ABOUT:

Recently moved to the English Cotswolds, Gemma Brown desperately wants to create the kind of idyllic life she’s read about in her favorite mystery novels, with herself as the leading lady. But fitting in proves difficult as Gemma is more adept at solving mysteries and setting up the village’s first bookstore than she is at baking cakes or grasping social niceties. Nevertheless, she finds a friend in Peggy, a young woman recently moved to town herself, and Ursula Beurton, who is not only the village’s best baker but an enigmatic figure who sparks controversy in the small-town gossip network.

As Gemma spends more time with Ursula, she begins to suspect all those novels are affecting her thinking. The oddities she starts to notice must be her imagination because, if not, they point to something far more dangerous than winning the local baking contest or being placed on the church committee. Could her neighbor be a real spy?

Following her instincts and a few skills learned through fiction, Gemma soon becomes embroiled in an international intrigue involving the village’s mysterious benefactor, Lady Marchmont, MI5, and the KGB. In an unexpected twist, however, Ursula asks Gemma for a favor which may endanger all their lives as their next chapter unfolds in Gemma’s new venture, the Undercover Bookshop.

In an utterly charming new paranormal cozy mystery from New York Times bestselling author Cleo Coyle, a small-town Rhode Island bookshop owner investigates the death of an eccentric librarian with the help of a wisecracking, 1940s gumshoe ghost. 

📘 👻 📘 👻

𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧:

As a young widow, Penelope moved back to her quaint Rhode Island town to give her young son a safer home and her aunt’s dying bookshop new life. Using her late husband’s insurance money, Pen polished the store into a local treasure. But her updates did more than attract new customers. They roused a dead private eye from his big sleep.

With Pen’s affection for hardboiled detective stories, it’s no surprise she’s developed a fondness for the wisecracking yet oddly likeable spirit. Sure, Jack’s cold spots are exasperating, along with his proclivity for putting noir fiction in the cozy section. But murder was Jack’s business in life, and his PI skills come in awfully handy when the body of an eccentric librarian is found amid the bookshop’s aisles.

For years, Dory jokingly called herself “The Dead Librarian” because of her hobby of collecting and writing local obituaries. Now, in death, she’s discovered with her own eerily pre-written obit. Was it a suicide note? Jack and Pen say no and their certainty takes them from a ghost town’s ancient cemetery to a posh Newport mansion. When another body drops, a mysterious stranger makes Pen a shocking offer, one that may change her life—and Jack’s afterlife. But unless Jack can help Pen prove who “checked out” the librarian, a ruthless killer may close the book on her.

The provocative cover caught my attention, but this powerful coming-of-age story held me captive. 

This is a strong, bold, character-driven narrative, focusing on Henry’s life. When we meet Henry, he is already a famous shoe designer, but the story takes us back to his roots, literally, when his cruel mother would lock him in the root cellar. 

We follow young Henry as he searches for acceptance and comes to understand his identity and sexuality. He travels from the confines of Kansas to being exploited in San Francisco and on to New York. While his fetish for shoes always plays a role in the story, I felt the main themes were self-expression, creativity, and acceptance. 

Several heartbreaking and disturbing scenes left me heartbroken for Henry as he tried to find his place in this world. One bright spot was Henry’s friendship with his childhood friend Perry, who had accepted him from the start and never stopped cheering him on.

I couldn’t let Banned Book Week pass without sharing this classic book.

Thank you to @penguinclassics for these gifted books

𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗱𝗲𝗻 by John Steinbeck has been banned and restricted in many areas because of mature content, adultery, abortion, profanity, suicide, violence, immorality, and discriminatory language (period-specific).  

It is heavy and dark-themed, exploring the battle between good and evil and the choices we make. It raises the question of nature vs. nurture and whether we can break free from our fates.

A true family saga, following two sets of brothers as they struggle with jealousy and acceptance, rejection and revenge, and hope for redemption. One woman, Cathy, is touted as evil throughout, but one could say she is the product of her past, her trauma. 

Steinbeck is, without a doubt, a descriptive writer and a gifted storyteller. I did find his characters felt a bit flat at times, as the emotion was told rather than shown. I wanted to feel the highs and lows, the agony and pain. I can see why this might translate well to the screen. 🎬 And in fact, this is now a hit Netflix series starring Florence Pugh.

Nevertheless, the story is a timeless classic! 

🎧 I was very thankful to have the audiobook, gifted from @PRHaudio. #PRHaudiopartner  Richard Poe’s narration carried me through the 25 hours and many sorrows in this book.

For fans of 𝘋𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘬𝘪 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘱 and 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘺𝘶𝘯𝘢𝘮-𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘱, this is a touching testament to love, sisterhood, and the power of the written word.

About:

At twenty-eight, Woo Hyo-young has mastered the art of silence—especially when it comes to her sister, Hyo-min. After years of shouldering the burden left behind by Hyo-min’s betrayal, and sacrificing her own dream of becoming a film director, Hyo-young is worn thin. When letters of apology from her estranged sister begin to arrive, each one a reminder of everything she’s lost, Hyo-young does the only thing she can: she runs.

Landing in Seoul with nowhere to go, Hyo-young accepts a quiet position at Geulwol, a tucked-away letter shop run by her former classmate, Seon-ho. Surrounded by the quiet rustle of paper and the comfort of handwritten notes, Hyo-young begins to witness the power of letters to bridge distances, mend wounds, and reveal hidden truths.

Then she meets Yeonggwang, a warm yet guarded webtoon artist and regular customer at the shop. Through their growing bond—and the stories of strangers who bravely write what they cannot say aloud—Hyo-young begins to confront her own past.

As the seasons pass, Geulwol letter shop becomes more than a refuge; it becomes a mirror. One that reflects Hyo-young’s unspoken pain, the beauty of forgiveness, and the tender courage it takes to pick up a pen and finally speak up.

This was a great blend of a high-stakes heist with a clever matchmaking service, offering suspense that keeps you guessing, along with comedy and romance. 

I don’t often compare books to other things, but as I read this, it felt like the characters of 𝘊𝘭𝘶𝘦 and 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘑𝘰𝘣 had met on a dating app. I know, I know, but roll with me! 

Six single people are invited to a special blind-date encounter: Dinner for Six. When an explosion goes off at the restaurant, the power goes out, and a lockdown ensues. While the six use the forced proximity to get to know one another better, one of the biggest heists is going down across town. 

Was the explosion a distraction? Or could someone here be in on the job? 

I was completely entertained. I enjoyed getting to know the characters, their backgrounds, and their connections. Talick uses wit and humor, poking fun at online dating and cringy dates. And the layered mystery, filled with twists, interesting characters, and romance, kept the story lively and compelling.

Thank you partners @bibliolifestyle and @blackstonepublishing, for this gifted book.

Collins did something totally out of her norm: a hot one-night stand. Of course, it led to a surprise pregnancy. She never thought she’d see Theo, the father, again, until they met again at their small-town hospital.  

Ok, I’ll admit surprise pregnancy isn’t always my favorite trope, but Natasha Madison made me fall for this one! I loved Theo; he doted on Collins and gushed over becoming a dad. His actions were so sweet.

The family dynamics play a big part in this story, adding depth and emotion. Collins parents are horrible, and they hold her back from believing she deserves love. Theo’s family is bigger and more chaotic, but by the end, they nearly had me in tears. 

There’s tons of fun banter, lots of emotions, an element of suspense, and plenty of spice; I’m hooked and plan to stick with this series!

🎧Thank you @librofm for the gifted audiobook. Pairing this with my reading was an absolute treat! With two of my favorites, Teddy Hamilton and Samantha Brentmoor, narrating, I couldn’t stop listening. They made me love Theo and Collins even more. I loved spending time with them.

I love sprayed edges! Check out the floral edges on this cute book.

Patricia Leavy has crafted a romantic and emotional story that pulls back the veil on celebrity/influencer life. 

Once I started reading, I didn’t stop. I was invested in who Emerson Blue, influencer and reality star, was behind the image she had created, and I wondered why she was willing to risk so much on a disgraced country music star. 

It offers the glamour, bustle, and sparkle of Los Angeles and the surrounding areas. At only 207 pages, Leavy cleverly lets the dialogue guide us, weaving us through this publicly scrutinized relationship, helping us understand the people behind the fame, image, and news.

With insight, compassion, and a bit of spice, it explores the illusions of social media, the beauty of self-expression, and the joy of finding those who believe in you.

Thank you @booksparks and @patricialeavy for this gifted book.
