pickI enjoyed this so much! It‘s sort of similar to The Language of Flowers, just set in the UK. I really liked getting to know the characters, especially since, in the beginning I didn‘t like them very much. The story is told in past and present by the main character, Loveday. It‘s a coming of age story with a lot of heart.
pickI probably would have passed this by but for the praise of several fellow booksellers! I‘m glad I gave it a try, listening to the audiobook on Libro.fm with my husband. This was way quirkier and twistier than I expected, and it charmed me! Nina‘s struggle to rise above her own anxiety, trust issues, and introversion really spoke to me and were written really realistically. You‘ll root for Nina till the end!
This book was perfect to loose yourself between the lines. I loved it!
pickWidowed by suicide, Pen moved to a small RI town to join her aunt in running a bookstore. A PI was killed in the store in the 40s, and his ghost is in residence. Pen investigates mysteries with his help, and the help of friends.
Trippy - Pen converses with the ghost, Jack, in her head. Jack can pull her into dreams of his creation, based on past cases, where they enact scenes. Pen appears to be forming an amorous relationship with a ghost. 🤔
I've heard such mixed reviews on this book, so I'm excited to see for myself what it's like. 🤓 I feel like Waxman can be overly cheesy to the point of eye rolls, but I tend to like her overall plotlines so it's hard for me to say whether I'm really a fan of her or not. 🤷🏼♀️
pickThe new quarter of Book Riot's MyTBR always sneaks up on me. To be able to leave my bibliologist some feedback, I grabbed this one on audiobook. I didn't love the narrator, and probably would have bailed on print, but I'm glad I kept listening. Finished in 1 work day - this is definitely a booklover's book. I laughed and cried and thoroughly enjoyed the literary references and A.J.'s rants. A nice, lighter read.
