so-soLiked book 1 a bit more than this book. Beginning seemed slow, once Tilly and Oskar wander into the fairy tales it picked up the story. Middle grade read. Wandering though if this keeps the attention of these readers?

pickI really enjoyed this one. I feel like I picked it up on a whim (I think it was in a used books bin), and well, I am glad I did. I really enjoyed the story and how it unfolded.

pickI inhaled this on audio - the perfect book to listen to while I tackle chores and be lazy on a Monday
Violet is in jail for vehicular manslaughter and belongs to a book club, we meet all the book club members, the volunteer running bookclub and learn all their stories while they connect to the books they read
My latest on audio, I have this Monday to myself and a massively long list of To Dos that may or may not get tackled cuz it‘s going to feel like 32° today #lastblastofsummer
October BOTM picks are live!
What are we thinking?!
I was hoping for more spooky options!
pickThere's so many big concepts to discuss in this one; perfect for a book club. Violet is a recently released prisoner struggling with guilt and grief. Harriet is a widowed woman who leads a prison book club. Frank is a widower attempting to move on to a new future. The concept of forgiveness is a big one. Also, I kept thinking about the motherless daughters in the book: Sophie, Kristy, and Violet. Each one struggles with grief in a different way.
pickThis book is told from the point of view of 3 characters, Opaline, Martha and Henry. The chapters alternate between all 3. Opaline in the past, Martha and Henry in the present. I liked all 3 stories and enjoyed reading them. Opaline's made me the most furious with the injustices done to her. At the end of the book all 3 stories converge. There was a bit of magicalness in the lost bookshop that made the book more fun. This was a pleasant book.
allons à la librairie,
se perdre dans un bon livre —
nourriture pour ton âme.
let‘s go to the bookstore,
get lost in a good book —
food for your soul. ?

pickNot getting much reading done at the moment as life is a bit busy blowing me off track!
Anyway, finished this yesterday and loved it. Wish I‘d have been in the position to visit Silver Moon when it was open.
Used one of my Boudicca bookmarks as these women were modern day warriors!
