Happy birthday to The Beacon Street Bookshop!

It’s here! I don’t know why, but it feels like the wait for��The Beacon Street Bookshop has been longer than any of the others in this series, and it’s only been five months! Maybe because I had the idea for this story even before��The Broken Hearts Bakery… so it’s been in the works in my head for way longer than it’s lived on paper.

But I’m super excited to share this one with you. For

Quotes by Carla Laureano (?)

“I love old places,” she said. “They have weight to them. Sometimes New York feels so transitory. Even London with all its history doesn’t have the same feel as Scotland.”
“The cities are too busy.” He shifted so he blocked some of the wind for her. “The quiet is deep here.” She glanced up at him, surprised by how well he understood her thoughts. “That’s exactly what it is. Deep quiet.”
― Carla Laureano, Five Days in Skye
