librarianpick

Next month‘s #ReadWithMrBook is choosing a boom recommended by a bookseller or a librarian. @Cinfhen graciously asked me for some recommendations. I pulled 12 titles from my collection that I found highly enjoyable...most are perfect distraction reading. I‘ll tag the books in the comments below, with a very brief reason for the pick.

Feel fre to ask me for suggestions or to take a look at any of my pick reviews! Happy to help! #LibrarianPick

Librarybelle Sorry for #Zeke ‘s tail! He refused to move for the shot! #catsoflitsy 5y

Librarybelle A very thorough, yet highly readable bio on Queen Victoria

Victoria: The Queen: An Intimate Biography of the Woman Who Ruled an Empire

Librarybelle Because, of course Jane is a super sleuth and can solve a murder. First in the series:

Jane and the Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor: Being the First Jane Austen Mystery

Librarybelle My favorite Christie. I‘ve reread it countless times, and the conclusion still gets me:

And Then There Were None

Librarybelle Cozy mysteries are the perfect distraction for me. This is the first in a series featuring a librarian in a lighthouse, and of course a cat!

By Book or By Crook: A Lighthouse Library Mystery

Librarybelle While this one is a little deep and can cause emotions, I think this is also an extremely helpful book during this time. We all react differently to situations, but we‘re also not alone. Gottlieb is amazing.

Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed

Librarybelle A spin-off of Pride and Prejudice set in a Muslim community in Canada. It‘s fun, awkward, and good distractive reading:

Ayesha at Last

Librarybelle YA with a big punch. I absolutely love this book...Death‘s handmaiden sent on assignment to assassinate an official. Problems ensue.

Grave Mercy

Librarybelle Kate Warne, the first female Pinkerton agent, gets her turn to shine in this novel. There‘s hints of romance and danger. And, #LitsyAuthor :

Girl in Disguise

Librarybelle Historical fiction set in 6th century Scotland. The rise of the legend of Merlin appears. First in a projected trilogy. Can‘t wait for book two!

The Lost Queen (The Lost Queen Trilogy, #1)

Librarybelle The Blizzard of 1888 in NYC killed hundreds, including Prudence‘s fiancé. But, she thinks it wasn‘t the blizzard that killed him, and she‘s set to discover what really happened. I had the pleasure of meeting the author last Fall, as this was my library system‘s One Book selection. She‘s fun, and the series so far has 4 titles published (this is book one):

What the Dead Leave Behind

Librarybelle Probably my favorite of 2019. Finally....someone gave voice to the victims of Jack the Ripper. Amazingly written.

The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper

Librarybelle Barbados historical fiction, filled with lush descriptions and a romance that could rock society

The Summer Country: A Novel

Librarybelle Thanks, @JenReadsAlot @BookNAround ! 5y

TrishB I thought everything was on kindle 😁 5y

TrishB @Cinfhen what the dead leave is (cc on kindle!! Outrageous ? so that‘s a no. Ayesha looks promising and is only 3.79! 5y

Cinfhen 3.79 is more reasonable @TrishB now if you had a library card...... 😊😘😜 5y

TrishB @Cinfhen lol 😂 😂 I‘ll be better prepared for the next pandemic I promise!! 5y

April is almost here 😁! Remember that we are sharing our #ReadWithMrBook March picks on the 29th, our #LittenAuthor / #LitsyAuthor ones.

April‘s is a book not chosen *by* you but rather *for* you. You‘re supposed to ask a local librarian or bookseller, but thanks to the world‘s worst timing, you can ask any librarian or bookseller. You put your fate in his/her hands! Hashtag will be #LibrarianPick or #BooksellerPick!

Please share! ☺️🤗

squirrelbrain I‘ve got mine sorted already. It was recommended by a bookseller and I bought it a few weeks ago and I‘ve been saving it for April....

Scochrane26 I‘m using a book that was recommended by a bookseller last year. I haven‘t read it yet but have kept it in mind because she said it was so good. 5y

Bookzombie I think my library has staff picks on their site or I will check into a book store. 🙂 5y

Rissreads That is a fantastic idea as my local indie book stores put up recommendation lists. I will pick something from those. 😊 5y
