pickAn informative and emotional history of one of my favorite indie bookstore: The King‘s English in Salt Lake City, Utah.
I grew up visiting this store, and it was a true delight to learn how it came to be and how it operates. I really appreciated reading of the difficulties they‘ve dealt with. And many big name authors have visited! Also many, many book lists to peruse and take notes on! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
pickI listened to this around the time of Independent Bookstore Day, & it got me in the mood for visiting the indies in my state. BTW, 5 of the indies in my general area did a bookstore crawl, such a good idea!
Really liked this book, enjoyed the history of bookshops, learned a lot (had no idea about the Nazi bookstores), & would love to visit some of the ones featured. Highly recommend

There is no in between in this survey, I had either never heard of the book or I had read the book and a lot of the ones I did read I didn‘t like. My collection of 1001 Books to Read Before You Die is very different. It was nice to see E M Forster, Evelyn Waugh, James Joyce, and Virginia Wolfe. Special shout out to The Charwoman‘s Daughter for making the list.
This is too funny. I thought that the 1700s would be my worst showing, and my scores would improve by the 1900s. But the 1700s were my best score, and they've gotten progressively worse. If I'm 100% honest, I don't know about some of these titles. 🫠 My only thought besides shame after this quiz is that I would like to read more Edith Wharton and Virginia Woolf. 😉😏😂
