The Bookish Books Reading Challenge: August Book Ideas and Link-Up for Reviews
Good Bad Girl by Alice Feeney—Books aren't a huge theme in this mystery/thriller, but one of the main characters is a librarian in a women's prison. She talks about the power of reading in her life and in the lives of the inmates.
I also read this one that seemed like it would be bookish but really wasn't:
The Secret Library by Kekla Magoon—Another middle-grade novel, this one is about a girl who finds a mysterious map left for her by her beloved grandfather, who has just died. It leads her to a library full of objects that look like books, but are actually stored secrets. So, the title refers to a library full of secrets instead of a book library that no one knows about. Disappointing!
Library Girl and The Secret Library were pretty meh reads for me, but I enjoyed the others.
What bookish books am I planning to read in August? This one looks really cute, although I might save it for later in the year:

I'm sorry Library Girl did not work for you. It sounded so promising.
ReplyDeleteOh, I have not been good about bookish books lately. I need to pay attention to what's on my TBR shelf that qualifies and get to them sooner rather than later.
ReplyDeleteI added a few links for those I posted in August. I added Summer at the Santorini Bookshop, Everytime I Go on Vacation Someone Dies, Checked Out For Murder, The Borrow a Bookshop Holiday, The Wild Lavender Bookshop and The Sawmill Book Club. That is 6 for me in August. The Luminous Life of Lucy Landry looks like one I want to read. Too bad The Secret Library was a different kind of library, Susan. Happy Reading in September.
