Welcome to Litsy!

These are such charming little books. And I don‘t feel as if I‘m missing anything with the translation. It was nice to revisit with old friends from the first book and nice to make new friends with this one. These are really feel good reads.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I loved it nearly as much as the first!

So true 😆

This series is addicting. Just finished the first book fifteen minutes ago and now on the second. Wild 😆

I enjoyed the second installment of this series. They‘re just nice, feel-good stories, and there are times when that‘s exactly what I need!

#bookspinbingo - this book earned 2 more bingos!

A few more heartfelt little stories about the café that allows you to time travel. The main idea of these stories is that everyone deserves to be happy, that you must try to live a happy life even after the death of a loved one, because that's what they would've wanted for you too. You also get to know a bit more about the main characters in this sequel. ☕
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆

I started to read Tales from the Cafe but since it's a different narrator, I kind of got put off? And it's not that they're bad, it's just that is gotten used to the other one 😂 I'll pick it up again soon

Oh, this was lovely to delve in to. This felt more like a novel than the last - I felt there was a bit more exploration of the cafe‘s staff and regulars. I hope Kawaguchi keeps writing these stories, they are just so lovely.

I loved revisiting this little basement cafe. It‘s such a sweet time travel series about a second chance to say the right thing. In the last book I was obsessed (if given this chance) with the all the ways I might keep my coffee hot for a longer time, but this book explained intricacies in the rules - and I just have to respect them. The best friend story, and the guilt of the adoptive father brought me to tears.

Y‘all know I wasn‘t a fan of Kawaguchi‘s prose style in his first book, but I liked the premise and the recurring characters enough that I figured I‘d give the second one a try.

I read about 40 pages while I waited for my sweet potato to cook, and… yeah. I‘m still frustrated with the clunky writing. This dude doesn‘t trust his readers to put anything together for themselves, or to remember details from one sentence to the next.

Another four charming, sweet, interlinked stories from the cafe where you can travel backwards or forwards in time.
