Anna40 I loved your video! Fantastic recommendations. I‘ve not heard or ready any of the books. I love that you mentioned the translators as well! … I think you drive a boat but I‘m not sure either 🤓 2y

This was a cute and quick read about the day to day in a spontaneously acquired book shop in Vienna. Lots of downs but also ups and tons of cute anecdotes.
How did you like it?

Reviews call this ‘a book like a cosy blanket‘. Alrighty, I‘m in, even if it should turn out to be a bit fluff. ;) It‘s a German publication that isn‘t out in English yet but maybe @Sarah83 @julesG @Maike are interested?

julesG So it's by a German author? 6y
scripturient @julesG Yes. The story takes place in Hamburg and on Spiekeroog. 6y

A book about a bookstore and the wool blanket I crocheted this year. Three of my favorite things at once. 😍⠀

Chrissyreadit Wow! The blanket is beautiful! You are very talented! 6y
julesG The blanket is superb! Did you use a pattern? If so, which one? I'm always uninspired and just crochet a large rectangle with no pattern and then I'm disappointed at the outcome. 🙈 6y
RaimeyGallant The blanket is so beautiful! 6y

ReadZenRites Wow! That blanket! 🤩🤩 6y
Eki @Chrissyreadit Thank you. 6y
Eki @julesG I did use a pattern, I am pretty new to crocheting, so I didn‘t even know most of the stitches existed before I made this blanket.😄 It‘s the Sophies Universe Blanket. 6y
Eki @RaimeyGallant Thank you. 6y
Eki @ReadZenRites Thanks. Exactly what I thought as I saw someone else crocheting it. 😀 6y
julesG Ha, that's exactly the pattern I thought it was. I'm tempted to make this blanket myself. 6y

I usually avoid memoir and books-about-books like the plague, but this memoir about a bookshop on a boat was wonderful. Sarah Henshaw's writing is by turns pee-my-pants funny, reflective, and moving. I loved this spunky young woman, her less-than-shipshape business and her personal foibles: I bet you will too. I could've done with a little less about the boating side of her adventure, but virtually all of this was engaging.

Reggie Do mine eyes deceive me? A pick and not a bail? Lol awesome man!!!! 8y
shawnmooney @Reggie Indeed - my second five-star review in the last few days! 8y
LeahBergen See? I will covert you into a "books about books" lover yet! ? 8y
