Found in a Bookshop: The perfect Autumn read - heart-warming and unforgettable

Product Information

George and Rosemary are a delightful couple and their lifelong love warms your heart Loveday is a fabulous quirky character and I enjoy the introduction of Kelly and Madison who are very likeable too. There’s a woman who’s just escaped from an abusive husband…and there’s a moody teenager who takes what seems to be an irrational dislike to Kelly. I loved this book, I really enjoyed the interwoven stories ranging from books and pandemics to escaping previous lives and relationships. I loved the concept of getting books as part of mental health and how they can help us through rough times.

Some of these books I own, and want to read even more now; some I have read and enjoyed the small summery to remind me why I loved them and some that I haven't read, but have now been added to my TBR. There are lots of excellent book recommendations scattered around in there too - frankly, loads and my to be read list has increased greatly, which is always a bonus. It's filled with the recommendations that they provide - books for loneliness, books to scare you, books for being normal or books to travel somewhere new. Everything Stephanie Butland wrote about about that period was so relatable, even though the story was set in York - thank you.Het voelde enorm warm aan om te lezen over de boekenwinkel, en de vreugde die een boek teweeg kan brengen bij mensen. It's really interesting to think of the role that books had in the pandemic to help people to cope and certainly I find that that's still true now. Although she’d never have chosen it, her dance with cancer has changed her life in many positive ways.

I work in the library and read over 100 books a year in various genres but still would not be so presumptuous as to think I could recommend books to people I don’t know.This book tells the story through multiple different character POVs and gives some brilliant book recommendations along the way, prescribing reading as a form of therapy which I'm always on board with. While I've read thousands and have a sizeable home library, few books have ever begged me to read them again. It was heartbreaking to hear their stories, especially as I was pretty sure they would be based on true accounts.
