Ready to dive into Days at the Morisaki Bookshop? Here’s the reading schedule!

Every now and then, a book comes along that just touches your soul, and Days at the Morisaki Bookshop is one of those books. Written by Satoshi Yagisawa, this heartwarming story takes us on a journey of healing, discovery, and finding beauty in the most unexpected places. Picture this: a young woman, Takako, feeling lost, abandoned, and uncertain about her future, is invited to live at her uncle’s bookshop in the quiet neighborhood of Jinbōchō, Tokyo’s haven for readers and thinkers. Now, this isn’t just any bookshop—oh no—this is a magical place filled with the smell of paper and ink, where books hold the key to transformation.

Takako's time at Morisaki Bookshop becomes a turning point in her life. She discovers the world not just through the pages of the many books lining the shelves but through the quirky, unforgettable people who walk through the door. It's a slow, gentle unraveling of her emotions, her hopes, and her past. And in the quiet stillness of the shop, she begins to confront her heartbreak, make peace with her life, and find herself once again.

This is a story about the power of books, yes, but even more than that—it’s about the power of human connection, the beauty of rediscovering yourself, and the strength that lies in knowing that healing comes at its own pace, in its own way.

You will walk away from this book feeling refreshed, inspired, and believing that sometimes, the most ordinary places can offer extraordinary lessons.

This book is a quick read—only 150 pages! I’ve broken it into two weeks, but if you’re feeling ambitious, you can totally finish it in one. 🥰 No pressure, though—read at your own pace!

Here’s the plan:

📖 Week 1: Part I: Days at the Morisaki Bookshop – Meet Takako and the start of her journey as the bookshop's magic begins to unfold.

.📖 Week 2: Part 2 – Without giving too much away, Part 2 is all about healing from loss and deepening connections.

Can't wait to read along with y'all!

And don’t forget—our first video discussion will be Saturday, December 7th! 🗓️
