Before starting I had an idea that it's going to be a nice and clam read based on the bookcover. But I feel it is too calm. Nothing much really happens during the entireity of the book. I liked the idea of living in the bookshop and able to read a lot of books but I don't really like the rest of things that are happening.
I beleive that any book that you read should make you uncomfortable with the ideas it presents or atleast question the things that are happening and make you feel disturbed a little. Or else what will be the point ?
I know we read books because it feels good at that point but is that it? Because as long as I am reading this book I feel good, peaceful and I want to read more but after I completed it I don't feel anything. There is nothing to think or worry about this book
Let me know what are your thoughts.

Not all books have to be cerebral. Cozy or entertaining is just fine. There’s a genre for everyone.

wow
Is it worth a read?
I haven’t read it but I feel like Japanese authors (or what I’m familiar at least) tend to be like that? Haha. I got a similar vibe from The Travelling Cat Chronicles and Before the Coffee Gets Cold (interesting but I thought if I read all 4 x same style I’d get bored so I only read the first one)
Like they just tend to be quite chill and explore interactions between people rather than big tragedy or mystery or whatnot. ↩ not quite my style/main preference but I don’t mind reading this kind once in a while for a change!
Sometimes you can read a book just for the entertainment value. You don’t have to learn anything from it either. And that’s okay.
