Fictional Bookstores That I Love Vol.2
Since I’ve seen so many bookstores in my life that I want to visit, why not share some of my favorite fictional bookstores with you. Here are some memorable ones I wish were real!
Unamed Bookstore – Bookshops & Bonedust
Bookshops & Bonedust focuses on Viv’s discovery of an intriguing little bookshop by the sea and her newfound love of reading. The bookstore’s owner Fern and her vibrant gryphet named Potroast (who is too cute for words) are fun and memorable characters that Viv becomes acquainted with. The bookstore may be small, but cozy and a bonus is that it’s located by the seaside.
Morisaki Bookshop – Days the Morisaki Bookshop
Most books about books are about characters who are fascinated with reading already, but where this novel differs is that the main character Takako finds joy through working at the Morisaki Bookshop. This novel is definitely an ode to the reader as it discusses the power of a book and how the story can transport you anywhere and give you purpose. This used book store may be filled to the brims with used books, but readers are sure to find a novel that is difficult to track down. I love the old book smell of used book shops and would definitely give this book shop a visit.
Books & Biscuits – Books & Biscuits Mystery Series
I love cozy mysteries especially when they are themed around book stores and Books & Biscuits is bookstore and soul-food café. Food and books?! What could be better. Their menu is full of some of my favorite dishes and they have a lot of variety of books to choose from too. I love a good café spot I can chill in and read.
Kingyo Used Books
Kingyo Used Books is a manga about a manga shop, the people who work there, and customers that visit there. Interwoven into the book are themes of life and self discovery in each little story. While it’s a manga about daily life it shows how love of manga can bring people together. I don’t have any shops near me that just sell manga and only magna, so traveling to this shop would be dream for me. I feel like bookstores that specialize in manga always carry very unique and hard to find titles.
What fictional bookstores would you like to visit? Let me know in the comments below.
I liked the way her room is described in the Morisaki bookshop and how oblivious she is to the surroundings when she first arrives but, then, how her perspective changes. Who wouldn’t want to sleep in a bookstore! (Well, ok, mold allergies, dust allergies, but whatevs.)
Yeah same here. It did need a bit of cleaning for sure,lol.
