Love, Love, Love
I cannot thank BookBrowse and NetGalley enough for this gift - my favorite ARC to date.
What a beautiful book. It is about loss, but really, it is about what is found. Tilly’s grief overwhelms her, until she realizes that living her life is not a betrayal of the love she lost, but instead a tribute to it.
I loved the characters and their flaws, the relationships Tilly had as well as those she made through her adventures (the Parisians were among my favorite parts) and how books were the ribbon that ties it all together.
Can’t wait for the rest of the world to get the chance to read Tilly’s story, and make it part of their adventures.

Elizabeth@Silver's Reviews - Sweetest read ever and uplifting
Tilly gets a call from a bookstore telling her she has a book ready to pick up, but she doesn't understand because she didn't buy a book.
The bookstore owner suggested that she stop in so he can explain.
What a surprise!! Her husband who had passed has surprise books scheduled to be delivered to Tilly every month for an entire year.
Tilly wants all the books, but the bookstore owner said he promised that he would only give them out one month at a time.
The books have a note from her husband that makes Tilly feel he is right there with her. Each book has something to help her get back into reading and to help herself cope.
This was the sweetest read. I was excited to see what book was next for Tilly and what adventure Joe wanted her to experience.
If you need an uplifting book with wonderful characters, please read this book.
You will get many book recommendations and also visit the Library Hotel in Manhattan.
The cover is as adorable as the book. 5/5
Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

This Book Made Me Think of You - a heartwarming tale
This Book Made Me Think of You is a love letter to bookstores and readers. Tilly is surprised to receive a gift from her husband months after he passes. Each month for one year he planned for Tilly to receive a thoughtfully chosen book from her local bookstore. I laughed, I cried, I journeyed beside Tilly as I flew through the pages. Filled with charm, hope, and many book mentions for your TBR. What a delight to read!

This Book Made Me Think of You
This Book Made Me Think of You was a delightful read. The concept was very different and very well done. One year of books her recently deceased husband thinks will inspire her gave her a reason to step back into a bookstore. Apparently, he was right because she went from total avoidance of life, including her favorite hobby of reading, to looking forward to her monthly visits to pick up her book. What an adventure she goes on and takes the reader (and some friends) with her. The book was very romantic and resembled a Hallmark movie (my favorite holiday pastime) and what better time of year to have read it! I will tell my friends about it though this time I got an eBook so can't pass it on like I typically would.

A Life Journey
When I started reading this book, it made me think of one of my favorite movies, P.S. I Love You and I couldn't wait to see how Tilly's story would end. In the midst of grief, Tilly learns to find joy in reading again thanks to a special gift her husband ordered for her before he died. It is a book about how books can change your life but it is also about Tilly's journey through her grief as she finds strength and joy in learning to live again. I loved reading Tilly's story.

This Book Made Me Think of You
Tilly is rocked by grief after the loss of her beloved soulmate and wanders into a book store that will hold many surprises that evolve over the course of a year! Including a year of books curated by her late spouse to help her grow and continue with life. The author has presented the stages of grief Tilly has a gone thru as well as that of the secondary protagonist Allie who owns the bookstore. I found myself crying at times, laughing, and always cheering Tilly on. I often identified with her on her journey. A very good comfortable read!
