    Snuggling my books into their fresh covers and embracing these new little ones. 📚💕 Aahhhh! It’s been months since I last wrote a book review! The moment I finished reading the first book, *Days at the Morisaki Bookshop*, I was anxious and excited at the same time in reading the second one! One of @annecurtissmith‘s book recommendations!📚 Cuteness overload! Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!! Guess who abandoned the reading for snuggles???😹 “I turned off the light and breathed in the book smell that still lingered. It was as familiar as the background surrounding me. But I noticed something slightly different carried on the scent. Suddenly a small ember was rekindled in my heart. I wanted to read between the lines. I wanted to be someone who truly understood the meaning of an author’s words. I wanted to know more people, to be able to engage in deep conversations, and to learn what it was to be human.” (p.199) After enjoying “Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop,” I’m keen to dive into another story centered around a bookstore, as I genuinely appreciate the storytelling style. “Days at the Morisaki Bookshop” is next on my list! You know, Japanese-translated fiction has the power to stir deep emotions in me. If you enjoy books such as “Before the Coffee Gets Cold,” “The Cat Who Saved Books,” “If Cats Disappeared from the World,” and “She and Her Cat,” I’m sure this book will be an excellent emotional addition to your reading list. ‘Regretting You’ was one of my most anticipated reads of the year. Setting everything aside for a book is not something I do often, but Colleen Hoover is one of my favorite authors of all time. I can’t wait to open my package and feel the dopamine high! Aaanndddd… Ta-daaaa!!! ✨ More books to add to my towering TBR pile! 😅 📚 Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop
