This book has been on my radar for so long and after reading it I regret putting it down for so long. Though sad in places, it’s wonderfully uplifting, charming, and funny, and if you haven’t read it, I urge you to; especially if you enjoyed books like The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend, The Guernsey Literary, 84 Charing Cross Road and Potato Peel Pie Society.

At first, AJ seemed like a prickly and unpleasant character, but as you get to know him, you will discover that he only protects himself and that he really does have a heart of gold. All of the supporting characters play important roles, and none of them feel like filler, which I liked. Honestly, I don’t think I disliked any of them, which is weird.

What also really stands out is the author’s love of books and how well read she is to have the mini-analysis and impart those little pearls of wisdom at the beginning of each chapter. These are, in a way, constantly connected to the main character’s daughter, and when she grows up, that’s really sweet.

Occasionally corny, but I think any book lover will take Island Books and its owners and customers to their hearts and think of them long after the last page is turned.

I thoroughly enjoyed this deceptively simple story. I found him full of wisdom and human insight. Yes, it tells the story of independent bookseller A.J. Vikry, and he does it with warmth and compassion. We heard about its triumphs, its weaknesses, and its tragedies, and I think the author would compel most readers to share all of this with him, whether he’s raising a child with Google, his co-parent, or finally have the courage to do it. propose to his love.

But this book has more to offer, although “that” would have been enough for me. Another reviewer commented on Vikry’s observation that people respond differently to different types of literature at different stages of their lives. Vikry says that he used to prefer full books, but now he enjoys short stories more, and I think that statement is key to another aspect of this work.

Vikry’s life parallels the modern history of the independent bookstore. When he falls ill, the big bookstores everywhere take the place of the small bookstores. The people of the island are proud of the prominent place that the bookstore occupies on the main street. They see it as evidence of the intellectual life of the island. Yes, it sells books, but it’s also a community meeting place and home to ten different reading groups. But how many of these little bookstores still survive?

Vikry dies before his time; his entire narrative becomes a short story, and the bookstore nearly died with him. And what happens when the older, childless couple he finally takes over can no longer manage it? If this book is a compliment to A.J. Vikry, is one for his local bookstore, a place of death that many of us mourn as much as A.J.

I took this book with me on my trip because it had a story about a bookstore owner that I hope to one day become. I have never heard of the author, but I will always try an author and a book. There are only a few words to say about this book:

I’M LOVIN ‘IT!!! I LOVE ME!!!! and I love it!!!!

A.J. Fikry is a lonely (his wife died two years earlier), quarrelsome and cantankerous owner of Island Books on Alice Island. Sales have plummeted and one of the most expensive books in his shop, Edgar Allan Poe’s Tamerlane, has been stolen. He has given up the shop, the people in the small community, and the love of books in his shop and in his heart.

His books are how he lived his life. Your life experiences, relationships with bookstores, books and in some cases if you really like your work, authors, that’s really what I’m made of. A life where, when you read a book, you either live it or live it. You talk, walk, breathe, sing your day based on the book you just finished reading or remember reading years ago.

It becomes part of your memory when you meet someone or something, you point to a book that influenced your life and that’s how A.J. Fikry lived his life. Life sucks for A.J. and I really understand why, but one day, out of the blue, a small package arrives at his store, an over-the-top, eccentric news anchor calls, and a police chief who doesn’t read much until he’s forced, not really forced, just wanted on A.J. watch out, he became a savior and friend.

Every word, every spell, every side story brings you closer to one book and another book and another. Inter Wind in every character, especially A.J., is life in a bookstore or life in and out of a book. You will laugh, cry, be angry and love bookstores, especially independent ones, over and over again. I literally cried when I finished this book, not because of anything good or bad that happened in the book, but because I wanted to read more about each of the characters and see how their lives unfold in the future.
