For the Love of Books: Stories of Literary Lives, Banned Books, Author Feuds, Extraordinary Characters, and More by Graham Tarrant

5.0

If like me, you’re obsessed with literature and maybe even have a library in your home, this book is for you. Fascinating facts from all walks of life fill the pages causing readers to become immersed in the world of literature we've only dreamed of being a part of.

Literary Landscapes: Charting the Worlds of Classic Literature by John Sutherland

5.0

Be prepared to stop every few minutes to order another book on Amazon. Each book’s essay will bring you deeper into the world of literature and intrigue you into wanting to read the whole book.

If you’re interested in the way the world molds literature, this book is for you. If you’re interested in travel, in-depth information, or literary locales, I’d skip to a different book. Each novel receives 1-2 pages of explanation on how the author used a known location to create a literary one.

The Saturday Night Ghost Club by Craig Davidson

5.0

Came for the familial ties to the Niagara area and stayed for the enthralling reminders of youth. I know the areas and locales written about throughout the novel and having that connection pulled me back into wanting to have had my own Saturday Nigh Ghost Club at that age.

Even if you’re not familiar with the Niagara area, you’ll still be pulled into Jake’s story and those of the people he cares for. You’ll stay for the scares and the twist ending that’ll leave you up way past bedtime to finish.

The Last Night on the Titanic: Unsinkable Drinking, Dining, and Style by Veronica Hinke

5.0

Mixing history with recipes for (let’s be honest) food we’ll probably never really eat, draws readers into the past. Imagine the extravagance of being a part of the Titanic’s passengers and lasting history.

The Beach House by Beth Reekles

5.0

If you’re a fan of the movie, fair warning that this book focuses more on Lee and Elle than Noah and Elle. But for a simple novella follow-up, it’s entertaining, simplistic, and endearing. We all have that one summertime memory or place that always holds a special part of our heart. This novella will bring you right back.

Shakespeare's Library: Unlocking the Greatest Mystery in Literature by Stuart Kells

4.0

If in-depth literary research and Shakespearean history is something you’re interested in (like me) then this book is for you. If not, I’d suggest skipping it, as there are many chapters with tangents that would probably bore those who don’t spend all their time researching literature.

Literary Places by Sarah Baxter

5.0

Both Baxter’s writings and Grimes’ artwork are beautiful works. You’ll be drawn into the world of literature and itching to read each book as you stare at the vividly bright paintings and read the reasons that Baxter chooses each of these 25 stories as some of the best literary places in history. So grab your maps and dive into the vast world of literature.
