Some really good fiction here!
Thanks so much ♥️
The Last Bookshop in London sounds really good to me. I love books about books and reading and people who love them. I agree about books that take the names of God and Jesus in vain.
I think you’ll really like this book.
Hi, Paula. Unfortunately, I do not get to read as much as I would like too. Right now, the time I do have for reading, is saved for my Bible studying goal for this year.
Take care and best wishes.
I hear ya on that Debbie.

I haven’t heard of any of these books before, but I certainly like the sound of The Last Bookshop in London and Anything For a Mystery.
Popping over from Book Worms Monthly.
You would definitely like The Last Bookshop in London and Anything For a Mystery.
Oh boy, I’ve just added most to my TBR list, these are not really my usual type of books but I’ve been looking for something with a little more character building and history. The Last Bookshop in London and The Irish Boarding House are definitely on the list.
I’m not usually a fiction reader but I love reading. I spent 2023 in a reading funk and didn’t read anything. I usually read nonfiction. But I’m finding that there are some good fiction reads out there.
