    Just to complicate things, I'll throw in a vote for 84 Charing Cross Road. It's excellent (and as a bonus it's short so you can pick out another bookish book).

    Giver of the Stars/The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek are both about the book women of Kentucky. I loved the the Book Woman of Troublesome Creek. The people in this area of the country needed so much then and they still do.

    So glad you are back! Thanks for the suggestions! I say no to Misery, Stephen King terrifies me, but his books are always good. I vote for Bookshop Girl because it sounds like a quick and hilarious read. I enjoy young fiction between my more serious books for a comic relief. I look forward to see what you have chosen. 😁💜

    @antonellabassi3466 Před rokem

    I love your vids. As for suggestions, since I’m in the mood for a lighter read, I’d go with Michelangelo’s notebook. Two of my fave bookish books are Cristopher Morley’s Parnassus on Wheels and the Sequel, The haunted bookshop. Hope you can find and enjoy them.

    Ahnow. I don't really Know if this counts as a Bookish Book, but you might like (I did) The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, even though it's not on your list. It's been made into a not badly adapted film which is pretty good too, but the book is just charming and includes lots of thoughts on all sorts of books. each from the point of view of different characters.
    Set in post-WWII Britain it is an old-fashioned epistolary novel, comprising letters between between a successful authoress and a Guernsey farmer (and his friends): he is a fan and asks her if she can help him find out more about Charles Lamb. She does so and a correspondence begins. She learns about the eponymous society which was started during the German occupation after a drunken post-curfew dinner when, having feasted on the freshly slaughtered and apportioned but illegal pig and refreshed themselves with equally illegal moonshine, the attendees are staggering home. They are discovered by a German patrol, and have to invent a plausible reason for being out, - one which might not get them (and their host) executed. The (respectable and - to the Germans - apparently inoffensive) Society then has to become real, because the German authorities will monitor them - but it becomes precious in many ways for the members, who are otherwise living under conditions of desperate privation.

      Ah! I’ve heard of that one but never knew the premise. That does sound intriguing. Thanks!

    This was fun! My own favourite bookish books are ‘The Shadow of the Wind’ which you have, ‘Miss Buncles Book’ (a Joy, so funny), and ‘The House of Many Ways’ by Diana Wynne Jones - Read it, it has a magical house, a bookish heroine with a small dog (!) and a library.

    • @SquirrellyNerdyJess
      @SquirrellyNerdyJess  Před rokem

      I’ve now read The Shadow of the Wind, but I haven’t heard of the other two! I’ll add them to my list. Thanks!

    Yes I love pages and co. Hello fellow book collector. I like it look for what I call “book hoping” and magic libraries but I will provide variety in my recommendations
    1. Story Thieves by James Riley.This is a book series really similar to pages and co. except it has a much higher stakes and is written by an American. Every book is a different genre with the first one being a classic urban fantasy kicked of when Oscar a huge book nerd, finds out his classmate is half fictional and has her take him into his favorite book series to save his favorite character from dying.
    2.Kinda a Big Deal by Shannon Hale. Main character Josie Pie is a failed broadway actor and highschool dropout who starts reading books to escape reality and then literally escapes reality and struggles to find reasons to keep coming back.
    3.Ban This Book by Alan Gratz. Amy Ann’s school has started banning books so she starts a banned book locker library to fight back. Every book banned in the story has been banned in school libraries in the last thirty years.
    4.A kind of Paradise by Amy Rebecca Tan. Jamie Bunn made a big mistake at school and now has to spend her summer volunteering at the local library as punishment. The story is about the power of the library and the healing affects of books and community.
    5.The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams. This is similar in theme to a kind of paradise but British and aimed at adults. People throughout the book find these pieces of paper with the reading list for those who need it and we see how it changes their lives. We focus on two main characters Mukesh a widower trying to relate to his bookworm granddaughter and Aleisha a stressed teen who works for the library and is only there to pay the bills and finds relief from her rough home life. If you ask me it overlaps with another book on this list…
    6.The Library of Lost things by Laura Tailor Namey. This book is about Darcy Wells whose mother is a hoarder and Darcy fells like she has to hide her situation from my he people she knows. She gets into a romance with Asher Fleet which she is afraid of opening up and letting her see her messy life. She has to learn through the story to open up to Asher and stop hiding in stories to deal with her problems.
    I will probably think of more latter but with all these recommendations you might need a bigger book cart for your bookish books.

      Ah! No, I don't mention that. The shop I work at is Cotswold Internet Books. The best way to view our inventory is to go to our website (cotswoldinternetbooks.com) and use either the search or the shop front links to see our inventory on AbeBooks. :)

      @@SquirrellyNerdyJess Thanks! (And I recommend you read 84 Charing Cross Road. Somehow I felt more deeply immersed in the correspondence and the lives of the correspondents while reading the book, as opposed to watching the movie - which was also very good. I loved the book and it's a great quick read.)
