Currently reading: 本を守ろうとする猫の話

For March I'm reading the novel 本を守ろうとする猫の話 by 夏川草介（なつかわ そうすけ）. The prologue introduced our main character, Rintarō, who was raised by his grandfather and who is currently dealing with the death of that same grandfather.

As Rintarō is still coming to terms with his loss and considering his options on what to do regarding his grandfather's beloved antique bookstore, the titular cat appears to take him to another world and save the books.

From what I've read so far, I was strongly reminded of the typical story structure of a Ghibli film. From the young protagonist to the talking cat to the journey to another world, it ticks all the boxes so far and I'm intrigued.

月と珊瑚　（つきとさんご）by 上條さなえ

I saw this book at BookOff for 300¥ and decided to get it because it seems simple enough to read and focuses on Okinawa.
