My Tuesday post where I’ll ‘tease‘ you with the cover, blurb, and first paragraph of one of the advanced reader’s copies from my own TBR.

This book is a title I downloaded from NetGalley.

Today, Tuesday August 10, 2021 I want to introduce one of the ARCs on my TBR.

This book will be published August 31, 2021

Publisher: Berkley Publishing Group

ISBN: 9780593201374 – ASIN: ‎‎ ‎ B08QMB16FQ – 336 pages

1) The protagonist works in a library. (I retired from the library almost six years ago and I miss many aspects of the work)

2) The blurb mentions eccentric locals – my favourite kind LOL

3) The novel is bound to contain many literary references.

3) The story sounds like feel-good UPLIT, a genre I’m coming to appreciate more and more.

“You can tell a lot about a person from the library books they borrow.

June liked to play a game when things were quiet at work. She’d pick a patron and make up their life story based on the books they read. Today she’d chosen a middle-aged lady who took out two Danielle Steel novels and ‘The Rough Guide to Iceland’. After some consideration, June decided that the woman was trapped in a loveless marriage, perhaps with a boorish, aggressive husband. She was planning to run away to Reykjavik, where she’d fall in love with a rugged, bearded local. But just as she thought she’d found true happiness, her husband would track her down and announce…

“Well, that was a pile of shit.”

June was snapped out of her daydream by Mrs. Bransworth, who was standing in front of the desk waving a book in her face.

Have you ever read anything by this author?

Is this a title that you would consider adding to your TBR pile?

Why, or why not?

Let me know in the comments.
