The Lonely Book | Kate Bernheimer

For #nationalindependentbookstoreday 🇺🇸, I spent a few hours hunting down books that would replace lost library books and delete student fines. It was so hard not to buy books I love and focus on specific titles. It's also #schoollibrarymonth. If your kids have outgrown their books, see if the local grade school will take them.

There‘s something rather charming about the idea of the recently deceased stopping in a magical photo studio to help create a photo lantern, made with a photograph from every year of their life. Then there is also the chance to revisit a moment from their past, to take a photo of a moment that they really treasured - they are guided in this by Mr. Hirasaka.

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I really enjoyed this snippet into each guests life, a retired nursery teacher, a yakuza overseer and an abused child. Humankind‘s capacity for compassion shines brightly in this cozy time travel tale. 4d
BooksandCoffee4Me Hmmm, looks and sounds incredible. Adding it. 4d

This book is so cute! I‘m so glad I picked it up at the library the other day. Koishi and her Dad run a hard to find restaurant and detective agency. You describe a dish associated with a memory that you want to taste again and they will make it for you, make it taste the same as it did in that memory.

Highly, highly recommend if you need something cozy to read.

It‘s a pretty nice spring day. Starting a new book from my #AuldLangSpine list to try to get out of a bit of a reading slump. The barista excitedly told me she just finished this one as she was bringing me my dirty chai (also having overnight oats with apples and peanut butter).

I finished the last book and the pollen onslaught drove me back inside so I‘m diving back into this one.

First finished book of 2025! There seemed to be some missed potential in not connecting the individual vignettes but otherwise it‘s a nice cozy book! Apparently GoodReads has a list of cozy translated novels….and I‘ve read several. This genre is my jam! Thanks, Rachel, for sharing this book with me! I really enjoyed it! #LitsyLove

BookmarkTavern The sequel is just as good! 4mo
iread2much You are very welcome! I am so glad you enjoyed it. 4mo

3.5/4⭐️ (between very good and excellent)

I love the premise of this book and I flew through it, however I suspect I would have enjoyed it even more if I knew more about Japanese cuisine. The food descriptions meant nothing to me. The human stories resonated though.

Plot and Engagement: 4 (excellent) Character and Atmosphere: 3 (very good)

Actually, originally from Walt Whitman. Oh, how I love this movie! It came out when I was a freshman in high school, so I felt like I went through school with them. We actually performed it in concert choir, too. #memories
