Currently Reading: The Little Paris Bookshop and Dead Boy Detectives vol #2

Here are two books that I can't wait to start reading. I love the premise for The Little Paris Bookshop because I do feel like there is a book for every situation. Now for the Dead Boy Detectives vol #2, I'm finally going to read the last six issues of this wonderful yet cancelled series.

Description:

Monsieur Perdu can prescribe the perfect book for a broken heart. But can he fix his own? 

Monsieur Perdu calls himself a literary apothecary. From his floating bookstore in a barge on the Seine, he prescribes novels for the hardships of life. Using his intuitive feel for the exact book a reader needs, Perdu mends broken hearts and souls. The only person he can't seem to heal through literature is himself; he's still haunted by heartbreak after his great love disappeared. She left him with only a letter, which he has never opened.

After Perdu is finally tempted to read the letter, he hauls anchor and departs on a mission to the south of France, hoping to make peace with his loss and discover the end of the story. Joined by a bestselling but blocked author and a lovelorn Italian chef, Perdu travels along the country’s rivers, dispensing his wisdom and his books, showing that the literary world can take the human soul on a journey to heal itself.

Internationally bestselling and filled with warmth and adventure, The Little Paris Bookshop is a love letter to books, meant for anyone who believes in the power of stories to shape people's lives.

Description:
