Today’s topic is a freebie so I’m going all out with a list of 10 books about books and book lovers! There’s a lot more that I’ve read, but these are books I own physical copies of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino<\/a> – reading this was quite the journey, from utter confusion to realizing how brilliant it is and planning when to reread it. One for the TBR if it’s not there already! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan<\/a> – a peculiar bookstore where no one seems to buy anything. I wonder what mystery it’s hiding? Bet you want to find out. And you totally should. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett <\/a>– short, funny and sweet story about the Queen falling in love with reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George<\/a> – a literary apothecary, you say? Sign me up! ….did you sign up yet? A book about Monsieur Perdu who from his floating bookstore in a barge on the Seine, he prescribes novels for the hardships of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zaf\u00f3n<\/a> – a bookshop in Barcelona, a mysterious author and his disappearing books, the cemetery of forgotten books. A classic as far as I’m concerned really, everyone needs to read this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confessions by Jaume Cabr\u00e9<\/a> – did you see the spine? The same image is on the cover too. Need I say more? Spans generations and it’s absolutely brilliant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rules of Civility by Amor Towles<\/a> – with a main character who loves classics and has books everywhere, making good observations and witty dialogue about the philosophers needing less sun etc, this was my first 5 star read of 2021 and definitely one to remember! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak<\/a> – Liesel saves books from the fires in Nazi Germany, one where Death is a narrator and one that’ll definitely make you cry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin<\/a> – if this boosktore really existing, it’d definitely be on my list to visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield<\/a> – the writing of the biography of author Vida Winter and her missing thirteenth tale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you read any of these? Got any recommendations for me based on this list? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
