A ginger cat sleeps on the counter of a bookshop where every shelf holds a story, and every story has a reader waiting.Marmalade is not just a shop cat. He is a curator, a selector, a quiet matchmaker between readers and the books they need. He sits on the counter all day, watching customers browse, and somehow knows exactly which shelf holds the right book for each person who walks through the door. The lonely student gets nudged toward poetry. The grieving widow finds herself holding a memoir about loss. The restless child discovers an adventure novel. Marmalade cannot read, but he understands something deeper - that every person who enters the shop is looking for a mirror, a window, or a door.CHAPTERS00:00 The Bookshop on the Corner02:30 Marmalade's Counter05:00 The Curator's Instinct08:00 Books for Lonely Students11:30 Pages for the Grieving14:30 Adventures for Restless Hearts17:00 The Mirror in Every Book19:30 The Cat Who UnderstoodA cozy, cat-curled story about the magic of bookshops, the wisdom of animals, and the books that find us when we need them most.
