Have you ever wondered why you love to read? Reading is an adventure into your own imagination and feelings. Good books make you feel the emotions of the characters. As you enter their world in the literary piece you should be enjoying the experience. Turning each page ready for the next exciting moment. I lose myself in books. Have always done that. I am a self-professed reading addict. And I have favorite authors whose works have become treasured.
Jodi Thomas is one of those. As you enter THE WILD LAVENDER BOOKSHOP you can’t help wondering which character is going to be the best. Which one you will enjoy the most or possibly identify with? The actual bookshop is a character. It has a presence and is important as a cog in this small town. Its owner seems to be a fixture in his shop and the town. His life at first looks almost lonely but that is just an illusion. Noah O’Brien is living the life he wanted. He divorced himself from his parents’ expectations. Noah is an observer. And in THE WILD LAVENDER BOOKSHOP, Jodi Thomas starts giving us a glimpse into just how wonderful this man is.
Another fabulous character is Bear Buchanan. Everyone calls him Bear but he would rather have his real name back. His life seems routine. With two grown daughters, it appears as if Bear has his life mapped out for him. And then we get a look at the real Bear, and it is magical.
The main character is Andi who came to this small town to search for brothers she didn’t know she had. Upon the death of her long-estranged father, Andi is faced with the task of locating them and protecting them from possible danger. Andi is an independent adult but in this small town she awakens a part of herself she would never acknowledge exists.
THE WILD LAVENDER BOOKSHOP is a foray into lives that are miles apart from what they seem. Jodi Thomas brings each one to life right before your eyes. Dialogs are bright, funny, and heartwarming. Lots of action and discovery. A wondrously written page-turner. Vintage Jodi Thomas.
The New York Times bestselling author’s Honey Creek and Someday Valley novels, set in small-town Texas and featuring an “inviting setting and quirky, good-hearted characters” (Publishers Weekly) feature slow-burning romance and sweetly satisfying stories that are perfect for fans of Robyn Carr, Susan Mallery, Susan Wiggs, and Debbie Macomber. The trees that circle Someday Valley’s downtown of Honey Creek are dressed in their fall finest, providing a pretty backdrop for the local businesses—including the little bookshop loved by schoolteacher Cora Lee Buchanan. There in the cafe, under the watchful eye of owner Noah O’Brien, Cora Lee and her sister, Katherine, meet each Wednesday. Their talk mostly revolves around one subject: their father, known to everyone in town as Bear.
Both Cora Lee and Katherine believe it’s time Bear found love again, and they’re compiling a list of prospects in a secret notebook. They’ve no idea Bear is aware of their plan—or that he has a secret of his own. As for the sisters, Katherine, beautiful and self-absorbed, is in search of her third husband, while Cora Lee is in love for the first time. On warm nights, she climbs up to her building’s roof to chat with Noah and listen to the melody of the water below. Yet there is more intrigue afoot in Honey Creek . . .
Andy Delane has arrived in town to hear the last wishes of the father she never met. She was shocked to get a letter from lawyer Jackson Landry, and has few expectations—of this mysterious will, or of Landry’s skill . . . But fall always brings changes, and this year there will be enough to alter not just the lives of those who call Honey Creek home, but the future of Someday Valley itself . . .
