Hello Everyone and Welcome to my Bookshop!
Fifteen years ago... Wow! I can't believe it has been fifteen years! Anywhosit, fifteen years ago I read my first Haruki Murakami novel, Kafka on the Shore and I was hooked. The following years I fell in love with Asian literature. It became my passion.
Last year my husband and I (both reading and writing teachers) decided to open a bookshop. At first I was skeptical because it seemed like such a big undertaking, but the more I researched the more comfortable I became. However, I struggled to decide what kind of books we would carry. You see, my husband and I LOVE books. We are THOSE people who are constantly adding shelves in our home to accommodate our love for the physical copy of words that transport us to new worlds.
It was one night last month that I was reading The Vegetarian by Han Kang that it occurred to me that I had, in fact, always known what my bookstore should be. That was that. The next day I contacted my distributor about my decision, and, just like that, he and I began gathering titles of books that could be included, and here it is.
The list will continue to grow, with your help, but I feel this is a good start.
I sincerely hope that you enjoy the website, the books, and the community I hope to build. Thanks to Haruki Murakami, I find myself here, and I couldn't be happier!
