A woman inherits a pawnshop where you can sell your regrets, and then embarks on a magical journey when a charming young physicist wanders into the shop, in this dreamlike and enchanting fantasy novel. On a backstreet in Tokyo lies a pawnshop, but not everyone can find it. Most will see a cozy ramen restaurant. And only the chosen onesthose who are lostwill find a place to pawn their life choices and deepest regrets. Hana Ishikawa wakes on her first morning as the pawnshops new owner to find it ransacked, the shops most precious acquisition stolen, and her father missing. And then into the shop stumbles a charming stranger, quite unlike its other customers, for he offers help instead of seeking it. Together, they must journey through a mystical world to find Hanas father and the stolen choiceby way of rain puddles, rides on paper cranes, the bridge between midnight and morning, and a night market in the clouds. But as they get closer to the truth, Hana must reveal a secret of her ownand risk making a choice that she will never be able to take back.

I went to Barnes and noble to buy the new Okorafor which they didn‘t have 😭. How is it they don‘t have it in store but I can buy 500 copies of fourth wing? 😑

I was annoyed but I left with three other books.

This was my last book of '24 Pub Date Jan 14 '25
I think this is going to be so big this year! What a gorgeously written and magical story. Hana is taking over her family's pawnshops and her first day her dad goes missing and the shop is tossed over. A man from the normal world stumbles in and they traverse Hana's magical world together. This reminded me a bit of What Dreams May Come, and a bit Ghibli
Beautifully written & something for everyone

ChaoticMissAdventures P.s. I love when a title is a bit odd but as you read the meaning of it unfolds and becomes totally poignant. 2w

If you are looking for a cosy read that gives you Studio Gibli vibes, this is the book for you.

A hidden world behind the mundane reality, full of magic and wonder, and poetically described. A young pawnbroker brought up in this magical world and a young physicist from the 'real' embark on an adventure to find the pawnbroker's father.

I liked the whimsical nature of the book, it reminded me of The Starless Sea. ⬇️

julesG ... Yet, I didn't like the insta-love between the two characters. Furthermore, the physicist just took this other world at face value; it doesn't follow the laws of nature, but he doesn't once question it. I would have liked to see a tiny bit of disbelief. 3w
