In celebration of Independent Bookstore Day, enjoy this list of books set in bookstores! How many have you read? Do you have a book to add to the list?
National Independent Bookstore Day
Are you looking for a book about books?
Do you have a favorite Indie Bookstore?
The last Saturday in April is Independent Bookstore Day in the United States, and indie book stores around the country are planning special events (either virtually or in person). Have you checked out your local indie book store?
To observe this day, I’ve collected a few stories set in bookstores. I’ve read them all and my top favorites (and highly recommended) are How to Find Love in a Bookshop, The Last Bookshop in London, The Printed Letter Bookshop, and The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry. I could reread these over and over again! Titles are links to my reviews or Amazon affiliate links.

Books take us to places we’ve never been, they teach us about our world, and they help us to understand human experience.”

I loved Lost for Words, Carol, and I’m looking forward to listening to the sequel Lost in a Bookshop!
I just heard there was a sequel!
This is such a great list. I think that The Bookish Life of Nina Hill is my favourite but they are all great reads
Love Nina! 🙌
Great list, Carol. I want to read the Borrow a Bookshop series after reading your reviews.
Thanks Carla! I still need to read the first one!
