The Bookshop Book by Jen Campbell was given to me as a gift. I really want to open my own independent bookstore and this was an inspirational gift. It was the BEST gift. This book takes you on a tour of some of the most wonderful bookstores in the world. There are bookstores in barns, on boats and even whole book towns.

Alchemist by Paulo Coelho was first published in 1988 in Brazil. The first English version was published in the United States in 1993. This is a fast read, easily read in one sitting. The Alchemist is a fable that really has something for everyone. Every time you read it you can take away a life lesson, a business lesson or a love lesson. If you just want a great story, this will work for you as well.

Dear Fahrenheit 451 is a book I stumbled upon as searched for books about books. I didn’t know what to expect of a book that is “love letters and breakup notes to books”, but I LOVED it!! Annie Spence is sassy and smart and writes the way I think. I intend to use this as a guide as she is a librarian who reads and recommends.

The Life We Bury by Allen Eskens is a book that yelled out to me from the “buy 2 get the 3rd free” table. Maybe I grabbed it because the cover said “compulsively suspenseful”, I don’t know – we just clicked! I look forward to reading more from this author.

Unbroken is one of my favorite books. I had to buy another copy, because I gave mine away. This is the movie tie-in reprint. I saw the movie and the book was way better! I stayed up all night to finish this and in the morning I discovered that Louie was still alive!! So amazing!
He has since passed, but he was a true inspiration! A lesson in strength and forgiveness.
