Back when I was a Librarian, we lived and breathed by the Publisher's Weekly Bestseller List. It was my responsibility to print or photocopy the list every week and update our bestseller's display. (Also to purchase extra copies of particularly popular bestsellers.)

I haven't looked at the list in YEARS. Some of these surprise me:

A new translation of The Iliad made the list?!

Ken Follett is still alive?? (I looked him up, he's only 74.)

Danielle Steel is still alive?? ( I just looked her up, she's only 76 and has been married five(!) times. To be fair, I also looked up Ken Follett, he's only been married twice.)

I see some Christmas-themed books on the list!

I see a Disney manga! (“The Battle for Pumpkin King”)

REVIEW: The Beach Reads Bookshop by Lee Tobin McClain | Harlequin Junkie | Blogging about Books

The Beach Reads Bookshop by Lee Tobin McClain is the third and final book in the Hometown Brothers series. It is based on three troubled teenage boys who were fostered by Betty and Wayne at their farmhouse on the shoreline of Teaberry Island on Chesapeake Bay. The island provided them with a place to heal and become part of a family. As the boys grew up, they left the island to find their…

THE BEACH READS BOOKSHOP by Lee Tobin McClain

Running a bookstore on a quaint Chesapeake island is exactly the life Deena Clark would have chosen for herself. But helping billionaire businessman Luis Dominguez figure out fatherhood is part of the package. Can bonding over books and one little girl help them open their hearts to each other?

My Review: It's a perfect read if you want to relax and escape to a small island and enjoy a sweet romance. A well plotted story with a cast of interesting characters, second chances and finding what you really want. I enjoyed Luis and Deena's story and how they evolve. Deena ia well plotted and strong character, ready to change for love of a child and finding happiness. Carol is a woman who is being mistreated by life as she lost her job and discovered that her husband wanted to divorce in the same week. I can say she was very lucky to divorce as the husband was an old guy who was faking illness. The plot is well developed and flows keeping you turning pages. It's a bit predictable but I loved the island and enjoyed the story. Recommended. Many thanks to HQN for this arc, all opinions are mine

The Author: Lee Tobin McClain is the bestselling author of more than thirty emotional, small-town romances described by Publishers' Weekly as enthralling, intense, and heartfelt. A dog lover and proud mom, she often includes kids and animals in her books. When she's not writing, she enjoys hiking with her goofy goldendoodle, chatting online with her writer friends, and admiring her daughter's mastery of the latest TikTok dances.

genuine curiosity but what was the book!

The Bluebird Bakery by Lee Tobin McClain!

I'm a huge fan of cheesy romance novels (the majority of the books I own are romance novels) but it was just very underwhelming and the emotional beats just fell flat which is a shame because the premise of it is really good and it could've been really fun and interesting!

Author Tobin McClain Talks about Her New Release

Q: When did you decide to become a writer? I always thought it would be cool to be a writer, but since I didn’t know anyone who wrote fiction–let alone made a living at it–it took until my late twenties before I gained the confidence to try my hand at writing romance. I was quickly hooked!  Q: What inspired you to create your novel, The Bluebird Bakery?  Taylor, the heroine of the story, was q…
