The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians: True Stories of the Magic of Reading by Matt Eversmann, James Patterson

5.0

4.5! Loved this one. Two things I wish... 1. There was more diversity in stories (lots of similar stories about getting through Covid, getting their first job at a book store, advocating for books to not be censored in schools, etc. and 2. The shoutouts to the author for donating money to their businesses felt a little forced and obligatory. Other than those two things, LOVE LOVE LOVED. I would have loved to hear more about book collectors and maybe more start-up indie book shop stories.
