January BOTM picks are live!

What are we thinking?!

AmyG I skipped because I have so many books on my pile. But I would have picked Andromeda. 12h

Sace I was torn between Andromeda and A Killing Cold and went with A Killing Cold. I think I was a little scared of the “highbrow” and “cerebral” descriptors. 11h

bookish_wookish Im also thinking of skipping @AmyG 11h

bookish_wookish None of them are jumping out at me! @Sace 11h

Sace That was me last month. I skipped December. 11h

The Lost Bookshop | Evie Woods

4th book read November 2024

Another book read for #CBBC Another gorgeous cover.

I enjoyed this story. Dual timelines about this hidden bookstore and a possible “lost manuscript “ by Bronte. However, this story has magical realism which is not my thing and sometimes I have difficulty to interpret it. But there is a character related with this literary “technical? Style? Which I liked. I liked the mystery,and characters. ⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) However, the execution or how some things were resolved were so easy, opportunistic unreal that I think took away the magic of the story. But in general I enjoyed it. 3⭐️ 2d

Another holiday book winner! I finished this one last night with It‘s a Wonderful Life on in the background. I loved this story of a struggling bookshop and what happens when the owners send books to locals who need a pick me up. It has some Christmas magic and felt very much like a Jenny Colgan book. I really enjoyed it. Thanks to @OriginalCyn620 for the recommendation!

OriginalCyn620 Yay! Glad you liked it! 6d

MallenNC @OriginalCyn620 It was really sweet! And I might read one of the books mentioned in it for that PS prompt. 6d

OriginalCyn620 @MallenNC Great idea! 6d

What a wild ride that was! And exactly what I needed when I needed it most. The writing was poignant and snicker or pause to take in the beauty. I loved the characters and will read more from this author. It was as magical as it promised.

Elementary, She Read: A Sherlock Holmes Bookshop Mystery | Vicki Delany

pick

Vicki Delany mysteries are a guilty pleasure for me. They're somewhat formulaic but always cozy and relaxing reads. This is the first in her series featuring the owner of a Sherlockian bookstore.
