Sorry to keep you all waiting for the new arrivals, but we promise these were worth the wait!

💗 A quick reminder: We will not have romance books on display at Saturday’s event out of respect for another amazing local book vendor who specializes in romance. We love supporting fellow small businesses, and we hope you’ll stop by and check her out too! Forced Proximity: A Romance Bookshop

A little behind-the-scenes from The Blooming Book Shop…

One thing that is important to Abby and me (Ashlee) is making sure we’re bringing books to our shelves that our readers will love. We know every reader is different-even the two of us! We enjoy different genres and we even have different expectations for specific genres. That’s what makes reading so nice. There is something for everyone!

Before we bring books in, we spend a lot of time researching authors, upcoming releases, and reader feedback so we can have something for everyone. We also love hearing directly from you! If there’s an author, series, or upcoming release you’d like us to carry, please let us know. We’ll keep an eye out and do our best to bring it to the shop.

Another exciting way we’re able to help our customers is by becoming ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) readers. This gives us the opportunity to read certain books before they’re released so we can provide honest recommendations and help direct you to a book that is right for you.

I’m so grateful to NetGalley, Kensington Publishing, and Simon & Schuster gifting me these upcoming releases! 🤍

🍂 Trust Fall by Lynn Painter (releasing this September) is a cute, cozy fall romance.

🔎 Behind Every Face by Charlie Donlea (releasing next January) is an intense thriller about a woman in the witness protection program whose new life begins to unravel.

I am so excited to share my full reviews with you soon!
Do you have any upcoming release you are excited for?

Calling all of our dark thriller lovers! 🖤

Have you read any of Jennifer Hillier’s books?
If not, respectfully, what are you waiting for?!?!
She is SO good!

⚠️ Also, again, please do your own research on all of the books we post and check for trigger warnings if you have them.

This is a very dark and disturbing thriller.
It is thee perfect dark thriller for summer time because it is based in an amusement park. 🎡

Jennifer Hillier also has a new book, Heart of Glass, coming out in August that we will be getting for our shelves! We CANNOT wait for that one!
