Read by Scott Brick.
The irascible A. J. Fikry, owner of Island Books, has already lost his wife. Now his most prized possession, a rare book, has been stolen from right under his nose. One night upon closing, he discovers a toddler in his children's section with a note from her mother saying she can no longer raise her. It doesn't take long for the locals to notice the transformation of both bookstore and owner, especially to the lovely yet eccentric sales rep, Amelia Loman.

As a once-bookseller, how could I not love this book.
AJ is smart, crotchety, and a widower.
Nothing goes smoothly for him.
You want a happy ending... and the ending you get makes you smile through watery eyes.
C'mon A2, you'll love this one.
