Release Date: September 20, 2016 Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks Format: Paperback Pages: 368 pages Genre: Fiction Buy: Kindle | Paperback   Synopsis: Nina Redmond is a literary matchmaker. Pairing a reader with that perfect book is her passion… and also her job. Or at least it was. Until yesterday, she was a librarian in the hectic city. But now the job she loved is no more. Determined to make a new life for herself, Nina moves to a sleepy village many miles away. There she buys a van and transforms it into a bookmobile—a mobile bookshop that she drives from neighborhood to neighborhood, changing one life after another with the power of storytelling. From helping her grumpy landlord deliver a lamb, to sharing picnics with a charming train conductor who serenades her with poetry, Nina discovers there’s plenty of adventure, magic, and soul in a place that’s beginning to feel like home… a place where she just might be able to write her own happy ending.

I've always loved to read. My mother and my grandmother used to read to me when I was little and I always saw my grandmother reading something.  As I got older I would often find myself calling her to share a book title that I thought she would like.  Now that she is gone that is one of the main things I miss the most.  I often find myself finishing a book I know she would like (something about history is what she loved best) and wishing I could pick up the phone and call her.  Since I can't do that I thought I would share my books with whoever stumbles across this blog.
