Two orders with worthing.in, two orders with bookchor.com, and now my fourth order with meesho.com… I’m going all out for gifting myself some books this year.
After buying Satoshi Yagisawa’s Days at the Morisaki Bookshop and More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop, Meesho kept prompting me to buy “Before the Coffee Gets Cold” series by Toshikazu Kawaguchi: the first five books.
- Before the Coffee Gets Cold (2015)
- Tales from the Cafe (2020)
- Before Your Memory Fades (2018)
- Before We Say Goodbye (2021)
- Before We Forget Kindness (2024)
It was for Rs 318, and I was like, sure, why not.
5 Books
Price: Rs 318
Discount: Rs 24 (Online Payment Discount)
Final Price: Rs 294
Per Book: Rs 59

Promised vs Real
The condition of the books is kinda mix bag. Covers are okay, one of the covers was too shiny, pages are also okay but the print is faded on some pages (a lot of pages).
Also, the genre of this is not really my favourite but… it was an impulse buy I am not proud of.
Final Thoughts
I have two more orders with Meesho and then I am done. I really need to retrospect what I have done this month in the name of “Buying books for mysele because my birthday is coming up.”
Until next time, happy reading!
