About the Book
The Lost for Words Bookshop is a compelling, irresistible, and heart-rending novel, perfect for fans of The Storied Life of AJ Fikry and The Little Paris Bookshop.
You can trust a book to keep your secret . . .
Loveday Cardew prefers books to people. If you look closely, you might glimpse the first lines of the novels she loves most tattooed on her skin. But there are things she'll never show you.
Fifteen years ago Loveday lost all she knew and loved in one unspeakable night. Now, she finds refuge in the unique little York bookshop where she works.
Everything is about to change for Loveday. Someone knows about her past. Someone is trying to send her a message. And she can't hide any longer.
Lost for Words is a compelling, irresistible and heart-rending novel, with the emotional intensity of The Shock of the Fall and all the charm of The Little Paris Bookshop and 84 Charing Cross Road.

Why I can't wait for this one!
OMG.......A book about a BOOKSTORE?! And a BOOKWORM who prefers books to people?! Heck, that was ME during my teens!! Lol. OF COURSE I WANT TO READ THIS. And I'm SO happy that I won't have to wait that long, either! This is one of those adult novels that really sounds more like an "angstsy" YA read. PLUS I want to see how the romance fits into the story..... 'Nuff said!!
About the Author
I guess every bookworm has some sort of fantasy about owning a bookstore. Books like this seem to go to the heart of this. Based upon the description, it also sounds like there might be a tragic underpinning to this one however. Either way it sounds intriguing. I also love books about books.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week Maria!
Hi, Brian!
DeleteOh, DEFINITELY!! I have seriously given thought to that myself, from time to time. I haven't done it, though, because I would need some capital to start such a business, and I'm sadly lacking in that department....lol. Besides, there are the mighty Barnes & Noble, plus Amazon, to compete with! And in Miami, there's also Books and Books, an independent bookstore that has become a chain, since they now have FIVE stores -- four of them in Miami, and one in Miami Beach!
I sure hope the plot of this book isn't hiding a tragedy! There's an air of mystery about it, that's for sure!
Of course, ALL of us bookworms LOVE books about books!! Lol.
Hope you're having a great week! Thanks for commenting!! <3 :)
Looks good. Love that cover, looks nice and cozy, but when I read the description about her having a secret and someone trying to send her a message, it almost had an ominous tone to it! Curious about this one. I wanted to read Little Paris Bookshop too, but haven't gotten to it. There is something about books set in bookshops... :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Greg!
DeleteOh, I LOVE that cover, too!! It does indeed look cozy!
Yeah, I know.....Brian mentioned this ominous tone, as well.... Gee, this book sounds SO delightful, I'm crossing my fingers that it won't turn out to be sad!
I want to read "The Little Paris Bookshop" myself. I even own this book! "So many books, so little time...." Lol. And OF COURSE, there's something about books set in bookshops! Lol.
Thanks for commenting!! <3 :)
Some days this is me right now LOL! Glorious pick, Maria! It looks like it's going to be such a wonderful read!
ReplyDeleteHi, Verushka!
DeleteYeah, I have to admit I DO feel that way sometimes, even nowadays! Lol.
Oh, I LOVE your use of the word "glorious"!! What a GRAND word that is!! And yes, I think this book will DEFINITELY be a wonderful read!
Thanks for the nice comment!! <3 :)
I agree that this does sound good. We all love bookstores, right?

ReplyDeleteHi, Ronyell!
DeleteYes, it does, doesn't it? Glad you like it, too!
Thanks for commenting!! <3 :)
Man, I gotta have this one. Someone who prefers books to people - perfect! Although I must add that I prefer my pups to books and people. However, they like to snuggle when I'm reading so it's a win-win. I don't know where you found this one but I'm so glad you shared it. Now I can't wait either!
ReplyDeleteHi, Barb!
DeleteOh, YEAH!!!! And there are STILL days that I do prefer books to people! LOL. Especially when I get an ornery student or co-worker acting up on me at work! :)
If only I had a horse....he (it would have to be a stallion) would give the books some competition!
Awwww.....your pups love to snuggle when you're reading? How sweet!! :) :)
I came across this one while browsing on Amazon. Heck, I'm ALWAYS browsing on Amazon! LOL. I'm glad that now you want this book, too!! :) :)
Thanks for commenting!! HUGS TO YOU & THE BOYS, AND WOOF, WOOF, TO THEM!! <3 <3 <3 :) :) :)
Ha! I prefer books to most people too. :) This sounds really good and it is a great pick!
ReplyDeleteHi, Jenea!
DeleteHahaha!! Yeah, some people can be SO obnoxious, they can make any of us cling to books all the more! :) :) :)
I'm glad you love my pick! I'm sure it will be a GREAT read!!
Thanks for commenting!! <3 :)
YES!!! A mystery about a bookstore HOOK ME UP!! =) This sounds really good. I love the cover. Good pick!

I hope you love this one Maria! I, for one, love when adult novels have a good amount of teen angst in them. :D Thanks for sharing. :)

When I read "Loveday Cardew prefers books to people" I was just like okay so this book is about me? LOL XD
ReplyDeleteHi, Stephanie!
DeleteLOL!!! That's what caught my eye, too!! Well, nowadays, I do have to deal with people, since I teach adults English as a Second Language. But there are days when I DO indeed prefer books to people!! LOL. XD
Thanks for the funny comment!! HUGS!! <3 <3 <3 :) :) :)

This one looks like so much fun - it's bound to appeal to anyone who feels happy and secure in a bookshop - like a lot of us...:) Thank you so much for sharing this one with us, Maria!
ReplyDeleteHi, Sarah!
DeleteOh, DEFINITELY!! I KNOW I'm going to enjoy it! I would LOVE to actually LIVE in a bookshop! LOL. Yeah, I'd have my room in the back, with a little kitchen (I'm not much of a cook, though, lol), plus a bathroom. What MORE could I possibly want out of life? LOL.
