so-soA slow-paced, contemplative novel about life running a bookshop. We meet various characters and discover the roots of their hopes, wistfulness and melancholy.
More vibes than plot, this was nonetheless a cosy read.
A major theme was work and the way it can both drain or enrich a life.
A sweet, gently philosophical read that celebrates books and coffee.
Morr_Books I know you are soso about this book, but it is so pretty. 😀 20h

RaeLovesToRead @Prairiegirl_reading I've read Before the Coffee gets cold and the first sequel. I loved it. You can almost taste the coffee 😌 If you actually think about the time travel mechanics it doesn't exactly add up but SO WHAT hahaha 💕 10h
RaeLovesToRead @Prairiegirl_reading I tend to avoid books with cat in the title because I can't cope if anything bad happens to a cat in a book so I would be reading the whole thing worried 😅 10h
Prairiegirl_reading Nothing bad happens to the cats! I wouldn‘t love that. 😊 I was just wondering because I was thinking about reading this one soon and thinking these were maybe comps. This cozy genre is new to me and I NEED MORE!!! 8h
RaeLovesToRead @Prairiegirl_reading In my latest video I do declare that cosy isn't for me because I need more of a hook, however, I would suggest this one if you don't need plot and just want vibes! The characters are all quite melancholy so it isn't overly saccharine, and it had more depth than Dallergut Dream Department Store. So yeah... it was sweet 😊💕 32m
