I started reading this memoir, again. My second time reading this. Or is it a third time? 🤔 Anyway, I enjoy this author's take on books and bookstores.

Well this is unfortunate. Looks like pgs.197-198 got caught in a machine at some point.

I bought this for my dad's girlfriend and she loved it so much that she lent it to me and I really struggled with it 🫣It just feels like the author wants to share her views on running a library, share quotes from her favourite books and recommend movies and series. There's a bit of philosophy buried there about how the harmful capitalist views on work ethics make us unhappy, but it's all thrown there without much of a story or characters ⬇️

nanuska_153 well drawn behind it. Even the romance (?) seems unconvincing because the author took no time to develop it as a story. All the book feels like a bunch of things that she wanted to mention 2d

I‘m not sure how I feel about this one. I was really intrigued, but it‘s slow going with not much about the shop halfway through. I also struggle with the DV subplot. Thoughts? Worth sticking out? I only see good reviews on here.

xicanti I liked it, but I think if you‘re not hooked by halfway in, you‘re safe to bail. 1w
Aims42 Totally agree with @xicanti - I finished it but afterwards really felt like I could‘ve bailed and been just as happy lol My friend read it and loved it, so might be a “mood read” 😊 1w

Picked up my order at River City Books in Soldotna, Alaska. Got “trapped” inside the bookstore by a mama moose and her twins munching on the plants right outside the door. (Is it really “trapped” when it‘s a bookstore? 🤣). I hope to start it tonight.

pyjamaviking Thank you for the summer card! I can‘t believe you saw a moose! 🙂(Mel in the UK) 4d

Went to the used bookstore yesterday to drop off some books and Jace insisted on coming with to see Willa, the bookstore kitty. Willa is so chill and laid back. All of my favorite things in one place!

My favorite things —
books and cats and cats and books,
and this little guy.

I must confess, I borrowed this from Libby under the impression that it was going to be a cozy fantasy novel (I was looking for Isabelle Nagg and the pot of basil) BUT in some respects this worked out very well because this was completely delightful and I probably would have passed it by if I‘d stopped to read the blurb.

This is a collection of anecdotes from Oliver‘s time working as a antiquarian bookseller in London.

BooksandCoffee4Me Oooooh, I‘m going to add it! 2w
