More books to read when you feel tired and lost 📚⛅️

Last month, I made a Lemon8 post recommending 4 healing fiction titles and I noticed a lot of people liked it!! 📚 So, I’m back with 4 more titles from similar genres. Some of these are sequels to books I’ve recommended before, so if you liked a particular author from that list, you’re in luck!

Here’s the list with a short description of each book:

1. More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop by Satoshi Yagisawa — A sequel to Days at the Morisaki Bookshop! Features a new cast of regulars and delves deeper into the magic of bookshops wrt community building. Def give this a read if you liked the first book and its protagonist!

2. I Want to D*e but I Still Want to Eat Tteokbokki by Baek Sehee — Also a sequel to Baek’s first book with a similar title. This book focuses on the author’s complex journey with mental health after the events of the first book and the new set of challenges she faces; I like that it examines how healing and recovery is rarely a linear process!!

3. Days of Distraction by Alexandra Chang — This novel follows a young Chinese-American woman as she navigates her personal identity, career frustrations, and relationships when she moves to a new state with her partner. (TLDR It’s giving quarter life crisis)

4. Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa — This is a book about social stigmas and the power of unexpected friendships! (an elderly woman in her 70s, a middle-aged man and a girl) The characters are well developed and written…plus the prose is beautiful. 😭😭

I hope these books are loved by you too 💌
