This month’s LWD Book Club selection, The Echo of Old Books, is one I’m really looking forward to reading. It was a birthday gift from my “bonus daughter and son-in-law” and it sounds like something right up my alley. Even the picture on the book cover gives me happy vibes. It reminds me of a used book store I love browsing in New Orleans.

The Echo of Old Books
by Barbara Davis
I love bookstores of all sorts but there is truly something special about a used bookstore. I love the way they smell and imagining who held and enjoyed those books before me. Throw in a mystery and tragic romance and you can see why I’m eager to dive into this one, right?
The Echo of Old Books
Rare-book dealer Ashlyn Greer’s affinity for books extends beyond the intoxicating scent of old paper, ink, and leather. She can feel the echoes of the books’ previous owners―an emotional fingerprint only she can read. When Ashlyn discovers a pair of beautifully bound volumes that appear to have never been published, her gift quickly becomes an obsession. Not only is each inscribed with a startling incrimination, but the authors, Hemi and Belle, tell conflicting sides of a tragic romance.
With no trace of how these mysterious books came into the world, Ashlyn is caught up in a decades-old literary mystery, beckoned by two hearts in ruins, whoever they were, wherever they are. Determined to learn the truth behind the doomed lovers’ tale, she reads on, following a trail of broken promises and seemingly unforgivable betrayals. The more Ashlyn learns about Hemi and Belle, the nearer she comes to bringing closure to their love story―and to the unfinished chapters of her own life.
