The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin captures the joy of connecting people and books. You see, A.J. Fikry’s life is not at all what he expected it to be. He lives alone, his bookstore is experiencing the worst sales in its history, and now his prized possession, a rare collection of Poe poems, has been stolen. But when a mysterious package appears at the bookstore, its unexpected arrival gives Fikry the chance to make his life over — and see everything anew. I especially reccommend this book for bibliophiles, book clubs and those who are grieving. Also worth noting? This book is now a major motion picture featuring Lucy Hale and Kunal Nayyar!
