Book Clubs

This page is dedicated to all the book clubs I’ve been a part of over the years! From my first foray into book clubs with the Modern Readers, to the latest, the Bridge Street Book Club, here are the books I’ve read in all my book clubs!

Who I Am & What I Do

Hello and welcome to Celebration of Books! I’m Sarah, a thirty-something bookstore community outreach liaison at an independent bookstore in the Philadelphia suburbs. I love my job, I love books, and I hope you’ll find a book or two here that you’ll enjoy as well!

My sister, Laura, also contributes reviews from time to time so you’ll see her as the author of some reviews, or occasionally a post with reviews from us both! We also have other guest authors or reviews from our friends as well!

Going to be doing something new in the next few months - baking my way through books! I've been watching countless episodes of @bingingwithbabish and have decided I want to do a book version! We'll see how it goes and probably won't have videos, but stay tuned! Going to start with @bakingfiction 's The Little Library Cookbook for inspiration!
Just chillin' at my favorite local brewery @rootdownbrewing with my upcoming book club book, The Lamplighters by Emma Stonex having my own little @silentbookclub!
Sometimes you're not a fan of your own country's cover of one of your favorite books so you have to get creative! This is the UK cover and I think it fits the story so well! I read Lessons in Chemistry by @bonnie_garmus_author back in September, pre-cover, and absolutely loved it! It's finally coming out on Tuesday so the review is up on the blog (link in bio and stories!) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5!
Today's review is for @kathleenwestwrites 's Home or Away which is out on Tuesday! When I came across the listing for Home or Away back in September when I was doing spring buying at the book store I manage, I pestered our sales rep CONSTANTLY until I got an advance copy (those who have followed me for awhile know those are my hockey skates in the photo) and I am so excited to finally be able to talk about it with fellow readers! ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5, link in stories and bio!
Up on the blog today, my review of @historyschmistory 's The Disappearing Spoon which we read in Nonfiction Book Club last year! ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 / 5
On the blog today, my review for the final book in @stephenfryactually 's Mythos trilogy! I enjoyed all three immensely and listened to the audiobooks for each, read by Stephen himself! Link in bio for the full review! @chroniclebooks
