Hello everybody and welcome to The Paper Booklight, my name is Laura Munoz and
today's video is going to be really special
so the channel is one month old now
*Yoo hoo* And as I've said in other videos each month, I will pick a selection of themed
books so for this month, I have picked a really really really meta theme and
there's no better place for a bookworm than bookshops!
and that is what this video is going to be about
so for the first book I have picked a non fiction one
is "Weird things customers say in bookshops" by Jen Campbell
Published by Constable and Robinson and actually you can find it in
Spanish under the name of "Cosas raras que se oyen en las Librerías"
by MalPaso Ediciones
I have to say this book is pure gold especially if you
are a bookselle, like real for real
She's got another one, she's got a second
part it's called "More weird things that customers say in bookshops" I haven't
read it yet but I definitely will read it
and well, Jen Campbell is an author is
a booktuber one of my favourites, I have to say
she's got another one and it's called "The bookshop book"
and it's about bookshops
I really like Jen Campbell's channel I really recommend it
and also she was a Bookseller, so yeah *Joy Face*
one of the latest videos of hers was about LGTBQ+ literature
as a bookseller, I am discovering so many books that I did not know about beforehand and I'm
learning so much from her as well as the other booktubers it's worth the subscribe
and my first fiction pick is "Firmin" by Sam Savage, in the United
Kingdom is published by Orion and you actually can find it in Spanish under
the name of "Firmin, las aventuras de una alimaña urbana" published by Seix Barral
Omg, the plot is fantastic because it's the story of a rat that was
born in a bookshop but the thing is that he is starving, right? He's hungry and
starts chewing books
But the thing doesn't end there as he is chewing these books
he starts acquiring self consciousness
and the knowledge that is in those titles
so you will see like how he will struggle with the city , how will he
struggle with the gentrification: Because the bookshop is going to be bulldozed
and I think he is going to be really interesting to see how will he cope with this
so it's on my To Be Read List, and I'm going with the second one!
So my 2nd pick is "The Little Paris bookshop" by Nina George published by Abacus which
belongs to Little,Brown Book (Hachette)
you can find it in Spanish under a completely
different name, is published by De Bolsillo and it's called
"Sabor a Provenza, un viaje de vuelta a lo mejor de la vida"
which literally translates to "Taste
of Provence, a returning trip to the best of the life"
so this is the story of
Jean Perdu, he is a bookseller he's the owner of a really peculiar bookshop
He's got a really special gift and this is that he can read through
the customers and know exactly what they need
But the thing is he can't help himself and he can't get over of the love of his life
it's a really good story to be read this summer
and I really like the fact that he had a bookshop on a boat
because days later, some days later,
I've seen that there was this guy with a
bookshop in London which was based on a boat
I think his name is Paddy, I will leave you his link here and I really like the story
this would be the perfect book for those who like helping people
this is a book about new beginnings, finishing chapters on your life letting go
but all in a real light-hearted tone so I really really really recommend it
And my third - last but not the least - pick is
Lost for Words by Stephanie Butland I will leave you the cover here
I'm really thrilled to read this book, the cover is really nice I
loved it but also the fact that is set in a bookshop in York
And from what I've seen, I think this is a really good story to be read this summer because this is
not your typical character, indeed she's like a really atypical bookseller
haunted by her past and seeing how she copes with this and how she prefers
books to people makes me wonder like how will she cope with the different
situations that I have been read
So if you liked this video don't forget to subscribe,
give a thumbs up, have a look to my other videos and my social
media accounts and well, I would really like to know what are your favorite
books on bookshops! And see you next week
