Some of these books were on my tops lists the past two years and a few still on my TBR! Agree that women quitting job to work in bookstore is about the most healing and splendid genre there is :)
Loved so many of the books on this list that I also happened to read last year! If you want to continue along the theme of women quitting their jobs to open a bookstore, I just finished reading a novel love story :)
Books, food, love… the great literary themes are all here. Real Americans is one of the books I read this year but did write about in any of my dispatches (this seems lately like a better word than newsletter). You are right— fascinating lotus seed!
I have Remarkably Bright Creatures on my to be read list. And what woman doesn't dream of quitting her job to open a bookstore (or alternatively, to steal away to a remote cabin in the woods)?
One day I hope to live my “women quits job to open bookstore” dreams🤩
Goals indeed!

Yay for having similar book tastes! Ooh I do indeed haha—will check that out, thanks!
Hello, Beautiful by A.N. was fantastic. I listened to it on Audible while walking dogs last year. Loved it.
I'd like to humbly add my own novel, which has been well-reviewed and won two awards in 2024:

It was indeed! Thanks for sharing—I’ll check your book out.
What My Bones Know by Stephanie Foo was sooooo amazing!!! That booked changed my life 🥰
It was! There are many things from the book that have stayed with me.

Yes, I'm really glad I got to read widely this year! 'Dispatches' does sound better—I might borrow it from you!
Great list. Looking for some inspiration for my new year's reading so will add some of these
Thank you! Please let me know which you end up reading.
Lovely post! These books aren’t usually on my radar but I would love to read them sometime!
I'm glad you found some new books here and hope you like them!
