An increasing number of bookstores in Japan are leasing out their shelves to book lovers to allow them to sell the works they want to recommend, fostering communities of such “shelf owners.”

“November comes
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.
With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.
The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring.”

Out walking in the fields with my cats yesterday, we saw 3 deer drinking in a beck before they all bounded over a fence into a woods. Magical!
