Lose Yourself in the World of Books
I love Sarah's Scribbles dearly (and am kicking myself for not having reviewed those books on here yet and will do so next week) and so when I found out Sarah Andersen was doing a new project, I knew I would have to read it! Synopsis From the publisher marketing:Elsie the vampire is three hundred… Continue reading Fangs by Sarah Andersen
The League of Extraordinary Women #1 I know they say to never judge a book by its cover, but I was pretty much sold on this one when my sister showed it to me while I visited her at the Towne Book Center in Collegeville, PA. I had not really delved into the world of… Continue reading Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore
American Royals #1 Like my wonderful sister I am always going to pick up a book that is related to royalty, whether real or fictional. When the pandemic lockdown started earlier this year, I started buying lots of books to make sure I would have enough. Although I firmly believe I could never have enough… Continue reading American Royals by Katharine McGee
Kingdom of Cards #1 This is one review I've been meaning to post for a LONG time - I met Janella in January and asked for three advance copies of her book so that I could buddy read it with two colleagues, who both finished it long before I did and absolutely loved it! Synopsis… Continue reading Where Dreams Descend by Janella Angeles
I'm not a big contemporary fiction reader, heck, I'm not even a big fiction reader. But when I was looking through my categories and tags for a good topic for a Bookish Tuesday post, I realized I've read more than I think I have. And as we wrap up the summer staff picks competition at… Continue reading My Favorite Modern Day Fiction Books

Synopsis From the publisher marketing:Desperate to escape from London, single mother Zoe wants to build a new… Continue reading The Bookshop on the Shore by Jenny Colgan
As the world continues to adjust to the new normal, we as booksellers have had to adapt our old ways of doing things to new ways, and one of those ways is embracing virtual events! Diary of a Bookseller #17 Shortly after lockdown started in Pennsylvania, I watch my first ever virtual event - my… Continue reading The Joys of Virtual Events
The Dark Story of America's Shining Women I'm continuing to play catch up - The Radium Girls was the Nonfiction Book Club selection for July and while I say I'm going to be better about posting in a timely manner, daily posts for the bookstore blog eat up a LOT of time. But if it's… Continue reading The Radium Girls by Kate Moore
Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick I promise I was trying to be better about posting regularly this month, but the time, where does it go? The Lady from the Black Lagoon was the Nonfiction Book Club selection for June, so I really am behind with this one! Synopsis From the publisher… Continue reading The Lady from the Black Lagoon by Mallory O’Meara
Royal We #2 I've found myself reading quite a bit of fiction this summer which is rare for me! Nonfiction readers don't fear, running the Nonfiction Book Club means that there will always be lots of nonfiction on my reading list! But I loved The Royal We so when I first found out a sequel… Continue reading The Heir Affair by Heather Cocks & Jessica Morgan
