Happy Tuesday! This week’s prompt is a joy. It’s all about bookish characters. I chose to focus on books in which the main character(s) is a professional book pusher — one who gets paid to get someone to read. (As opposed to those of us who just do it for fun. 🙂 ) Basically booksellers and librarians. I am currently listening to The Librarian of Saint-Malo by Mario Escobar. It is riveting, and naturally it is on my list. With the variety of genres represented, I hope you find a book to pique your interest.
For more lists of bookish characters, check out That Artsy Reader Girl.
Top Professional Book Pushers
Bloomsbury Girls by Natalie Jenner

Hidden Among The Stars by Melanie Dobson

Wonderful list.
Wonderland Creek is an absolute favorite. I’ll have to check out a few more of these.
If you like cozy mysteries, the Miss Zukas series is great. Miss Zukas is hilarious in all her seriousness.
There are several of these I have not read. Thanks for sharing The Librarian of Saint-Malo with us.
I am currently reading Escobar’s book. It is excellent.
I dream of becoming a librarian! If only there were more full-time jobs in it with benefits. It seems like such a neat line of work.

I wish that’s what I had pursued too.
Nice list! I haven’t read any of them, but I will have to now!
I recently bought Crime and Poetry and look forward to reading it. I loved The Secrets of Paper and Ink and The Printed Letter Bookshop. Great list!
Ooh I’m really excited for Bloomsbury Girls, it sounds so good!
