Hello, it's SoSo because I have a small book. It's all new to start YouTube and to read a book to someone. I hope it will be a meaningful starting line for you who are listening. Now, let's get started. The book I have brought today is The Shop that Sells Time. It's by Kim Seon-young, published by Changbi Publishers. Just like our labor that hasn't been stripped off, even as the dawn at 5 a.m. approaches, I haven't welcomed the morning yet or tasted a delicious lunch. I wanted to try giving that hope that walks on my path a chance. Recently, I read a book called The Shop Selling Time, which won the Youth Literature Award. From the moment it caught my eye before, I kept thinking I should read it, and finally, I started reading it this time.

Ultimately, I felt truly grateful to have this book. This book tells the story of Onjo's growth, starting with an incident involving a crop that occurred when the main character, Onjo, first entered a cafe run by Nono for part-time work. The reason I enjoyed this book so much is that there were many parts where I could empathize with the protagonist, who is a teenager like me. First of all, the book begins with Jo, who has a firefighter father, starting a part-time job to help his mother after his father passed away early. However, one day, tired of his part-time job, Onjo had a brilliant idea, namely to open a shop that sells time. What happens if you sell time when time is money? This thought led to the opening of the time-selling shop.

It is not about being a messenger who does what the dragon should do, but simply running a simple and warm store that seems grand but wakes up and operates. However, such a warm imagination is soon overshadowed by a huge incident entrusted to the hands of the temperature. In Joon's school, there was a dark incident a year ago, which was a friend in the same class as the client for the crop incident who stole another friend's MP3 player. The friend who stole the MP3 player chose to disappear from the school rooftop the next day due to guilt, a painful incident. On the day a similar incident occurred, Illy witnessed a classmate stealing someone else's PMP player and feared a repeat of the same situation. The client, worried about the same situation happening again, came back to retrieve the PMP player.

What originally came to mind was a failure, and in that situation, I contacted a store that sells my time while contemplating what to do. Onjo, who received the incident like a hot potato, tried to minimize it by meeting directly, but all claims were handled online. Furthermore, because it guaranteed anonymity, it became an impossible task to take on the case. However, amidst these unfortunate scenes, there were many hidden things, and Onjo uncovers these one by one, helping people, making it a heartwarming story. Reading this book, I initially had doubts about selling time, but as I read, I empathized with each section and started to ponder whether I am using my time well in urgent and precious moments. The challenges, spirit, heart, growth, and stories conveyed in the book are truly inspiring.

The characters empathize with each other, and to me, it feels like they are giving me a lot of advice as I read, which resonated with me. Thanks to that, I feel like I've had many worries, but also received help and enjoyed the book. It's a bit sad to close the last page. Let's finish today's book review here. Then, I hope you have a great week starting anew. Goodbye.
