Before the Coffee Gets Cold (First Time Trade)
Before the Coffee Gets Cold (First Time Trade) | Toshikazu Kawaguchi
4 posts | 10 read | 1 to read
"Heartwarming, quirky, and wistful." --HuffPost If you could go back, who would you want to meet? In a small back alley of Tokyo, there is a caf that has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. Local legend says that this shop offers something else besides coffee--the chance to travel back in time. Over the course of one summer, four customers visit the caf in the hopes of making that journey. But time travel isn't so simple, and there are rules that must be followed. Most important, the trip can last only as long as it takes for the coffee to get cold. "Resonant... The narrative is deeply moving." --Chicago Review of Books "The story is gold. Before the Coffee Gets Cold is perfect for anyone who wants to feel connected." --Bookreporter

Hello #SaturdayChatterday

A check-in for all Littens to share your plans, recommendations, what's on your mind, etc.
All are welcome. ♥️☕️♥️

I'll be popping back in and out through the day to catch up. I'm busy prepping the final details for #MidwinterSolace 💙❄️💙

I'll start of tagging BkueSky friends @JudeCC @TheLudicReader @Soscha @Suet624 @Kitta @LeahBergen @Traci1 @Nebklvr @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit

Bookwormjillk I‘m still thinking about bluesky. I really like threads but I know it‘s run by the Meta people. I‘m alternating deep cleaning and slothfulness today, and eventually want to make it to the library. 4d
AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk I like Threads too but want out of Meta. It's a lot to think about as it's such an integral part of our lives now. Hope you het a good library haul 😊 4d
TheBookHippie Taking the DIVA Miss Winifred to vet for her shots and nails to be cut… vet is hour away so three hour journey at the least… 4d

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie I can't imagine that she's thrilled about this trip. 😅 Good luck 🐾 4d
kspenmoll I am a total sloth today. Still in PJs, reading in bed after breakfast. If I decide to, a library visit for a hold. There is always Sunday… 4d
TheBookHippie @kspenmoll I made it to library yesterday!!! Arendt was in! Yay. Library closed here Sunday- Jesus didn‘t read apparently -or it‘s a sin -who knows.. 😂😂😅. 4d
AllDebooks @kspenmoll a duvet day is always a good day 😍 4d
Soscha I‘m always juggling multi reads & stuff I need to get working on. Portable Greek Reader & Greek Classics stuff (a major I missed out on), ARC stuff I‘ve involuntarily gave up on. Couple audiobooks, Serial Reader (Phantom of the Opera). Just started Prince of Hearts (Kiru Taye) which I‘ve learned is surely set in Lagos, with Hausa slang—and now *must* learn Hausa as these are the crayze sidetracks I get on. 3d
AllDebooks @Soscha I hear you x 3d
LeahBergen We are having a HUGE dump of snow today so I‘ve decided that I‘ll be “snowed in”. Nothing is allowed except reading. 😆 3d
AllDebooks @LeahBergen haha 😄 I did that on Tuesday. 💙❄️ Enjoy ❄️💙 3d
bookwyrm7 Ooh I didn't know this was a thing. I love it! Will try to join you all next Saturday. 2d

Had no idea this was based off a play until after I bought it. Some reviews said they didn‘t really like the writing style, but it didn‘t bother me too much. Some parts were a tiny bit repetitive, but I really did love the last two chapters… Sisters and Mother and Child. Loved the ending.

Garabrandtreviews Are you going to read the other three books? They are all amazing 11mo
AbstractMonica @Garabrandtreviews yes, I added them to my tbr pile so I‘m hoping to get to them soon 11mo

Don‘t mind me, I‘m just sobbing in a corner for all of eternity. This was beautiful. It hurt in all the right places but it was a good thing.

CatLass007 The description of this book sounds intriguing. I‘ve added it to my Audible wish list. 1y

#UnpopularOpinion time. I feel a bit like Scrooge shouting Bah! Humbug! but this did not live up to its hype for me.
While I love the concept, I found the stories overly sentimental, some of the characters really irritating, and if the prose had been written in the present tense it would have read exactly like overly detailed stage directions. 🤷🏼‍♀️

TrishB I bailed on this and have been forever scratching my head at the appeal! We definitely can‘t all like the same things. 2y
Leniverse @TrishB I read it one story at the time in-between other things, because it's only short and I was curious to see if we'd get some explanations. But I definitely won't be getting the sequel. 😆 Glad it's not just me though! 2y
