The Matchmaker's Gift: A Novel | 
pickThis story was exactly what I needed to get me out of a reading slump. I read this after a heavy book. It truly was love and light. The magical realism was sprinkled through in such a plausible way to give hope and make natural talents sparkle and glimmer.
I'm not crying. You're crying!
Fantastic rec @TheBookHippie!
This was just so sweet and heartwarming. Great characters and feel-good pretty much all the way through!
It made me sad that I was too young and involved in trying to know myself to really get to know my grandmother as a person beyond the wonderful, caring matriarch I remember so fondly.
My heart broke at the epilogue. Now I have to pick up a copy for my mom and sister to read.
pickSweet book about a matchmaker grandmother in the early 1900s and her granddaughter that is a divorce lawyer in the 1990s.

I‘ve been missing my grandma this summer quite a bit -she passed at age 98 and I was lucky to be in my 40s at the time and have her a good long time, but I miss her all the same. This book made me both ache for her and be grateful for her.
Beautiful book. I just loved it.
pickThis book was an absolute GEM! So heartwarming and beautifully written from start to finish. I loved the interlocking timelines between the grandmother and granddaughter, mixing historical fiction with a more contemporary story. It felt like it was written for a Jewish audience (which I am ☺️) so I‘m curious if it would be as enjoyable for readers of other backgrounds. Still, definitely one I‘ll be recommending!!
This mug is so perfect for me- size, picture- my name on the back!! I love it so much! Thank you Lindsey for the thoughtfulness that went into this swap ❤️😘❤️#muglov #muglove2023
Thank you Cindy and Megan for organizing this really fun Valentines Day swap!
Lindsey your wrapping paper was so much fun! I love the book, coffee and bookmark- but the mug is so perfect it is getting its own post 😘 #muglove #muglove2023
pick⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ This book is about “every pot having a lid.” In other words, there is a soulmate for everyone who wants one. It is also about the tenacity women in male dominated professions must have to share their gifts with the world.
Told w: a dual storyline, this book is steeped in romance and hope. If you‘re looking for a heartfelt, engaging, and uplifting read, I recommend this book. Full review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5139701344
pickThis book was adorable, it celebrates old Jewish tradition and the love between grandmothers and granddaughters. I know, Grandma Sarah would likely nonconcur but the book inspired me to ask Alexa to play the soundtrack of Fiddler on the Roof in the background.
pickI really liked this book about a grandmother who was a matchmaker in her youth, and her granddaughter who feels as though she might also have “the gift.” Interesting characters and a good writing style. Lots of happy endings and who doesn‘t like that.
pickA sweet fast read. Lived the history and traditions in this book. A feel good book. 3 🌟
pickLoved this charming story! Even the chapter headings-samples ⬆️. In 1910, 10 year old Sara discovers she can find people‘s soulmates. Not a proper vocation for a young Jewish girl. So, she tries to keep her gift a secret while helping people to find their true loves. Set in dual timelines: Sara in the early 1900‘s and her granddaughter Abby in 1994. A light, feel good book. Highly recommend this one as an audio read. The narration is delightful.
pickReview is up! This is a good one y‘all!
