Thought-provoking in places, but overall a pretty underwhelming read. Some ideas linger, about the 3/11 disaster, but the execution didn‘t quite land.

I love browsing books. I can spend evenings navigating between Litsy and Goodreads and Google and wondering what to read next. But it‘s all online and sometimes lacks surprises and spontaneity. So yesterday I browsed my library‘s shelves without a list in hand. I picked up books, read the blurb, read the first sentence and maybe two or three in the middle and then decided whether I want to read more or not. And I really liked it.

My #bookspin is a classic Japanese children's tale; my #doublespin just sounded fun for October!

Thanks as always to @thearomaofbooks for hosting!

I didn't love this but I liked it. It was simple and cozy, a very quick read. I'm not in a hurry to read the other books in the series but I'd like to eventually. Maybe once I'm fluent in Japanese (many many years from now) I could read the whole series in the original language 😇
