insecurities, and negative views about myself as nora seed and it's nice to know that it's actually not that bad, you're just drowned on your sorrow and all you need to do is swimming to the surface to see it within new perspective and to make things right again. You're also not completely alone, no matter what you're thinking
