Top 5 Books about Books

Hello my lovely readers. In the UK it’s Bank Holiday Monday and half-term so I hope your all enjoying it and the weather. It’s meant to be lovely and sunny. I hope. I will be spending it by finishing The Paper and Hearts Society: Read with Pride. Which falls nicely into today’s post. This is another Booked-In series book list. Being a librarian and a lover of books, of course, I also love reading about them. So I thought I’d put together a list of books that are abut books. I’ve spilt it into my my Top 5 I’ve read and Top 5 on my TBR. I really hope you enjoy it and please recommend me any in the comments. 🙂

Top 5 Favourite Books about Books

 

The Paper & Hearts Society (The Paper & Hearts Society #1) by Lucy Powrie
Published by Hodder Children's Books on June 19, 2019
Genres: Contemporary
Amazon | Book Depository | Waterstones
Goodreads

A brand new series from Booktuber Lucy Powrie - about what happens when you give up on trying to fit in and let your weird out! It's time to join The Paper & Hearts Society ...
Tabby Brown is tired of trying to fit in. She doesn't want to go to parties - in fact, she would much rather snuggle up on the sofa with her favourite book.
It's like she hasn't found her people ...
Then Tabby joins a club that promises to celebrate books. What could go wrong? EVERYTHING - especially when making new friends brings out an AWKWARD BUZZING feeling all over her body.
But Olivia, Cassie, Henry and Ed have something that makes Tabby come back. Maybe it's the Austen-themed fancy-dress parties, or Ed's fluffy cat Mrs Simpkins, or could it be Henry himself ...
Can Tabby let her weird out AND live THE BEST BOOKISH LIFE POSSIBLE?
Perfect for fans of Holly Smale and Super Awkward.

As you know I’m currently reading book 2 and I honestly love this series. It’s like Lucy get’s it, get’s me and so relatable. | Review

The Library of the Unwritten (Hell's Library #1) by A.J. Hackwith
Published by Titan Books on October 1, 2019
Genres: Fantasy
Amazon | Book Depository | Waterstones
Goodreads

In the first book in a brilliant new fantasy series, books that aren't finished by their authors reside in the Library of the Unwritten in Hell, and it is up to the Librarian to track down any restless characters who emerge from those unfinished stories.
Many years ago, Claire was named Head Librarian of the Unwritten Wing—a neutral space in Hell where all the stories unfinished by their authors reside. Her job consists mainly of repairing and organizing books, but also of keeping an eye on restless stories that risk materializing as characters and escaping the library. When a Hero escapes from his book and goes in search of his author, Claire must track and capture him with the help of former muse and current assistant Brevity and nervous demon courier Leto.
But what should have been a simple retrieval goes horrifyingly wrong when the terrifyingly angelic Ramiel attacks them, convinced that they hold the Devil's Bible. The text of the Devil's Bible is a powerful weapon in the power struggle between Heaven and Hell, so it falls to the librarians to find a book with the power to reshape the boundaries between Heaven, Hell ... and Earth.

I reviewed this earlier this year and it’s kickass librarians in hell’s library. It’s so good, like a library version of Lucifer. | Review

The Upside of Falling by Alex Light
Published by HarperTeen on February 18, 2020
Genres: Contemporary
Amazon | Book Depository | Waterstones
Goodreads

It’s been years since seventeen-year-old Becca Hart believed in true love. But when her former best friend teases her for not having a boyfriend, Becca impulsively pretends she’s been secretly seeing someone.
Brett Wells has it all. Being captain of the football team and one of the most popular guys in school, he should have no problem finding someone to date, but he’s always been more focused on his future than who to bring to prom. When he overhears Becca’s lie, Brett decides to step in and be her mystery guy. It’s the perfect solution: he gets people off his back for not dating and she can keep up the ruse.
Acting like the perfect couple isn’t easy though, especially when you barely know the other person. But with Becca still picking up the pieces from when her world was blown apart years ago and Brett just barely holding his together now, they begin to realize they have more in common than they ever could have imagined. When the line between real and pretend begins to blur, they are forced to answer the question: is this fake romance the realest thing in either of their lives?

The Book Box Club February pick and I devoured this. Romantic, cute and being a romantic outside of her books. | Review

Tilly and the Bookwanderers by Anna James
Published by HarperCollinsChildren’sBooks on June 27, 2019
Genres: Middle Grade
Amazon | Book Depository | Waterstones
Goodreads

A magical adventure to delight the imagination. A curl-up-on-the-sofa debut from a uniquely talented author.
Eleven year-old Tilly has lived above her grandparents' bookshop ever since her mother disappeared shortly after she was born. Like the rest of her family, Tilly loves nothing more than to escape into the pages of her favourite stories.
One day Tilly realises that classic children's characters are appearing in the shop through the magic of `book wandering' - crossing over from the page into real life.
With the help of Anne of Green Gables and Alice in Wonderland. Tilly is determined to solve the mystery of what happened to her mother all those years ago, so she bravely steps into the unknown, unsure of what adventure lies ahead and what dangers she may face.

I’ve only read the first book after meeting Anna at event, but I honestly escaped into this book. A family that can book wander through books.

Unconventional by Maggie Harcourt

Lexi Angelo has grown up helping her dad with his events business. She likes to stay behind the scenes, planning and organizing...until author Aidan Green - messy haired and annoyingly arrogant - arrives unannounced at the first event of the year. Then Lexi's life is thrown into disarray.
In a flurry of late-night conversations, mixed messages and butterflies, Lexi discovers that some things can't be planned. Things like falling in love...

 

 

So I forgot about this, but this was one of favourites a few years ago. A girl who runs a book conventions meet and falls in love with her favourite author.
