About this listen

I, Maggie Banks, solemnly swear to uphold the rules of Cobblestone Books.

If only, I, Maggie Banks, cared about following the rules.

When Maggie Banks arrives to run her best friend's struggling bookstore, she expects to sell bestsellers to the small-town clientele. But with the town on the map as a top literary destination and the tourist society bent on keeping businesses historic, Maggie is banned from selling anything written this century. So, when a series of mishaps suddenly tip the bookstore toward ruin, Maggie will have to get creative to keep the shop afloat.

And in Maggie's world, bookish rules are made to be broken.

To help save the store, Maggie starts an underground book club—a series of events celebrating the books readers actually love. But keeping the club quiet, selling her customers the books they want, and dodging the historical society is nearly impossible. Especially when Maggie unearths a town secret that could upend everything.

Maggie will have to decide what's more important to her—the books that formed a small town's history, or the stories poised to change it all.

Maggie is in search of herself. She should have realized that she was an event planner.

This was a typical RomCom book. I could see it on as a Hallmark movie. But I enjoyed it for what it was. The audio needs editing, there is a production error on my version at the end of chapter 31(book) 33(audiobook) where the narrator forgets to turn off her microphone and you can hear her moving around.

Simple RomCom nothing more nothing less

Thought there’d be more on banned books and less on romance. I wanted to shout out to the protagonist so many times! “Don’t lie again!” “Get someone else in your corner!” “Open your own bookstore!” Etc., etc. As usual, way too easily wrapped up in the end.

This is my first book by the author. Relatable story for those transitioning in careers. I am looking forward to reading the author's other books!

Great story of friendship, building community, finding love, and pushing beyond our comfort zones.

I really enjoyed listening. The moments of not knowing what Maggie would do to. Most importantly to me, was her realizing she did not have to follow the narrow path of life that others did but rather it can go any direction you choose to and it’s okay. The romance and relationships she built were amazing. A great listen!

I wanted more from the story, it just felt like the story was thin. it was kind of a journey to self book, but I felt like she never really got there.

Also, I liked the narrator but I think it needed more mixing and post production work. I could hear every breath she took and I could also hear pages turning.

Good Story

Fun little whimsical story with just the right about of tension, protagonist frustration, twists, and suspended belief.

Pleasant Read

I loved it! Fun, nostalgic, interesting, and neat characters! If you are looking for an easy, fall-themed listen this is definitely your book!

Cozy Autum read

It's a nice simple story, but I got mad at the protagonist.
Also, somewhere around chapter 32, one can hear the reader drinking something and sighing . That was distracting.
It's a nice small-town story. we'll constructed. We'll defined chracters.

Nice story

I really enjoyed this audiobook. The story was creative and fun, characters had nice depth and variety and the whole thing was quite engaging. Perfect book for a road trip or beach read.

Great book to listen to!
