The Cat Who Saved Books
From the #1 bestselling author in Japan comes a cozy, heartwarming fantasy―a celebration of books, cats, and the people who love them, infused with the spirit of The Guest Cat and The Travelling Cat Chronicles.
Bookish high school student Rintaro Natsuki is about to close the secondhand bookstore he inherited from his beloved bookworm grandfather. Then, a talking cat appears with an unusual request. The feline asks for—or rather, demands—the teenager’s help in saving books with him. The world is full of lonely books left unread and unloved, and the cat and Rintaro must liberate them from their neglectful owners.
Their mission sends this odd couple on an amazing fantasy adventure, where they enter different mazes to set books free. Through their travels, the cat and Rintaro meet a man who leaves his books to perish on a bookshelf, an unwitting book torturer who cuts the pages of books into snippets to help people speed read, and a publishing drone who only wants to create bestsellers. Their adventures culminate in one final, unforgettable challenge—the last maze that awaits leads Rintaro down a realm only the bravest dare enter . . .
An enthralling tale of books, first love, and coming of age, The Cat Who Saved Books is a story for those for whom books are so much more than words on paper.

Cozy Pairings
Book of Spells is a deep and atmospheric fragrance that blends the richness of dark chocolate with smooth sandalwood and the earthy depth of black tea. Warm and layered, this scent carries a subtle dryness reminiscent of aged pages, balanced by a soft, lingering sweetness. The result is a fragrance that feels both grounding and slightly unexpected, with a warmth that settles gently into the space. Rich without being heavy, it creates an inviting, bookish atmosphere that lingers beautifully in the air.
Why we chose this: A bookish teenager inherits his grandfather's secondhand bookstore, and a demanding talking cat arrives to recruit him on a mission to liberate unloved books from their neglectful owners. Book of Spells carries the deep, atmospheric bookishness of a story where books are so much more than words on paper, dark chocolate and warm sandalwood and the earthy depth of black tea that smells like a secondhand shop full of stories waiting to be found. Light this candle as Rintaro and the cat set off into their first maze, and let the warmth fill the room like a bookstore that smells like every book you have ever loved.
