My current bookstore haul with Peaches oblivious to my photo taking ways….

This was such a great book!! 🧡💙 I‘ve been reading several books about books and publishing so I finally picked this one up. I had borrowed it from my mom over a year ago. I read it in two days. It made me laugh out loud a few times and had a lot of depth as well. 5⭐️ and one I could see myself re-reading (and I‘m not much of a re-reader).

Nina Hill is an almost orphan working in a bookstore in a trendy neighbourhood in LA. She has a crush on the rival quiz team captain but can‘t seem to do anything about it. The unexpected appearance of her previously unknown multigenerational family throws her quiet life into relative chaos. A gentle romcom - well worth the time - I‘m very envious of her privilege and lifestyle .

Book lovers unite! 'The bookish life of Nina Hill' begins with these beautiful quotes that all book-lovers can agree upon!

Super cute and sweet book to kick off the new year. Any story with “book” in the title is usually a pick for me! Nina is relatable and the author did a great job of easily transporting me into Nina‘s life in Larchmont. If you want a quick and easy read with humor, romance, trivia facts, and plenty of literary nods, this one is for you! ❤️👓📚🐱

Life can throw you major curveballs, but it‘s rare you can do much more than duck.

This was great fun. Possibly because I have more than a bit in common with the protagonist. The humor was a little crude. Anxiety was described and dealt with well.

My #JanuaryTBR was picked by fellow Littens and my furry buddy! My goal is read at least 22 books in #2022 😊 #tbr #goodreads #beatthebacklist #mountTBR

Knitting a second sock and reading about Nina Hill.

."Nina had looked around (the library) and realized she would never run out of things to read, and that certainty filled her with peace and satisfaction. It didn't matter what hit the fan; as long as there were unread books in the world she would be fine. Being surrounded by books was the closest she'd ever gotten to feeling like the member of a gang. "

"Libraries were her favourite places, and when she traveled, she would start out at the local library, thus immediately identifying herself as a total nerd. They say you always remember your first time, and Nina definitely did. Walking into the Los Angeles library to get her first library card, when she was eight or so was still a memory she treasured. "

Loved this book. Light read, not heavy at all. Perfect for a quiet evening in. The plot was not intense, there were a few passages that were very relatable and it had its humorous moments. Made me wish that we still had more independent bookstores around. As it is, I just randomly came acrose this book while browsing in my local library. I love it when that happens. You don't have that same experience with digital books at all.

Merry Christmas!!! Reading by the fire in the afterglow of gifts. Thankful for the season!

Thank you so much Tammy for my #jolabokaflodswap gift! I'm so excited to read this book and dig into this candy 🤤😋

And thank you @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing this wonderful event ☺️💖

She enjoyed people—she really did—she just needed to take them in homeopathic doses; a little of the poison was a cure.

She sometimes made lists of things she‘d already done solely so she could cross them off, which she couldn‘t help feeling was pretty pathetic but strangely satisfying. :")

She was small and slender and gave the overall impression of a baby deer, until she spoke and you realized you‘d been looking at a fox all along. As her good friend Leah once said, she wasn‘t mean; she was painfully accurate.

I absolutely adored this book! I identified some of my own personality traits in quirky bookish Nora, loved the crazy fun family she discovered she was a part of, and honestly was sad when I finished it. So cute and funny.
4.5 stars

I came home from a long overnight at work to find this fantastic surprise from @BennettBookworm waiting for me to open!! Thank you so much Suzanne!!!! I‘m going to check out your favorite online booker too - it sounds awesome 🤗🦉

3 ⭐️

I will admit that I chose this book solely because of the cute cover. It was just okay- I'm not sure what I really think about it. Nina wasn't particularly likable, but neither was Tom. The long lost family spin was a bit interesting, but I finished out of curiosity rather than actual interest.

A light contemporary romance with appealing characters across the board. I could have done with fewer jokey asides and digressions because they kept taking me out of the story a bit, but I'm a grumpy old lady so bear that in mind. Overall I'd recommend it.

I feel this so much!

Predictable but enjoyable. Easy to relate to the character, fluid reading, page-turner pick.

Audiobook. Good narration but a very predictable story

So far, not impressed. Seems very predictable. Book club choice so I have to finish.

Hate it for TWO REASONS:
1:Tom announces he is Nina‘s boyfriend after one week? In public to her friends and family without having a discussion with Nina first? Is that only odd to me??

Second reason in comments!!!! ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

I finished this one today. Such a good, easy read! Thank you again @Pogue for sending it to me!

This was such a fun little feel-good book! It was just what I needed to read after an emotionally draining week. I had a couple issues with the ending, but other than that I loved it!

I really enjoyed this light read 💕 Nina is such a relatable character and I loved everything about her 😁❤ This book made me was to visit my local bookstore so bad 📚😍

Any suggestions for other light reads like this one? 😊📚 TIA

Knocked Ed Asner off my TBR list. And listened to the audio book, something I need to do more. Loved Merci Suárez, & Nina Hill. My son bailed on I survived. He is getting harder to read to🙁. And Refugee was too much.I will revisit the recommendations from this week and have something good on stand by, power through, pull it off like a bandaid, pull up my big girl shorts and never look back. Good book, I'm just done with that genre.

I just woke up the house laughing!

Thank you! @Megabooks @Amandajoy @Prairiegirl_reading @Zoe-h & @ErinSueMreads for coming to my rescue when I needed a quick #feelgoodread

If you like cute cosy apartments, a quiet life, surrounded by all things books, you'd probably find your best friend in Nina Hill! Abbi Waxman described my dream life in a book, almost dream life! 🌟🌟🌟

Took some time out today to sit down and finally finish this book! It‘s been on my TBR for so long 😬. Such a cute story I‘m glad I finally got a chance to read it

I love this one!! Does anyone know of any books similar to this one?

This was a fun read. I needed it after all the heavy reads lately. 📚

Morning! Happy Sunday.
I'm about 30% through my audiobook 🎧
The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman
I'm hoping it's gonna be a relaxing day of laundry and reading
Enjoy the last of the weekend book friends

The perfect read to get out of a Book Slump. Light enough to breeze through, but relatable and well developed characters to fall in love with. Loved Nina‘s bookish wit and quirky phrases- I found a literary kindred spirit in a lover of books and stories, and working through and living with anxiety. A must read!

I just loved this book. Nina was very relatable and I liked her new found family. Sweet easy read. Glad to finally get to it. Reminded me slightly of Beach Read.

Agree with all the above!

Feel good - ok book

5 beautiful stars. What a delightful read, learning about Nina and her unique library of books life that drastically changes from a new found big family. She is one likable character, big hearted, funny, down to earth and relatable. I loved it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ such a nice cute story with a lot of my favorite things: Books and Team Trivia

Tagged is a third book I have in all three formats (ebook, audiobook, physical book). These came in the mail today. I can‘t wait to try The Garden of Small Beginnings.
