Meet Emily who in her own words is as dopey as a potato. She has ditched her job as a Librarian in the US to go to Ireland and help her favorite author write the last book of her favorite childhood series.

Once in Ireland, Emily quickly meets the son of her favorite author and his bulging arms and deep eyes have her in full on giddy mode.

And so the romance begins

Average read.

I just started this tonight. So far, it's part history and part unabashed love letter to bookshops. Quite charming, and how could I resist that cover?

I had moments with this new (to me) cozy mystery series. I liked the premise, I enjou the basic premise but there were times when the writing really just didn't carry me along - unnecessary details, and judgements about the characters being the best example. Overall a good book, and I'll see how the second book goes before I make any long-term decisions.

A nonfiction account of the history of American bookstores. I loved that we start with Benjamin Franklin & continue until Barnes & Noble and Amazon change the landscape of bookshops. Along the way we learn about gay rights and black-owned shops that acted more like community hubs than a traditional store. I loved traveling to each new space and hearing their stories. If this doesn‘t want to make you support independents, I don‘t know what will.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was a slow, but truly fascinating, read. I dipped in / out for a few weeks, adsorbing this delve into American book store history. Readers should want to know this! I know my appreciation has grown. A huge “Thank You” to those who, no matter the capacity or circumstance, put books into our hands and brains.

PS. I especially loved the chapter on my local indie, the incredible Parnassus.
