I enjoyed this lovely book The Collected Works of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin. A widowed book store owner, A.J. Fikry, makes most of his money during the summer tourist season on his island. He has become lonely and at times cantankerous but his life changes when a baby girl is left in his bookshop. He adopts the girl and she grows up to be an intelligent and avid reader. Each chapter of the book begins with a note to his daughter about a book and its merits. To say any more would spoil the story for readers. This is a really good read, especially for book lovers and lovers of real book shops. 5/5
