A review by karenluvstoread
Days at the Morisaki Bookshop by Satoshi Yagisawa

4.0

I really enjoyed this book. The writing itself was not always spectacular; but the story made up for that. While it’s a story about a young woman who discovers a love of books and reading, it’s also about relationships and healing. And books are at the center of that. 

One of the scenes I loved in this book was when a love of reading was sparked. Here's a passage from that scene:

“I burrowed under my covers and began to read. My hope was that the book would be boring enough that I would fall right asleep. But a funny thing happened. An hour later, I was totally absorbed in it.” 
(p. 33)

Days at the Morisaki Bookshop is a heartwarming quick read that I definitely plan to read again sometime.
