great idea, great mechanics, lovely game :)
Relaxing, fun, silly, all of this describes the game. I enjoy that they have real books, and the characters are fun and interesting.
Truly one of the best cosy games, a perfect example of the genre and so wonderful
Cozy, story-rich, and has a diverse cast! A very nice game to wind down with and also got a lot of fun book recommendations out of it!
Fun! I haven't finished it yet and it definitely gets repetitive if you try to binge play it. This is the kinda game that you have to play for a little bit (an hour or two) and then come back a different day, to avoid getting tired of it. I LOVE that the books are all real! I'm also obsessed with the fact that "Alanna" by Tamora Pierce is included because I LOVE all of her books and have rarely seen anyone talk about them. I love the vibes of being a small used book seller. I wish I had this life.
Great game! Love the pacing and the different little story lines. Definitely adding some of the books to my own reading list.

Love the cozy low-stakes atmosphere. As you go, it does get more involved, but overall it's just an enjoyable experience.
