Books by Laurie Gilmore

Fiction books with storefronts - such as bookshops, cafes, libraries, and more - on the front cover. The story usually revolves around the establishment on the cover. I have not read all of these, and recommendations are welcome!

• you know those books with the cutest little cafés, bakeries, and storefronts on their covers? 🥐 i keep spotting them in bookstores, and i can't walk past them without taking a peek!
• if you've read any of these, tell me which ones are worth visiting. or better yet, let's read one together! ♡

disclaimer: i haven't read all of these yet, so consider this an official storefront reading wishlist!

Books I've read that feel perfect for when you don't want to deal with heavy plots or unexpected twists! Just sit down with a nice cup of tea and breeze through these books that some people might say are "basic" and "uninspiring". Girl sometimes I just want a nice light romance read I don't have to use braincells for.
