Review: The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods 🎧

Posted on by Tarryn Atkinson

Another great book about books, with fantasy and some romance added. Again, the romance did not overwhelm the story itself and the story itself is just so magnificent.

A lost manuscript, the Brontë sisters, a magical bookshop, an eccentric old lady and so many enticing literary themes had me seriously wondering if I could give up my day job, move to Dublin and study literature full time.

The story takes place in 2 different time periods and is told from the perspectives of 2 incredible women making their own paths despite trauma and hardship.

Really really beautiful.

Review: The Echo of Old Books by Barbara Davis 🎧

Posted on by Tarryn Atkinson

I love a good book about books 🥰 Add some magic and I am in! There is some romance and I am generally not a big romance reader but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The romance wasn’t the main story which suits me perfectly.

A book restorer comes into possession of 2 old but very unusual books, with no authors, no publishers, no information at all. Her investigation into the 2 books unearths a mystery that she can’t resist.

The book moves across two periods in time, and the story is told from the perspectives of the 3 main characters and the differing versions of events add to the intriguing story.

I listened to the audiobook and the narrator for Hemi was how I imagined Henry Cavill would sound as a narrator 🥰 A girl can dream right?
