The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians: Their stories are better than the bestsellers by Matt Eversmann, James Patterson

funny informative inspiring reflective

5.0

As a bookseller myself, this brings me back so many memories that I'm now sharing on my Threads at Johnnysbookreviews. 

Matt Eversmann interviewed booksellers and librarians. Compiled those interviews into stories. Then James Patterson edited those stories and sent those stories to his publisher.

Matt and James have done three other books together over E. R. Nurses, military personnel, and police officers.

Those books are named E. R. Nurses, Walk In My Combat Boots, and Walk The Blue Line. If you haven’t read these, you definitely should. You don’t have to read them cover to cover. If you want, you can read several stories that spark your interest. I think of these books more as fifty individual short stories in a collective book. You don’t have to read each story. 

📚 Finished Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians by James Patterson and Matt Eversmann. It has stories of booksellers who work for: 
- Books-A-Million (2nd largest bookstore company in the US and one of the oldest) 
- Barnes (Number 1 bookstore in the US and also one of the oldest) 
- Indigo (Biggest bookstore in Canada) 
- Indie bookstores 
- Judy Blumes bookstore 
- Librarians at large public libraries as well as school libraries 
👉 Pretty great book. Actually, one of my favorite reads ever. Comes out next Monday on April 8th. Get your copy at the bookstore or pre-order it.
