Kelli suggests . . . Finlay Dovovan is Killing It book coverFinlay Donovan is killing it (2021)
by Elle Cosimano 

A single mom trying to make ends meet accidentally accepts a contract to kill somebody. This book is hilarious with really charming characters. It is the perfect book to read in a hammock or on a beach, when you don't want anything making demands on you, especially your book.

Kadie recommends . . . The Little Paris Bookshop book coverThe Little Paris Bookshop (2015)
by Nina George 

Monsieur Perdu runs a bookshop from a barge called the Literary Apothecary, which is moored on the River Seine in Paris. His gift is the ability to sense the type of book that would be helpful for his patrons, and he prescribes literature as a doctor would dole out medicine. The tale really takes off when we learn of his inability to find solace for his grief over losing someone special, and what happens when he meets someone new and needs to clear the ghosts of the past to move forward with his life. Adventure ensues, with a spontaneous river trip to Provence, delightful descriptions of characters and places he visits along the way, and a charming finale. This book is almost as good as a trip to France! Pairs well with a nice Côtes du Rhône wine.
