My Bookshop Dreams

The aging owner of the beloved neighborhood bookshop you grew up in has fallen ill. You take a gamble on life and decide to embrace your love for books and also help him fight the battle. You quit your city job and decide to do this full time, now, it's up to you to rebuild, reimagine the space and also help the owner with his mounting amount of hospital and other bills, while staying afloat yourself.

Manage your bookshop, earn money, nurture rising authors, host community showcases, and as your store's reputation grows, invite literary legends. Expand across cities and maybe, one day, open branches on different cities.
