About This Book

{Amazon}

Sarah Dove is no ordinary bookworm. To her, books have always been more than just objects: they live, they breathe, and sometimes they even speak. When Sarah grows up to become the librarian in her quaint Southern town of Dove Pond, her gift helps place every book in the hands of the perfect reader. Recently, however, the books have been whispering about something out of the ordinary: the arrival of a displaced city girl named Grace Wheeler.

If the books are right, Grace could be the savior that Dove Pond desperately needs. The problem is, Grace wants little to do with the town or its quirky residents—Sarah chief among them. It takes a bit of urging, and the help of an especially wise book, but Grace ultimately embraces the challenge to rescue her charmed new community. In her quest, she discovers the tantalizing promise of new love, the deep strength that comes from having a true friend, and the power of finding just the right book.

I fell in love with the book cover for The Book Charmer by Karen Hawkins the minute I saw it and I'm so pleased to be able to share that this book far surpassed it's cover!  
The story is charming, emotionally engaging and a delightful read. It has a wonderful blend of family, friendships, books, romance, challenges and of course, a bit of magic. I was captivated  and immediately fell in love with this well written story, it's characters and delightfully charming town.

I am not sure if there will be sequels but I sincerely hope so as I would love to re-visit this charming place and people again and again!
