"It's important to stand still sometimes. Think of it as a little rest in the long journey of your life. This is your harbour, and your boat is just dropping anchor here for a little while. And after you're well rested, you can set sail again"

Enjoyable and inspiring. It's good to read stories about finding the joy in slow, peaceful life. Now I'm in the mood to check out the authors mentioned in the book!

A lovely little volume and an easy yet emotionally compelling read. Lessons are learned and personal growth achieved against the charming backdrop of a secondhand bookshop.

It's so short and heart-warming! I love the simplicity of this book. And I absolutely love books, too! AHA!

Idk why people didn't like the second part. The second part wasn't directly related to the Morisaki Bookshop but so does the first part, in a way.  Although the second part did feel like a side story but it was just as relaxing and calming as the first part was. It's a slice of life/coming of age story with complicated characters and beautiful visualisation.
