The Big Sleep | Raymond Chandler
post image

The Big Sleep contains a couple of short but memorable scenes #setinbookstores. The film version takes the scene between Humphrey Bogart's PI and Dorothy Malone's bookseller to a whole other level. Steamy bookshop noir, have a watch on YouTube if you haven't seen it before:

Susannah I just finished the audiobook of The Big Sleep this morning. At the risk of being unpopular, I thought the movie was better. 😉 8y

This seems the obvious choice, but I don't think I have many books that qualify! This charming teeny book collects correspondence between a writer in NY and a bookseller in London during the post-WWII period, when rationing was still in effect. Instances of generosity and kinship resulted in a long friendship.

Using this series for #kickassheroine and #setinbookstores. Mac (MacKayla) Lane goes to Ireland to look into her sister's murder and meets a mysterious fellow who owns a bookstore. This is an awesome series and I can't wait for the next one to come out! #seasonsreadings2016

And let us not forget the best ever book set in a bookstore - 84, Charing Cross Road. I love this version by Avon which I found at a library sale in Los Feliz when visiting my sister who lived in LA a few years ago.

elkeOriginal Such a cute retro cover! 8y
HardcoverHearts One of the best books ever. So fantastic. 8y

#seasonsreadings2016 - #setinbookstores

Although I have yet to read either of these, they have been on my tbr for a while. I have high hopes since they center around a bookstore. 😁

erzascarletbookgasm Love these two! 8y

Day3 #seasonsreadings2016 #setinlibrariesbookstores Here are two books set in bookstores, or in the case of the wonderful 'The Bookshop on the Corner'-a van/bookmobile. 'First Impressions' is a fairly recent addition to my TBR stack from the library bookstore and it's supposed to be a mystery/love story/homage to Jane Austen set in an antiquarian bookstore in London (which sounds right up my alley!) Has anyone read it yet? 📚❤️#setinbookstores

RealLifeReading I've not heard of First Impressions but it does look pretty! 8y
erzascarletbookgasm I have First Impressions on my TBR. Have you read his other book, ? Interesting. 8y
DebinHawaii @RealLifeReading Yes, I was pulled in by the cover and description! 📚👍 @erzascarletbookgasm No, I have not. I grabbed this one when I saw the description but the first book does sound interesting so I'm going to keep my eye out for it. 👍 8y
raelaschoenherr Wow, First Impressions sounds right up my alley! 8y
Jaimelire Have to read these 8y
