Anna (annafrommontana) | 415 comments I am reading The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend by Katarina Bivald. A cute story of a woman from Sweden who visits a small town, Broken Wheel, and how it effects her life. Nothing spectacular but a fun read.

WendyGwen | 7 comments I’m also reading the Storied Life of A.J.Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin. I’m almost done and will be sad as it’s such an enjoyable book. I love the characters and setting which is on an island in a bookstore. Despite characters having experienced significant losses, the book emanates optimism and renewal. It could also be used under the prompt about someone getting a second chance. In this case, several characters live life anew.

Dana Cristiana (silvermoon1923) I have finished Reading Quirks: Weird Things that Bookish Nerds Do! by The Wild Detectives. It centers around bookish stuff, it's pretty fun!

Iva Ts | 2 comments The Cat Who Saved Books

I read the Cat Who Saved Books by Sōsuke Natsukawa,
The book shop of the main characters is a central place to all happenings. The book was shorter than expected, but sweet.

LeAnne | 38 comments Based on a comment here, I tried out "Reading Quirks: Weird Things that Bookish Nerds Do," for this prompt. Not as good as I thought it might be, but a quick read.

Hey, I read it for this prompt, and I honestly have the same opinion.
Not as great as I imagined but some were fun.

message 83: by Rachel (new)

Rachel (mimbza) | 119 comments An Unnecessary Woman by Rabih Alameddine An Unnecessary Woman by Rabih Alameddine is a quiet, but beautifully written story about an elderly woman living in Beirut, ensconced with her beloved books. ⭐⭐⭐ here is my review


message 84: by Rachel (new)

Rachel (mimbza) | 119 comments The Single Ladies of Jacaranda Retirement Village by Joanna Nell The Single Ladies of Jacaranda Retirement Village by Joanna Nell is a quirky tale of aging disgracefully. The only bright spot in 79 year old Peggy’s beige life is watching eligible widower Brian walk past in the mornings until her glamorous mad-cap childhood friend Angie makes an appearance and turns more than just Peggy’s wardrobe upside-down. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ here is my review.
