This was a thoroughly enjoyable book. Quirky characters, sad stories, but ultimately a happy ending. Great musical description! That was the real draw of this book. It was easy to read and be in the story.

My evening reading stack!
I got my #lmpbc round 13book back in the mail a couple days ago. Thanks.

Frank owns a music shop that sells only vinyl records. The author goes back and forth between current day and little snippets of Frank‘s youth and learning about music with his mother Peg. Oh how I wish Peg was real and I could listen to the Hallelujah Chorus with her and Frank. I enjoyed the characters more than the actual story but it is worth reading just for the descriptions of the music.

I didn‘t have another pic of this book and I have already packaged it to mail to @babyruth2510 for #LMPBC. Sorry it‘s a little late. So I thought I would post a pic of my cat instead. #CatsOfLitsy Anyway, the book was good, a soft pick for me. It had a lot of heart and was a quick read.

My Dad passed away last week. I spent the past week in California clearing out his place with my sister. Today I am grateful to be home eating breakfast in my jammies. I didn‘t get to this #LMPBC book as soon as planned but I‘m going to get it read and in the mail asap. Today seems like a good day to sit on the couch and read.

This took me a little bit to get into, but I did enjoy it. There is a Spotify playlist that goes along with it and I found it a nice touch to have that playing in the background as I read the book.

I love Rachel Joyce's whimsical and witty writing! The Music Shop is a great book for music and rom-com lovers. Frank owns a vinyl record shop and has a...magical?...ability to determine the music his customers need. Interspersed throughout the novel are memories from his childhood in which his mom teaches him about music. Frank is the only dimensional character. It's a feel-good, healing vibes book. 4.5 stars

I didn‘t love this book, but there were a few #lovesong (s) 🎹🎼🎤

This was an absolute gem of a novel. I wish I had read it sooner. If you want a nice story, especially after reading something heavy, this is the book for you. The community of characters are lovely. If you like Mr. Holland‘s Opus and Notting Hill you will like this book. I read it straight through. It would be great to read it snowed in or on a beach or in a little cafe. Just make sure you have away to listen to all the music mentioned.

This book made me cry. In places, it felt soulful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘m in!! My goal is 8 hours of reading. Not a lofty goal, but hopefully one I can meet. The tagged book is my current read.

Owner of a vinyl-only #music shop, Frank has a #magical ability to intuit just the right record for each customer, except for the mysterious Ilse Brauchmann. Frank recalls his quirky mother's lessons as he tries to help Ilse and hang on to his failing business amid his changing neighborhood and his own emotional struggles. Loved this ultimately uplifting tale of the healing power of music. @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @TheKidUpstairs #InspiredNewYear

I loved this. Heart-warming, quirky, it speaks to the power of kindness, and community. Well-written, and interesting, this was a feast and I loved every page. 5/5

This book made me remember why I love The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. Joyce is such a great writer. I love when a character‘s compassion is their superpower. This was such a feel-good story, and yet the writing is so powerful.

One that‘s been on my TBR pile for far too long

Music comes out of silence and at the end it goes back to it...

#QuotsyAug20 Day 12: #Vinyl

Slight play on the #SongofLove theme with a love story centred around a music shop. Very cheesy ending but secretly loved it!
#FlyHighJuly

What a quirky, fun, and fulfilling story. It doesn‘t quite go in the direction you‘d think or really take the route yours expect, but gets you to where you need to go, much like our hero Frank. I quite enjoyed it more than I expected. With all these characters I could definitely see this turned into a movie with a fantastic sound track!

Love a good quote about love! ❤️
Thoroughly enjoying this book more than I expected. A little sad I waited so long to pick it up.

Time to start going through the BOTM shelf. Will knock it out chronologically. First up: The Music Shop!
So far it‘s cute, can see it as a quirky British movie like Notting Hill.

"And of course the silence at the beginning of a piece of music is always different from the silence at the end ... Because if you listen, the world changes. It's like falling in love. Only no one gets hurt. "

From my TBR pile; I loved The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry so hoping I will enjoy this one too!

This was an enjoyable book, set in a record shop. An unusual love story is the core of the book.

#MusicalCover

Loss of community as shops closed down and enjoyable story of saving it. Heartwarming but not melodramatic. Story of hope

This book is about a run-down vinyl music shop owned by Frank, who has a knack for finding the music people need to hear, and whose life is turned upside down when a young woman appears one day. It is full of intricate and interesting characters and explores how music can make you feel if you truly stop to listen. I loved it.

I loved this one ❤️ Ah all the talk about Moonlight Sonata and The Hallelujah Chorus was perfect. A must read for music lovers!

🥰 I have never read a book like this before. I'm usually a fantasy girl. This book was amazing and so so cute. I feel warm, and I relate so much to Frank, the main character. To be so full of love for others but so oblivious to the fact that you are worthy of love. 10 out of 10. Will be buying this as Christmas gifts for friends.

"Frank was so busy loving other people, he had no room to accommodate the fact that someone might turn round one day and love him back." ?

"music comes from silence, and when its finished, it goes back to it....but the silence at the start isnt the same as the one at its end. Because if you listen, you are changed. Like falling in love"

Starting this today. It's cute 😁 and very different from what I usually read

“Music said things that words couldn‘t.” 🎼🎹

Today‘s tag for #MOvember, #Music, brought to mind this book by Rachel Joyce. Whilst it isn‘t in the same class as The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry (very little is) I enjoyed this book. Loved the setting of The Music Shop and the great group of characters created. A good romance that runs through it too. A bit of a cheesy ending scene, but secretly love it and it brought a smile to my face. Great musical references through the book.

Day 27 - #Music #TheMusicShop #RachelJoyce #SelfImprovementSept

1988. On a dead-end street in a run-down suburb there is a music shop that stands small and brightly lit. The shop attracts the lonely, the sleepless, the adrift; Frank, the shop‘s owner, has a way of connecting his customers with just the piece of music they need. Then, one day, into his shop comes a beautiful young woman, Ilse Brauchmann, who asks Frank to teach her about music.

This was the first thing that came to mind for #YouCantStopTheBeat #SeptemberSins @jenniferw88

Story about a guy who won‘t sell anything but records in 1988 and, of course, a girl as well. Very cute romance about the healing power of music!
