Anyone who's in a reading slump should try at least one of the growing collection of healing titles out there. Pithy, packed with feel-good vibes, and small enough to be finished in one sitting, these novels - most of which are translated works from Korean or Japanese - can eb helpful in easing one back into regular reading. With few clues as to a slowdown in new releases, at least for now, one is also not starved for choice.
Some may decry how formulaic such books are, but one thing about that is how reliable they are, like a much0-needed pick-me-up from a convenience store. Which is why Kim Ho-yeon's The Second Chance Convenience Store may push you back to your cobwebbed TBR pile - and perhaps more.
