19. I signed up for this month's Shelf Awareness at the library

Dec 19

and I got a book called If Cats Disappeared From the World by Genki Kawamura. I've only read a few pages so far, but it's holding my interest.

For those who don't know (I've mentioned this before, but new people read posts all the time) a different topic is selected every month for Shelf Awareness and when you sign up, you get a book of the library's choosing, plus a little something extra, like a crossword puzzle or a mini-bag of cookies or a package of cocoa
mix. This month's selections are shorter books with a big impact. Apparently this book was an international bestseller. I never heard of it before.
