Tiny Bookshop made me want to change my career
What happened to that girl who saw herself as an aspiring author? As it turns out, she's still a part of me

The sun breaks through my trailer windows to signal the start of a fresh new day. I throw open the loading bay door, pop open the striped awning, and start setting out my numerous decorations. The Crimson Candelabra and Lanky Lantern are just for show and definitely not haunted. My shelves of books are organized by color-coded categories. I make sure to check the weather before choosing my location for the day. Then, I scan the classifieds section of the Bookstonbury Review for new books I can add to my inventory.
I’m confident that I can recommend the exact title that my visitors are looking for. At least most of the time. The seasons start to shift as I drive around in my mobile bookshop. I make time to chat with the locals and slowly find myself becoming entwined in their everyday lives. That’s how I spend my days in the picturesque seaside town where Tiny Bookshop takes place.
Playing Tiny Bookshop quickly became part of my nightly routine. Wash my face, brush my teeth, put on a face mask, and load my last save. Running a mobile bookshop is more than just managing your decor and book inventory. Much like bookish communities in real life, in Tiny Bookshop you connect with people through a shared love of reading.
