I'm trying to claw my way out of a reading slump, so I went for a little stroll in the library. Went home with The Cat Who Saved Books by Sosuke Natsukawa and A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. I needed something not too overwhelming.
I've started on The Cat Who Saved Books. It's about a high school kid who has inherited his grandfather's bookshop, which he is then planning to sell. A cat shows up and demands his help with saving some books that are trapped.
To be honest, I didn't know what the books were about when I picked them up, so I can't say much about A Monster Calls at this moment. I've heard good things about the author and I digged the illustrations.
