mine too! there's nothing better than books about books and then you add in some magic? impeccable!
rags, i love your genius mind đ„č safe, bookish spaces in books are top tier
I love this list!!!! Potential adds might (heavy on might, this list is great) include: Days at the Morisaki Bookshop (maybe - we're whimsical but not strictly magical), The Midnight Library (perhaps - our books are not strictly books after all), A Discovery of Witches, Secrets of the Catalogue
OHHH YES DAYS AT THE MORISAKI BOOKSHOP
that one, plus The Cat Who Saved Books

i actually have this book loaded on my ereader, thank you so much for the reminder that i should read it lmao! added it to this list as well!!
awesome (and thank you!) it is so charming, and I think it should be magical enough for the purposes of this list (as opposed to something like Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop, which is WONDERFUL but probably not magical enough)
yesyesyes!

okay so i was heavily debating adding Morisaki Bookshop when first making this-is there any magic at all or is it just whimsical vibes? also debating Midnight Library for the same reason, though i was kinda let down by the library in that book, so thatâs a bit of why i didnât add it. i added the other two recs though, thank you!
Yeah I for sure get those reasons haha. For a second I thought I was maybe remembering some light, winking magic in Morisaki but no, I was thinking of We'll Prescribe You a Cat lol. And yeah, I def get Midnight Library not being the right fit either :)
