POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Is there anything better on a stormy day than a cosy bookshop? I remember years ago at a Taylor Jenkins Reid event in London @tillylovesbooks telling me she’d love to open a bookshop one day so it was a joy to see that dream realised yesterday with the opening of @tillysbookshop ❤️

Tilly is such a champion of writers and books so it was no surprise that despite the truly terrible weather the bookshop was packed!

I highly recommend a trip to visit the bookshop and a stop @chipwickfishandchips as @alexhaybooks and I did though perhaps when there isn’t a Yellow weather warning 😂

In a serendipitous moment, once I’d avoided being swept into the road with Alex and braved the white-knuckle drive home, I finished reading Libby Page’s This Book Made Me Think Of You which features protagonist Tilly and is set in a bookshop! A beautiful love story to books. Perfect for anyone who has found comfort in books, or perhaps has disconnected from reading and needs a reminder. I recommended it to Tilly as I was leaving yesterday and of course she had already read & loved it! 📖

'This Book Made Me Think of You' by Libby Page ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

📚 Synopsis: Tilly Nightingale is a grieving widow who receives a surprising birthday gift of twelve carefully chosen books from her late husband, Joe, to help her navigate her first year of grief.

📝 My Review: A delightful read chock full of book references, book cliches, and book recommendations. A true book girlies romance.

There is a lot to love about this book - the quirky but sad girl, the sweet bookseller, the idea that a dying spouse could be so in love with his wife that he sets up a year of books to guide her through the grieving process. The adventures she goes on helps her bit by bit to feel again, love again and live again.

I did find it a bit indulgent - she jets off to Scotland, Italy, and Paris after quitting her job with zero financial worries but I guess it's all part of finding herself. It did get a little repetitive and slow in the middle but it all ended nicely tied up.

I book lovers dream romance narrated beautifully by Zadeiah Campbell-Davies.

Thank you @prhaudio #prhaudiopartner for the gifted audiobook to listen to and review.

Tilly gets a call from her local bookshop that changes her life.

There is a package waiting for her from her husband. Except he’s been dead for six months.

It seems that prior to his death, Joe asked bookshop owner Alfie to help him choose one book a month for his wife to help ease her grief in the months after he’s gone.

These books send Tilly on book and life related adventures, while grounding her with a safe space and person.

And Alfie, in his oversized cardigan, bushy beard, and tortoise shell glasses, is taken by this heartbroken young woman and encourages her when things are tough.

As she moves back into the world of the living, will she also take another chance at love?

𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦
This book was made to make you feel all the things and boy, does it ever.

What a tender, lovely story of caretaking from beyond the grave that bleeds into the here and now.

This is an ode to book lovers with monthly reading suggestions as well as Joe’s carefully wrapped and curated selections.

Tilly is simultaneously brave and soft. Alfie is immediately endearing as the perfect book store owner. His side story puts a spotlight on the problems small business owners face despite the services they provide beyond offering books to buy. (Fvck big box stores, basically.)

It’s heartwarming and sad and just really, really lovely.

I was unfamiliar with Zadeiah Campbell-Davies but I would seek her out in the future. Pitch perfect British charm and excellent job sliding into American accents when necessary.

This Book Made Me Think of You by Libby Page @libbypagewrites
Rating: 4.5/5 ⭐
This is the ultimate book about books! It has bookish references, lists of books, a cosy bookshop, and books everywhere. And on top of all that, it’s such a beautiful story.

I absolutely loved the idea of a year of books! The amount of love, thought, and care that went into arranging this gift for Tilly was wonderful. It gave her something to look forward to while navigating life after losing her husband, Joe, and I loved seeing how the books gradually helped her find her way forward.

One of my favourite aspects of the story was how grief and healing after the loss of a partner were handled. Nothing felt rushed, and Tilly’s journey into the next phase of her life felt natural. I loved how Joe’s gift took her to wonderful places, introduced her to amazing people, encouraged her to try new things, and helped her make new friends. I also really enjoyed the flashbacks to Tilly and Joe’s love story.

And then there’s Alfie! He’s thoughtful, kind, friendly, respectful, and owns a bookshop!😍 What more could you want? I loved the dynamic between Tilly and Alfie from the very beginning, and watching their relationship develop was such a delight.

This book took me on an emotional roller coaster, but in the best possible way. It made me smile, tugged at my heartstrings, and left me feeling warm and hopeful.

I don’t read romance very often, but this is definitely a book I want to revisit. It’s a beautiful story about love, loss, healing, new beginnings, and the magic of books.

I would recommend this to absolutely everyone! ❤️

📚 ~ Αυτό το βιβλίο μου θύμισε εσένα ~

🏢Εκδόσεις: @metaixmiobooks
✒️Συγγραφέας: @libbypagewrites

5/∞✨✨✨✨✨
Δώδεκα βιβλία.
Δώδεκα μήνες.
Μία ευκαιρία να γιατρέψει την καρδιά της…

Όταν η Τίλι Νάιτινγκεϊλ δέχεται ένα τηλεφώνημα που την ενημερώνει ότι ο σύζυγός της της έχει αφήσει ένα δώρο γενεθλίων στο βιβλιοπωλείο της γειτονιάς, δεν μπορεί να κρύψει την έκπληξή της.
Εν μέρει επειδή δεν θυμάται πότε ήταν η τελευταία φορά που διάβασε ένα βιβλίο μόνο για ευχαρίστηση. Κυρίως όμως επειδή ο Τζο πέθανε πριν από πέντε μήνες…

Το δώρο είναι απλό – δώδεκα προσεκτικά επιλεγμένα βιβλία από τον Τζο, ένα για κάθε μήνα, για να τη βοηθήσουν να γυρίσει σελίδα στον πρώτο χρόνο της ζωής της χωρίς αυτόν.

Κι έτσι ξεκινά ένα ταξίδι εμπνευσμένο από την ανάγνωση, που μεταφέρει την Τίλι σε όλο τον κόσμο: από τους πολυσύχναστους πεζόδρομους της Νέας Υόρκης και τις δενδροφυτεμένες λεωφόρους του Παρισιού μέχρι την ήσυχη εξοχή της Τοσκάνης και τις λευκές αμμουδιές του Μπαλί.

Με τη βοήθεια του Άλφι, ιδιοκτήτη του βιβλιοπωλείου, η Τίλι αρχίζει να ανακαλύπτει τον καινούργιο της εαυτό, στη ζωή μετά τον Τζο. Μπορεί όμως η χρονιά των βιβλίων της Τίλι να της δείξει πώς να αγαπήσει ξανά;

💐💐Δεν έχω λόγια να περιγράψω αυτό το βιβλίο! Με άγγιξε τόσο πολύ, είδα από άλλη οπτική κάποια πράγματα και καταστάσεις, μου έδωσε πολύ θάρρος και δύναμη.. Έφυγε σαν αέρας, παρά τον όγκο του!
Μερικές φορές, για να μάθουμε να ζούμε ξανά, χρειαζόμαστε απλώς μια ιστορία που θα μας θυμίσει πως, ακόμη και μέσα στην απώλεια, η ζωή έχει κι άλλες σελίδες να μας χαρίσει. Γιατί το να προχωράς δεν σημαίνει πως ξεχνάς. Σημαίνει πως μαθαίνεις να κουβαλάς την αγάπη με έναν διαφορετικό τρόπο. Ένα βιβλίο που αξίζει να διαβαστεί, όχι μόνο για την ιστορία που αφηγείται, αλλά και για όσα μπορεί να ξυπνήσει μέσα μας. Γιατί κάποιες ιστορίες δεν τελειώνουν στην τελευταία σελίδα· συνεχίζουν να ζουν μέσα μας.💐💐

This book was SO beautiful and emotional. It had most of us crying. 🥹😭💕 We all fell in love with this story, and somehow, it was a unanimous FIVE STARS from the girls! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A beautiful reminder of how books can bring us comfort, help us heal, and find a way into our hearts when we need them most. 📚✨

Now imagine someone you love choosing a year’s worth of books just for you. 🥹📚💕 Which book would YOU want someone to pick out for you?
