Welcome to Litsy!

1. If there is nothing I β€˜need‘ to read ( book clubs, Litsy reads) then I am trying to read off my TBR because it‘s honestly out of control! 2. I have to read before bed otherwise I love a quiet house when I‘m not at work and everyone else is busy and that is today

He would never have believed it if you‘d told him a year ago. That he‘d be standing in an empty shop with a baby in a pram, seriously considering putting in an offer.

Beautiful cozy story. Lovable characters. Love in a lovely place. Read it!

Halfway through. It‘s a quiet, meandering story about a village where the bookshop owner has just died and how the people whose lives he was part of, including his daughter, carry on. He made time to make their lives richer and believed there a book for everybody. Told with some flashbacks.

An impromptu trip to a local indie bookstore!

2.5 ⭐️ for my March #doublespin…this was cute, some Love, Actually vibes. I felt there were a few too many characters to keep track of. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

I loved this beautiful, gentle story. It‘s an easy read, in the best sense. A beautiful setting, relatable characters, and various plot lines that all come together in the bookshop. It was just the book I needed to read.

I finished the book I had just started when my #swoonathon swap package came, so I‘m just now starting this, and realized I had missed this oh, so appropriate bookmark! Thanks again, @MoonWitch94 😘

Thank you so much @MoonWitch94 for this incredibly generous #swoonathon box! I can‘t wait to read all of these. I love all the β€œgoodies” and the candy made it to South Florida without melting. I hope you‘re applying self-care to yourself, too. Glad it finally made it, and I hope things are going better for you.

Thank you for the very generous #swoonathon swap package @Ddzmini ! All the Hawaiian items like the postcards and bookmarks make me want to go even more now! The other bookmarks are so pretty and delicate! I've never tried that Toblerone flavor and the books look interesting! @MidnightBookGirl @kimmypete1

You know those books where you finish and you‘re just sad because you want to stay with the characters, the setting, the story? This was one of those for me! I stumbled upon it in my local library while looking for books by an author with same last name, and I am so glad I did! It was just lovely.

As they came into Peasebrook, Marlowe stopped the car just on the hump of the bridge, and Emilia looked at Nightingale Books, the light from the windows still glowing inside, the roof already covered in white, and in her mind she said Merry Christmas, Dad, and then the car rumbled down the other side of the bridge and up the high street into the oncoming snow.

This was charming! I liked all the characters (except one or two side characters we're not supposed to like) and I was so in need of a book with multiple happy endings so this really filled the bill!

Another book chosen for a book challenge, the How To category! I loved all of the characters and how they were woven around each other. I‘ve dreamed of owning a bookshop and this book made me want it even more. Book #60 in 2021

This is a sweet, simple book. It can be a bit cheesy, but it will soothe your soul. Grab this book if you like romance novels, books about books, and/or need an easy, predictable read.

After a long day of troubleshooting issues with an event i am planning, this was a welcome way to decompress.

Went to my favorite bookstore in the city. Walked out with some new books. My TBR and CR shelf is a bit ridiculous, and I love it.

Couldn‘t remember if I‘d read already, so I read it again. So lovely (how could I have forgotten!)

I‘ve read 3 similar versions of this book and I‘ve enjoyed them all.

This was the delightfully soothing balm my soul needed this week. Sure it‘s a bit twee but I really did not care. I want to live in the fictional town of Peasebrook forever. Genuinely heartwarming.

1️⃣ My parents paid for half my college education, and my Father co-signed my student loans. How can that not be the greatest gift?
2️⃣ My Mom for sure πŸ“š
3️⃣ I get to be in charge of cultivating the talent, confidence, and passion my students have for theatre. I get to be my favorite teachers! Such a trip!

Considering I have a mini book haul coming from B&N and a large book haul from Book Outlet on the way, I don't need more books but this looks adorable! Price should be the same if you prefer Kobo, Apple, or Google books, too!

My review of this book is on my blog. Come check it out. https://wwwjustagirlkindleing.blogspot.com/

My only issue with this book is I would have liked to focus in on some of the characters more but overall I really enjoyed it! Especially Emilia‘s journey with her father‘s bookshop!

Oh I loved this charming book!!

2nd book finished for #Easterextravaganza @Andrew65

Happy Saturday! Trying to read but Frankie is crazy this morning. Have a good reading day!

There were so many little stories all woven around this quaint little bookstore. I really enjoyed reading how the shop owner touched so many lives in community.

Finished! A really enjoyable book. It‘s not literary fiction and it doesn‘t need to be. The strands were perhaps a bit *too* neatly wrapped up in the end, and the Alice strand was . . . πŸ€”, but all in all it was just what I needed. Now I need to choose to finish the Peter May (love his books) or pick another from one of my stacks. Maybe the Wallis.

Still really enjoying this book. Many threads, and while I‘m reasonably sure we‘ll have a happy ending, the characters are appealing and the setting is lovely. A bookshop in the Cotswolds? I mean. Having a cup of tea and watching some classic tennis. Vamos Rafa! #QuarantineReads

A book about bookshops. How could I NOT read it?!??? I started it today; on page 70 already. I took a break as I didn‘t want to read it *too* quickly. It‘s lovely so far.

An enjoyable read about:
πŸ”Ήbooks
πŸ”Ήsaving a bookstore
πŸ”Ήa community of book lovers
πŸ”Ήthe bonds a shared love of books creates

Emilia wants to save her father‘s bookshop, but it‘s hemorrhaging money. Friends, customers, and the town pull together to save the store. A loving tribute to the power of books and a shared love of reading. There‘s a book for everyone, you just have to find it.

#litsylove2020challenge - I wished everyone a Happy Valentine‘s Day

Not a bad little read! Seemed a little scattered but it came together nicely in the end.

Loved it! A book about books and finding love... right up my alley. Sweet, heartwarming book about love, loss, taking chances, giving second chances, and a community that loves and supports each other. #Book2of2020

Up next!

Emilia inherits her father‘s bookstore after his death and struggles to deal with her grief while keeping the bookstore open. It becomes the heart of the community and everyone who meets there gets a happy ending.

If you enjoy books about books/bookstores, check out this little gem. Utterly sweet and charming.

The first 2 chapters drew me in and I loved the story. There were about 6 character POV told and my favorite character was Julius. This is a nice light read.
