I had the opportunity to read Mollie Rushmeyer’s debut earlier this month, and let me tell you, it exceeded my expectations (read my full review here). The Bookshop of Secrets is now available for you to read!
About the Book
A collection of lost books holds the clues to her family’s legacy…and her future.
Hope Sparrow has mastered the art of outrunning her tragic past, learning never to stay anywhere too long and never to allow anyone control over her life again. Coming to Wanishin Falls in search of her family’s history already feels too risky. But somewhere in the towering stacks of this dusty old bookshop are the books that hold Hope’s last ties to her late mother—and to a rumored family treasure that could help her start over.
Only, the bookshop is in shambles, and the elderly owner is in the beginning stages of dementia and can’t remember where the books lie. To find the last links to the loved ones she’s lost, Hope must stay and accept help from the townsfolk to locate the treasured volumes. Each secret she uncovers brings her closer to understanding where she came from. But the longer she stays in the quaint town, the more people find their way into the cracks in her heart. And letting them in may be the greatest risk of all…

Confession: I was waiting for this one to arrive in-store to buy and read, but then it wasn’t in the store 🙁 So I purchased online. And now I’m waiting for my copy to arrive. I like my physical books too much right now so I waited to read it. But I can’t wait!
The book I’m featuring on my blog this week is A Promise for Faith by Stacy Simmons. The author is a dear friend of mine who unexpectedly went home to be with the Lord this week and I wanted to honor her by giving her the spotlight this week. I hope you have a great weekend 🙂
Happy Friday! I have this one on my TBR. I am reading The Lost Melody by Joanna Davidson Politano. Have a great weekend!
I really want to read Mollie’s book!
First line of Where the Blue Sky Begins by Katie Powner:
Eric Larson had never seen such a sorry excuse for a town.
I’ve been seeing this one around, it sounds really good! My post this week featured The Premonition at Withers Farm by Jaime Jo Wright. http://gracetogrowblog.com/premonition-at-withers-farm-jaime-jo-wright/
Have a great week!
This one looks so interesting! This weekend I’ve been reading a complimentary early copy of Where Dreams Reside by Heidi Chiavaroli. The first line is: I pressed the gas pedal harder as I passed the quaint sign that welcomed travelers to my hometown of Camden, Maine. ~ Have a great rest of the weekend!
