The Bookseller: The First Hugo Marston Novel | 
Just received my Bookpeople-in-a-box today with two surprises inside. The BookPeople booksellers made a great selection for me with two books 📚 I haven't read. I look forward to putting my feet up and digging into them. 💕

pickI found this while searching for books set in France that aren't centered around WWI or WWII. I loved it! It's the first Hugo Marston thrillers/mysteries. When Hugo's friend Max is kidnapped, Hugo sets out to find those responsible.

pickI really enjoyed this book. An ex FBI agent works for the U.S. embassy in France. A friend/bookseller appears to be kidnapped and turns up dead after selling him two books. Were the books why he died? Is his new girlfriend‘s father involved? So many questions to answer! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Listening to this and loving it. The narrator sounds like a 1950‘s news reporter.
pick4🌟 this is the first book in the series. Hugo Marston is head of security at the Paris embassy. His bookseller friend is missing; add a book with secrets, a tough newspaper reporter, a retired CIA officer friend and you have a very good book

@gradcat @Andrew65 @EadieB @Tove_Reads have you read this series? I just got the first book and am just putting it out there as a possibility for future?
My books are here! What a lovely sight!
Look at this cute little indie bookstore I discovered in Royal Oak! 😍📚
What a nice story!

Book shopping at Powell‘s today. You know you are in trouble when the first six books in your basket are not on your carefully crafted list. A couple new to me books/authors and a few #blameitonlitsy. Plus two new ones from the Audible sale. I may have a small problem!
Have had some crazy weeks but I am almost done with this book. It's been way too long, need some encouragement to keep going the last 61 pages.
I couldn‘t resist taking a picture of this store, unfortunately, it was closed. #bookstore #bookshop #booknerd #bookaddiction.
Has anyone here read The Bookseller by Mark Pryor? I am considering it as a next read
I took a laundry basket of books to the store yesterday to trade for credit. Then I spent it. 🤣😂 #noselfcontrol #bookhaul #part1
Say it isn't so! Regardless of how you feel about B&N, closure would bankrupt communities of a book store in many cases and I can't imagine a world without a bookstore. https://www.bookstr.com/barnes-noble-danger
In Baltimore and hubs had a surprise for @lizzlehuff and I before lunch. A B&N in a converted power plant. Spent almost as much time looking at the building as I did books.
Conference hotel had this cute pillow in the nicely cozy lounge/lobby!
Stop tempting me Book Outlet!!!!!
I have been stood up twice by a woman who was supposed to come to my house to pick up some books. I am thinking about sending her this helpful template which she can use in the future. Too much? Or not enough?
School was having a sale today. Didn‘t find anything I needed but there were some very pretty older books.
• I‘m about 95% confident in my choices! •

pickParis and the booksellers on the banks of the Seine? What's not to like? Interesting characters as well. A perfect read for January. 👍
Boxing Day shopping at the #BookOutlet store! I made it out spending only $51 CDN!
Book Outlet is having a Boxing Day sale and this link should give you an additional $10 off if this is your first purchase https://goo.gl/nLH9dS 👌
pickA retired FBI agent working for the US Embassy in Paris (sigh!) uncovers a gang of Romanian drug dealers when a bouquinistes, isn‘t my command of the French language impressive😉, is kidnapped. The city plays a wonderful background to these two stories. It is all very intriguing. Book #2 is on my TBR list.
Got myself a little book haul today! I was originally planning on getting a winter coat at my local thrift store, but their selection was very bad; either they were too big or they looked too weird. Anyway, I figured I might as well buy something while I was there. Are any of these good? Also, I just noticed that Dark Places is the third book, so I might need to buy Sharp Objects.

#TBRtemptation post 2! The first in the Hugo Marston series. Max, an elderly Paris bookstall owner, is abducted at gunpoint. His US embassy friend, Hugo, enlists Tom, a CIA agent, for help. Turns out, Max was a Nazi hunter. Then, as gang wars ramp up in the city, other booksellers disappear and are found dead. Then Max becomes a target of the unknown assassin(s). The race is on for Max and Tom to solve this thing fast. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
Breakfast and decisions - what to read next...
The recently remodeled Breakwater Books. Looks great! #shopindie
Goodreads posted this and I cracked up.
I'm really enjoying this one. Has anyone else read this?
In the parking lot to go pick up dinner, my truck absolutely refused to drive past the #usedbookstore clearance sale. Everything is $.50!! 😍😍 Starving, but I don't even care. I'm settling in for a good long trip. #blamethetruck
In another era, Emma would have been described as handsome, and it would have been a compliment. In her late fifties, she had the erect posture and even features that gave her a timeless appeal.
================================
Her appearance sparked off my enjoyment of this book...
And the introduction to bouquinistes has left me fascinated with this breed of booksellers!

I am one of those who cannot resist bookish titles... I thought the crime thrill will be interesting. However it feels SO SLOW although action has picked up. Well I have other titles to entertain while I plough through these pages
Has anyone read this book or series? It's making the rounds at our library but sort of came out of left field.
Aaaand the mother load. #getindie #Thestrand
so-soParis. The booksellers "bouquistes" who sell from stalls along the Seine, antique books and secret messages within the book pages, all made for a great read. Always pick up a book with bookseller, bookshop or bookstore in title. There was a lull in the book action but the conclusion was exciting.
Reading this one again and remembering why I love Pryor's Hugo Marston character so much!
First in a series. Paris and booksellers what could be better???
