so-soI had moments with this new (to me) cozy mystery series. I liked the premise, I enjou the basic premise but there were times when the writing really just didn't carry me along - unnecessary details, and judgements about the characters being the best example. Overall a good book, and I'll see how the second book goes before I make any long-term decisions.
pickA nonfiction account of the history of American bookstores. I loved that we start with Benjamin Franklin & continue until Barnes & Noble and Amazon change the landscape of bookshops. Along the way we learn about gay rights and black-owned shops that acted more like community hubs than a traditional store. I loved traveling to each new space and hearing their stories. If this doesn‘t want to make you support independents, I don‘t know what will.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was a slow, but truly fascinating, read. I dipped in / out for a few weeks, adsorbing this delve into American book store history. Readers should want to know this! I know my appreciation has grown. A huge “Thank You” to those who, no matter the capacity or circumstance, put books into our hands and brains.
PS. I especially loved the chapter on my local indie, the incredible Parnassus.

so-soI requested this #audiobook from the library based on the title and cover alone, but quickly began feeling like it was going to be my first DNF title of the year. I didn't love the male narrator and I went back and forth for a while on whether to continue with the book or not. The story turned out to be mildly cute; however, I would not necessarily recommend it. ⭐⭐⭐
