Still in my fluffy bookish book bubble. But I think I am ready to step out of it now. This one was nice, kept me engaged. I liked the characters and the love for books.

A small town story about a reluctant reader discovering a world of books :) It wasn't amazing, but the book was light-hearted and easy read :)
This is sort of a rom com, but the romance is not center stage.
Maggie is running her friend's bookstore while the friend is on maternity leave. She has good intentions of trying to be helpful by implementing new ideas that are against the co-owner's rules, but she ends up creating a fiasco.
I finally played around with the #storygraph 2023 wrap-up, and I'm really digging the summary infographic. Also all the stats!
A feel good bookish book.
A light read about a young woman finding her way in life. Nothing deep, just a fun little romp that includes a secret bookstore, a tiny bit of romance, and a bit of a feminist twist. Fun summer read.
I enjoyed reading this book so much. I love Maggie's character so much. The idea of the banned bookshop was great. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.
I‘ve been listening to this off and on for awhile now. Since I needed to pick a new walking book, I started it up again. I‘ve only got a couple of hours left. After so many warm days, it was surprising when it was actually relatively cold today. #audiowalk

Literally loved everything about this book. The characters are perfect in their imperfections, the plot evenly paced and kept me engaged. Thrilled to share my name with a creative, bookish soul in the main characters as she carves out a place in the world for herself instead of conforming in societal expectations.
Not a lover of romcoms but a sucker for a bookstore setting, I was pleasantly surprised this was so much more than expected. Will definitely be following up with her next novel, Must Love Books.
Last book purchase of 2022 At B&N after seeing Puss in Boots (I‘m just a giant child). 🍿📖
I was left unsupervised in a bookstore today...
There was a sale, it's not my fault 😅
I loved the concept behind the underground book club. I would totally attend events like that. 😂
Not over the top, but a humor read for sure.
This was such a fun read! I started it in hopes it would get me through Thanksgiving day at my in-laws, but I couldn‘t put it down and I finished it today 😅 I‘ll be starting another book I guess 😆 It kept my interest and usually I‘m not a fan of rom-com type books but this was very well done! I didn‘t roll my eyes or groan at something cheesy being said, so an A+ pick!
If there‘s a better way to de-stress on a Sunday than with a cozy blanket and a fun new read, I don‘t want to hear it. This is the only way I want to de-stress on a Sunday 🤪🤓😌 I‘m 50 pages into “The Banned Bookshop of Maggie Banks” by Shauna Robinson and it‘s a perfect palate cleanser from all the murder mysteries I‘ve been reading 🥰
. Firstly I admit I am always drawn to books about bookstores, readers, book clubs etc and the title of this book alone drew me in. But a title alone cannot hold you snuggled up reading with a smile on your face for 2 entire afternoons...only a well written book with likeable characters, believable plot lines, humour, friendships and some romance can do that and this book has it all.
The tagged book is really good - a town built on one author, working in a bookstore, a wonderful cast of characters.
The description of apple cheddar scones made my mouth water so I just had to make some for myself.
The recipe I used is from Smitten Kitchen and it lives up to its literary inspiration ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
