It has been said that we are the average of the five people we surround ourselves with. But what if I said you were the average of the last 5 books you read? What would your book stack say about you if it could talk?

Today, I’m sharing a collection of books that would say you LOVE to read books about books, bookstores, libraries, authors and bookish people. It’s perfect timing to celebrate National Reading Month, but any time is a good time to read about books…and spark us to read more of them.

You’ll find a few mentions of my favorite, a deeper dive into three books I’ve never shared and a couple books about books on my own personal TBR, too.

Here are the books mentioned in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon and Bookshop affiliate stores below. Thanks for your bookish support!
