The Bookshop
by Evan Friss

book cover


When I first heard about this book about bookstores, it seemed right up my alley. Sure enough, this is a great book for book lovers and those who love browsing the shelves of their local brick and mortar. This historical journey through American booksellers goes back to the time of Benjamin Franklin and continues through cultural shifts in the county- from gay rights to racism. The business of books, the evolution of big box retailers and the transition to online sales and digital formats are all discussed. The book was a bit dry at times but did make me excited to visit independent bookstores in other parts of the country. I listened to the audiobook on Libby.

I thought it was really well-written. The club was cool and I also love making signs. It inspired me.

Ginseng Roots

An unexpected ginseng page turner, I especially enjoyed hearing about american ginseng and the stories of those who grow it as I genuinely had no idea the US was a big producer of ginseng let alone that we had a native species of it--what a hole in my knowledge! Craig Thompson has been consistently making good stuff since Blankets and I can certainly say this is not a subject I thought he'd be tackling but it's a good one.

Red Shoes

I got from the book that it is ok to give up your stuff when you don’t need it or fit in it anymore and you can dream about all the other people that will love your things.

Forget Me Not

I read this book for a summer reading bingo (square: read two books with the same title). This is a very short YA book but has excellent representation of Tourette’s and a sweet friendship/romance. There’s some tough family dynamics and painful social meanness.
