The Lending Library | 
so-soNothing earth-shattering in this story about a woman who turns her sun room into a library.
Dodie is at a crossroad in her life. She is single, wants a baby, and feels like she has a deadline to make motherhood happen.
The book was entertaining enough to keep me reading, but I doubt it will stick with me.

A teacher, books, & a lending library…fun read that I just started.
Giving this a “so-so”- almost bailed; got bored in parts-maybe I am too old for this! But still would not recommend to teens- too many better books out there.
When you have an artist friend to help you with your lending library sign 💕

Enjoying my holiday morning reading. Dodie is such a unique character that draws you in from page one.
A heartwarming debut novel about a daydreamer who gives her town, and herself, an amazing gift: a lending library in her sunroom.
bailedI don‘t think this is a bad book. In fact, I really enjoyed the first part. But then the main character began worrying about fertility issues, and that‘s a subject that hits too close to home. It started raising memories I just don‘t want to deal with right now. I might try it again another time when I‘m in a different frame of mind. I feel badly, because there was a lot I liked until then.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️ My first time actually reading a #kindlefirstreads. This is a solid chit-lit type, or women‘s fiction, if you prefer. Anywho, Dodie wants to help everyone around her, but doesn‘t know how to help herself OR what *she* wants in life .... until she does. Then, she‘s all-consumed, alienating those who care most deeply about her. This is a solid debut. And there are lots of book cameos! Loved the first line.
“”..did she have any idea of the burning urgency of reading for a book-loving child, how two weeks was a complete eternity without a new book to dive into?”
Oh, how I relate! I remember crying when my mom wouldn‘t take me back to the library because I‘d read all the books I had checked out that morning.
This was my choice from Kindle First Reads. First time I‘m trying this, but it‘s free with Prime. A free book, why not?
"I was holding the book innocently in my hands, like a normal library-goer. Which I was. Except for my overwhelmingly passionate desire to read books and reread them, hold them, surround myself with them, and yes...sometimes even smell them. It wasn‘t just the heady scent of glue in the spine. It was also the scent of the pages—timeworn or slicked with new ink—and the old cloth cases, how the linen had aged. The smell of imagination and escape."
