4/9 Edited to

... Read moreI recently started reading 'The Convenience Store by the Sea' by Sonoko Machida and I must say, the setting alone is wonderfully inviting. The story revolves around a quaint seaside convenience store, which brings a comforting vibe that many readers can relate to. What really struck me is the deep appreciation for simple pleasures, like enjoying a well-crafted cup of coffee alongside a warm egg sandwich โ€” something the book vividly describes through the lore of Sachika Coffee, a locally roasted dark blend cherished by characters in the story. From my own experience, books that highlight everyday moments with such tenderness often create a strong emotional connection. It reminds me of the times Iโ€™ve sat in small cafes by the coast, watching the waves while sipping coffee, appreciating the calm. This novel seems to blend that sensory detail with meaningful character interactions, making it more than just a story โ€” itโ€™s a mood. Moreover, the bookโ€™s international acclaim and translation by Bruno Navasky add to its appeal, suggesting a quality that resonates beyond cultural boundaries. If you enjoy reading on a Kindle Paperwhite or looking for book recommendations that offer both warmth and depth, this is one to watch. Iโ€™m eager to share my full review soon, where Iโ€™ll explore Machidaโ€™s storytelling and how it captures the nuances of daily life with grace and charm.

Iโ€™m reading The Housemaid by Freida McFadden, and it is painfully slow. Iโ€™m already on chapter 20, yet it feels incredibly repetitive. Everyone keeps warning Millie that Nina Winchester is dangerous and that she should leave, with constant reminders that Nina was institutionalised. On top of that,
