I, Maggie Banks, solemnly swear to uphold the rules of Cobblestone
Books. If only, I, Maggie Banks, believed in following the rules.
When Maggie Banks arrives in Bell River to run her best friend's
struggling bookstore, she expects to sell bestsellers to her
small-town clientele. But running a bookstore in a town with a
famously bookish history isn't easy. Bell River's literary society
insists on keeping the bookstore stuck in the past, and Maggie is
banned from selling anything written this century. So, when a
series of mishaps suddenly tip the bookstore toward ruin, Maggie
will have to get creative to keep the shop afloat. And in Maggie's
world, book rules are made to be broken. To help save the store,
Maggie starts an underground book club, running a series of events
celebrating the books readers actually love. But keeping the club
quiet, selling forbidden books, and dodging the literary society is
nearly impossible. Especially when Maggie unearths a town secret
that could upend everything. Maggie will have to decide what's more
important: the books that formed a small town's history, or the
stories poised to change it all.
The Bookish Life of Nina Hill meets Younger in a heartfelt debut
following a young woman who discovers she'll have to ditch the
"dream job" and write her own story to find her happy ending. Meet
Nora Hughes—the overworked, underpaid, last bookish assistant
standing. At least for now. When Nora landed an editorial assistant
position at Parsons Press, it was her first step towards The Dream
Job. Because, honestly, is there anything dreamier than making
books for a living? But after five years of lunch orders, finicky
authors, and per my last emails, Nora has come to one grand
conclusion: Dream Jobs do not exist. With her life spiraling and
the Parsons staff sinking, Nora gets hit with even worse news.
Parson's is cutting her already unlivable salary. Unable to afford
her rent and without even the novels she once loved as a comfort,
Nora decides to moonlight for a rival publisher to make ends
meet…and maybe poach some Parson's authors along the way. But
when Andrew Santos, a bestselling Parsons author no one can afford
to lose is thrown into the mix, Nora has to decide where her
loyalties lie. Her new Dream Job, ever-optimistic Andrew,
or...herself and her future. Your next book club read touching on
mental health, happiness, and the peaks and perils of being a young
woman just trying to figure it all out. Nora Hughes is the perfect
heroine for anyone looking to get past their own chapter
twenty-something and build their storybook life.
Maggie Banks loves books. And running a bookstore sounds like the
best job in the world. Except in Bell River, a place that refuses
to let her sell anything written this century. But in Maggie's
world, book rules are made to be broken. And what better way to
break tradition than by starting an underground book club. But
keeping her new club quiet, selling forbidden books and dodging the
strict literary society is proving harder than it seems. Especially
when Maggie unearths a secret that could upend everything… Praise
