Not quite time travel, but definitely time travel adjacent, which is close enough for me. I liked the interconnectedness of the characters and the overall optimism. I think it would appeal to people who liked Before the Coffee Gets Cold.

I've had high expectation on this one. All those good reviews spoiled me a little. Not the best way to start a book, right? But Higashino did not disappoint. Far from it. I think I had tears in my eyes when I read the last few pages. Such a touching story, so very well crafted. The whole book is magic, too!

This book was absolutely perfect! Three thieves hide out for the night in a closed down but magical general store and receive a letter asking for advice. They decide to answer the letter and soon a mystery unfolds. They way the stories interconnect was genius. I borrowed it from the library, but want to buy my own copy so I can re-read it whenever I want and force my husband to read it too.
Starting this tonight before bed. Looking forward to it.
Still working my way through the #PromptMaze

Great way to work through my TBR and it‘s so fun. 🥰🥳
When three delinquents hole up in an abandoned general store after their most recent robbery, to their great surprise, a letter drops through the mail slot in the store's shutter. This seemingly simple request for advice sets the trio on a journey of discovery as, over the course of a single night, they step into the role of the kindhearted former shopkeeper who devoted his waning years to offering thoughtful counsel to his correspondents. 5-stars
These people are no different from the rest of us. They have a hole in their hearts, and something vital is bleeding out.
this book is a bit out of my usual wheelhouse but I ultimately enjoyed it. the use of magical realism with a plot that loosely connects all the characters is both fun and a little absurd. at times, it also feels a bit too much like a froofy inspirational story but the aspects based on interacting with the past were pretty neat.
This has been a weird reading year so far. I've mostly done soothing rereads and it's ok. On the other hand, there is a constant flow of interesting new books that I keep piling on my TBR (pictured above) and soon my TBR will reach the moon.
But since I'm a mood reader to the Extreme, we just have to go with the flow. 🤔

[#BookReview] The Miracles of the Namiya General Store by Keigo Higashino. This was one of the most heartwarming and beautiful stories I‘ve read! I‘m genuinely in love with this book and not only is it a new favorite but I know it‘ll be one I re-read often. I highly recommend this book! 📚
