Last week I told you that I had bought a beautiful new book, “What you are looking for is in the library’ by Michiko Aoyama, and I have just finished it. It has been an absolute joy. I wholeheartedly recommend it as a relief in these difficult times. It’s a bit of magic in a troubled world.
Here is a short poem which I really love taken from the story:
I like to wear fingerless gloves at choir so that I stay warm but can still hold the words when I need them. I bought some new ones but although very cosy, they were very boring so I have embroidered them to make them pretty.

What a great idea for the gloves.

I hope it gives you the joy it has given me. It’s good to be smiling over and over again in the course of reading a novel. I’d love to know what you think. 🙂

I’ll let you know. It won’t arrive for a few days. I ordered, not from Amazon which would be quicker, but from an independent book seller.

I don’t use Amazon either. I order from bookshop.org who give a little to a local independent for each purchase. 🙂
