What You Are Looking for Is in the Library
by Michiko Aoyama
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I chose this book as part of the 2024 reading challenge for July, a book by an author born outside the Unites States, and it was also in the "New Fiction" area which I always peruse. This was an excellent read by the author who lives in Japan and who had this work translated. The chapters of the book were tales of life stories with life lessons and interconnections told in a very interesting, unique, and moving way. Every tale had a central figure, Mrs. Komachi. She was the local community center librarian with a penchant for felting and selecting just the right book for her patrons. Mrs. Komachi's felting materials were kept in a Honeydome cookie tin which was central to the book. I could continue to write more about how I liked this book, but suffice to say, it really made me think and reflect, and I will be looking for more books by this author if translated!

It is a really good poem book, and if you liked that, then you will also love one of his other books, Runny Babbit!

Boring and cringe worthy. I kept hoping that it would get better, but the whole plot was ridiculous and the main character was not relatable at all.

I love this book. The characters felt very real to me and I loved the connection between the mother and daughter. It illustrated that both parents and children can make mistakes in the relationship.

I wouldn’t recommend reading this one. I only liked the detectives character in this but I didn’t enjoy reading from all the different points of view.

My only complaint about this book, other than the amount of tissues I went through, was that while I was somewhat satisfied with the ending, it seemed somewhat abrupt in my opinion. Other than that, there was not one thing I didn’t absolutely love about this book. I fell in love with both the beautiful writing and lifelike characters. I sincerely hope this is the first of many books by this author because I found the writing both beautiful and profound. I particularly enjoyed the way the two storylines were beautifully interwoven. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone and won’t forget this book and it’s awesome cast of characters for a really long time!
