I loved this! Fabulous characters, booksellers at the center, an unwanted ghost…. plus Louise herself being a side character! I loved spending time with Tookie and her families, both work and home. In a lesser writer‘s hands, there could have been too much to juggle, but not here. My third Erdrich and possibly my favorite… 💕 #authoramonth @Soubhiville #readharder2023 #pastprompt #setinabookstore #bn2023challenge #indigenousauthor

BarbaraBB I loved this book too. It‘s one that keeps lingering in my mind. 2y

Cortg Great job! I have never read this author and almost grabbed one of her books from a Little Free Library yesterday, but decided against it as I‘ve been trying to organize and get rid if stuff rather than bring it home right now 😩 2y

Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore: A Novel | Matthew Sullivan

pick

Enjoyable #mystery about why a young bookstore patron commits suicide in the bookstore, bequeathing his cut-up books to his favorite bookseller. A satisfying read, though a bit more depressing than I expected. 3.5⭐️ #SetInABookstore

MarriedtoMrT Agreed on that last sentence. 7y

mrozzz Definitely far more complicated than I had expected! 7y

Death by Coffee | Alex Erickson

Trying my first cozy for #booked2018 😬Expectations are low.....

Kalalalatja I do love all the bookish puns in the book description 😂 7y

batsy 😬 If this makes you want to throw it across the room... Might I recommend this book? It might not turn you in a cosy fan but I think the reading experience will be less painful 😂

Thus Was Adonis Murdered: Number 1 in Series

Mommamanzi This one is super cute! It‘s a little repetitive but still super cute haha. 7y

BarbaraBB 😂😂 Looks fabulous! I am going for

The Nine Tailors

Pamwurtzler I‘m with @batsy on this one. If you‘re looking for a coffee theme, there‘s this -

On What Grounds

Cinfhen Thanks @batsy @Pamwurtzler both your options sound better than mine, but it‘s a freebie and I‘m gonna try to stick with it for now🙄 7y

susanw You know how I felt about this one, but every readers different. Hope your experience is better than mine! 7y

merelybookish No suggestions but this post made me chuckle. 😂😂 7y

Reviewsbylola Um yeah. Im not sure I‘ll be a fan either. Maybe I‘ll start my cozy next too! 7y

melissanorr I didn't care for that one when I read it either. I've not had good luck with coffee themed cozies over the years. 7y

Cinfhen That's an interesting observation @melissanorr ☕️☕️☕️ I'm reading while rolling my eyes @Reviewsbylola @merelybookish @susanw 🙄🙄😬 7y

Reviewsbylola What made you pick this one? Did someone recommend it? I ended up choosing Cocaine Blues. I just read two chapters and I actually think I‘ll like it.

Cocaine Blues: A Phryne Fisher Mystery

Cinfhen It was available on #OverDrive @Reviewsbylola and it works for a #pop18 prompt too #setinabookstore 7y

Reviewsbylola Oh ok. Perfect then! I hope it gets better for you. 7y

Chocamanda If you find that you don't want to finish this one, check out the Agatha Raisin series. I'm a fan of cozies but that's the series I recommend to people who don't normally read them. Happy reading! 7y

minkyb It sounds like you are in pain! 😱 7y

Cinfhen Thanks @Chocamanda 😍it‘s honestly awful @minkyb but I‘m almost out of my misery 7y

alisiakae So I‘m not the only one that has been looking side-eyed at the cozy prompt. 😆😆😆 7y

Day 3: #seasonsreadings2016 #setinabookstore Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore is such a fun and interesting read...and it's set in a bookstore!! Intriguing characters and a fun story, what more could you ask for! (My kindle wouldn't give me the fun cover...just the cover page)

The Little Paris Bookshop: A Novel | Nina George

Catching up already. 😂 Despite my ambivalence toward this book, it really made me want to own a book barge-- on the Rhein, not the Seine. 😊 #seasonsreadings2016 #day3 #setinabookstore 📸 via: http://www.thebookbarge.com/

acorter @KCorter Can we somehow work this into our retirement plan? Please please please! 8y

BookBabe I'm with you on the Rhine idea! 🙌🏻 I had the pleasure of boating down it once, long ago. So beautiful. I liked this book too! 😊 8y

obviateit @BookBabe isn't it?? I spent a summer by the Rhein in 2005. I've wanted to go back ever since! A dream of Hubby's and mine was to open a bookstore in that area of Germany. Reading this book gave me the feeling that a book barge would be even better! 😍 8y

Dash & Lily's Book of Dares. Rachel Cohn & David Levithan | Rachel Cohn

#setinabookstore kind of! This book centers around Dash & Lily (of course.) Lily leaves a notebook full of dares on the bookshelf of her favorite book store in hopes that the perfect, mysterious guy will accept her offer. This book was so sweet, and definitely a perfect read for this time of year! I loved their adventure, and seeing them make their way through different parts of New York. #seasonsreadings2016

The King's English: Adventures of an Independent Bookseller | Betsy Burton
