Review
“Ozawa’s translation gracefully captures the author’s whimsical and tender voice. Yagisawa has the right touch for lifting a reader’s mood.” — Publishers Weekly
"The unadorned simplicity of Takako's voice is anything but subtle, but it's somehow winning in its guilelessness . . . . Days at the Morisaki Bookshop draws a strong connection between the empathy unleashed by great literature and Takako's growing sense of self-confidence and well-being." — NPR
"The book’s vibe makes it pleasant company for an afternoon in the park with a snack." — Los Angeles Times
"Yagisawa’s prose is clean and direct even as he describes the Morisaki Bookshop and the city that surrounds it with extraordinary care and detail. The characters are also compelling, but it is really the setting and the atmosphere that stand out in this novel. Readers will want to linger in this world. They will want more when this concise tale ends." — Booklist
"Ozawa's translation preserves the drollness and buoyancy of Takako’s first-person narrative of small pleasures and mysteries. A familiar romance about books and bookstores, told with heart and humor." — Kirkus Reviews
"A slender book, but one rich in experience, exactly like the tiny, crammed Morisaki bookshop itself." — New York Journal of Books
"Steeped in the ambience of a used bookstore as it is in the culture of reading." — Yahoo News
"Thought-provoking, sincere, and honest." — The Uncorked Librarian

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read book
It’s a book with lofi - chill vibe music . It’s a short read book with not much drama . One can visualize the book without any crazy imagination.
4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and Fun but the Ending Lacked Pop
It's a fun read and the shows the complex way a couple of small businesses weave their way into the tapestry of people's lives. I didn't like how the book ended. It was an okay ending but it didn't pack much of an emotional punch.
5.0 out of 5 stars a cozy book about healing
I found this book at my library and picked it up on a whim. I didn't have high expectations but there was something really special about this story. It's cozy atmosphere, the way it described the MC's healing, and the various relationships between all the characters hit home more than I expected. Had to get my own copy to annotate. I think I've re-read it 3 times in total now whenever I feel like I need a hug.It's an easy read, about 2 hrs for me. It'd be a good book if you need something quick for your reading goals.
4.0 out of 5 stars Solid, I enjoyed it,
The book was a worthwhile read for me, it was wholesome and not too long. Overall, a good way to pass the time.
3.0 out of 5 stars Came intact
