Littered with Trouble (A Whiskers and Words Mystery #1)

by Eryn Scott

But there was something wonderful about the muted smell as books aged. It felt more authentic, like they’d stopped trying so hard to be impressive and settled into who they really were.

The air smelled of pine boughs and woodsmoke with just a hint of the sweet waffle-cone scent from the ice cream shop next door.

This would make a great BPAL!

The right now was an important qualifier all readers understand. The idea of one favorite book was often too weighty a decision to be made. Plus, true readers know favorites change with seasons and moods. Lou had a favorite book for when she was happy, one she loved to read when the weather was warm, and another she pulled out if it was pouring rain or if she was feeling sad.

Lou wondered if he really had to hand wash all the glasses or if he just kept one at the bar to polish from time to time to add to the atmosphere.

This made me LOL
