Hello, my bookish friends. Hopefully, the day finds you well and that you have a nice book in your hand or listening to one because I certainly do not judge if you choose to listen rather than read a book. I know there are times that I would rather listen than sit still and read especially if I have chores to do and a dog or two to walk.
Since we are two days past Christmas and just less than a week from the new year I decided I better start to find the first book of the year to start reading.
Drum roll please [insert here], The Book Charmer by Karen Hawkins. Now, Now I know but I thought you said no to "New York Best Sellers". I swear I think that publishers stick this label on every book that they publish in hopes that it will sell more copies just like the "low fat or zero sugar labels" at the grocery store. I have never heard of her or book before yesterday and the title caught my attention. I felt that the title would be a great start to this blog In case if you are not familiar with her or the book as I was not until I happened to stumble upon this little gem yesterday I will include the necessary insert from the book on here for you in case if you want to pick up this book hopefully at your locally owned bookstore.
Insert from the book;
"Sarah Dove is no ordinary bookworm. To her, books have always been more than just objects: they live, they breathe, and sometimes they even speak. When Sarah grows up to become the librarian in her quaint Southern town of Dove Pond, her gift helps place every book in the hands of the perfect reader. Recently, however, the books have been whispering about something out of the ordinary: the arrival of a displaced city girl named Grace Wheeler.
If the books are right, Grace could be the savior that Dove Pond desperately needs. The problem is, Grace wants little to do with the town or its quirky residents—Sarah chief among them. It takes a bit of urging, and the help of an especially wise book, but Grace ultimately embraces the challenge to rescue her charmed new community. In her quest, she discovers the tantalizing promise of new love, the deep strength that comes from having a true friend, and the power of finding just the right book.
“A mesmerizing fusion of the mystical and every day” (Susan Andersen, New York Times bestselling author), The Book Charmer is a heartwarming story about the magic of books that feels more than a little magical itself. Prepare to fall under its spell."
