The Reading List explores themes of human connection, mental illness, bibliophilia, and the importance of libraries.

I got this book from a thrift store a while ago. I rarely buy books I've never heard of before, but this sounded interesting so I decided to pick it up. I'm really glad I did, because I liked it a lot! It didn't hook me in right away, I'm glad I kept on reading because it eventually picked up and I was entertained all the way through to the end! 

I loved the premise and the characters. This makes me want to write a reading list of my own, and also to spend more time at the library. 

If you like A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman and Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi, you will probably like this, it has similar vibes.

I'm so glad my sister recommended this to me and that it was readily available at the library. I loved it! I read it in about one or two sittings and immediately wanted to read the next book in the series. I have to wait, but once I get my chance, I'm taking it!

I love how the book blends cute-wholesomeness with darkness. The two main characters are great, both in art style and personality, and the beginning of the plot has me eager to keep reading. I hope the next book is as good as the first!
