Books that inspired or are similar to Studio Ghibli films

An on-going attempt to track Asian authors in my Interested/TBR (and hopefully Finished) categories. Books are generally fiction/lit fic/fantasy with some memoirs. Authors span West to East Asia, the Asian diaspora, and mixed-race folx.

Literature that features cats, coffee shops, food, books, and sometimes a bit of magic. Cozy and healing.
