The Door-to-Door Bookstore
Carsten Henn
The charming international bestseller about an elderly bookseller who delivers his recommendations door-to-door and an unlikely friendship with a nine-year-old girl that changes his life, for fans of The Midnight Library and A Man Called Ove. The bookseller Carl Christian Kollhoff delivers books to special customers in the evening hours after closing time, walking through the picturesque alleys of the city. These people are almost like friends to him, and he is their most important connection to the world. When Kollhoff unexpectedly loses his job, it takes the power of books and a nine-year-old girl to make them all find the courage to rebuild their bonds with each other. A bestselling phenomenon internationally, Carsten Henn’s The Door-to-Door Bookstore is a feel-good novel about books and friendship.
genuinely just need to say - this book has such good quotes it's such a good character study, but some of the ideas it gives about the importance of books and reading are so good and just some generally good advice - “It’s impossible to slurp ice cream with a stern expression.”

I'm going to go with 5 stars for now, but may go down to 4.75, but still. I am just so obsessed with this book. It was so cute, such a nice character study, so cosy, although got darker than I expected. The only reason it might go to 4.75 is the ending was quite unbelievable, but with the cosy vibes of the book, I did not care, and I was hoping for a happy ending, so I am so glad it got one.
