The Full Moon Coffee Shop: A Novel | 
so-so⭐️⭐️💫
This was a very quick read and a pleasant enough way to pass the time on a train ride. I liked the vibes - astrology and cats. I definitely preferred “Before the Coffee Gets Cold” and “What You Are Looking For Is In The Library”, though.
pickThis was so sweet! Perfect reading for what feels like our first actual #fall weather. Highly #recommended!

Another cozy, heartwarming Japanese novel with talking cats and a mystical pop-up café. Astrology plays a significant role throughout the book, and while it isn‘t usually my thing, it didn‘t detract from my enjoyment of the book. You really can‘t go wrong with warm, comforting reads like this. 📚
pickA cozy book about knowing yourself and rebuilding from rock bottom. The astrology was a little heavy-handed for me, but I still found it fun. Plus, I loved the cats. 4 stars.

so-soA quick read that was hand sold to me in the local bookstore. Generally uplifting in that slightly twee way that seems to be a hallmark of this genre of a Japanese fiction. Talking animals and life lessons and all that. The translation was better than others out there with dialogue that flowed a bit better. I think if you love this genre of book, you will enjoy this for sure.
pickThis was so good! I‘m glad i picked this one up. If you like astrology then this one is for you. If you like taking cats then this one is for you. I don‘t want to give anything away but the character connections and flow of the story line was really good. It‘s a light read. A good palate cleanser. Everyone should read this one!
At Kramers, the boozy bookstore in DC.
So scrap yesterdays post about starting Lady Macbeth because its due back to the library today. Back on the TBR it goes. Too many holds and so little time! Im starting this one today and it just so happens that its a full moon!
pickFive people, all struggling with different aspects of their lives, find their way to a mysterious coffee shop pop up where they are given delectable treats and life advice based on their astrology by giant talking cats.
The astrology stuff went over my head but the self-help stuff was actually lovely and light-handed with both a touch of fate and free will. The reveal at the end brought me to tears.
pickIf you need help on a full moon, The Full Moon Cafe may appear to you, & the staff of cats will give you advice & food.
I am obsessed w/ these Japanese fabulist stories. The foods made me hungry, & the cats were insightful providing astrological insight/advice.
The stories are sweet & charming. I loved the characters that are dealing w/ difficult times in their lives, & they come to the cafe to get the push they need to move forward.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
pickA Coffee Shop run by cats pops up on the full moon and helps a loosely associated group of characters. It's adorable. Definitely a palette cleanse book.
Somehow got an inadvertent selfie into my photo. 😂 oops
