The Banned Bookshop of Maggie Banks
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
I, Maggie Banks, solemnly swear to uphold the rules of Cobblestone Books.
If only, I, Maggie Banks, cared about following the rules.
When Maggie Banks arrives to run her best friend's struggling bookstore, she expects to sell bestsellers to the small-town clientele. But with the town on the map as a top literary destination and the tourist society bent on keeping businesses historic, Maggie is banned from selling anything written this century. So, when a series of mishaps suddenly tip the bookstore toward ruin, Maggie will have to get creative to keep the shop afloat.
And in Maggie's world, bookish rules are made to be broken.
To help save the store, Maggie starts an underground book club—a series of events celebrating the books readers actually love. But keeping the club quiet, selling her customers the books they want, and dodging the historical society is nearly impossible. Especially when Maggie unearths a town secret that could upend everything.
Maggie will have to decide what's more important to her—the books that formed a small town's history, or the stories poised to change it all.

December 1, 2022
Bibliophile Robinson (Must Love Books) brings her book-loving readers into another book-centered story, making room for all readers, no matter their reading preference. Hapless but good-hearted Maggie arrives in Bell River to take over the local bookstore for her friend on maternity leave. It all sounds wonderfully exciting until she discovers the rules of the "Bell Society": no contemporary novels, no books not available during hometown literary icon Edward Bell's lifetime, and no questioning the character of said author. As an outsider, Maggie lacks the unquestioning devotion to the town's beloved author, angering the Bell Society management. Versatile narrator Imani Jade Powers relates Maggie's words evenly and calmly, bringing out her thought processes and motivations as she searches for a way to save the foundering bookshop. Maggie begins to secretly hold fun genre-themed events and starts an online presence that skyrockets the bookstore's profitability, but at what cost? Despite toxic Bell Society issues, Maggie finds herself making friends and falling in love with her adopted small town. VERDICT An uplifting small-town romance with broader appeal.--Laura Trombley

- content: Imani Jade Powers narrates a charming story about the power of books. Maggie Banks comes to Bell River to help her best friend during her maternity leave but ends up changing the town forever. Powers is a delight as Maggie, taking impish delight in Maggie's tendency to blurt out wildly inappropriate things for a laugh or to fill a silence. She also captures Maggie's vulnerable side, such as when she worries about being a failure for not having a defined career path. While secondary characters are not always fully fleshed out, they are always easily distinguishable, the most memorable being grumpy upstairs neighbor Vernon. A delightful performance by Powers.
