You run a mobile second-hand bookshop in the coastal town of Bookstonbury. Each day, choose where to set up and prepare your shop for the customers and reading habits found there.
Buy books to stock by genre, then decorate the shop with items that can influence customer behavior and sales. Customers browse and buy while some ask you to recommend a book that fits their tastes.
As you visit locations through the seasons, get to know local characters and help with their requests. Explore the town, take part in events, and collect items and stamps as you uncover more of its stories.
