Synopsis: New York Times bestselling author Karen Hawkins crafts an unforgettable story about a sleepy Southern town, two fiercely independent women, and a truly magical friendship.
Sarah Dove is no ordinary bookworm. To her, books have always been more than just objects: they live, they breathe, and sometimes they even speak. When Sarah grows up to become the librarian in her quaint Southern town of Dove Pond, her gift helps place every book in the hands of the perfect reader. Recently, however, the books have been whispering about something out of the ordinary: the arrival of a displaced city girl named Grace Wheeler.
If the books are right, Grace could be the savior that Dove Pond desperately needs. The problem is, Grace wants little to do with the town or its quirky residents—Sarah chief among them. It takes a bit of urging, and the help of an especially wise book, but Grace ultimately embraces the challenge to rescue her charmed new community. In her quest, she discovers the tantalizing promise of new love, the deep strength that comes from having a true friend, and the power of finding just the right book.
“A mesmerizing fusion of the mystical and the everyday” (Susan Andersen, New York Times bestselling author), The Book Charmer is a heartwarming story about the magic of books that feels more than a little magical itself. Prepare to fall under its spell.

My Review: I so could not put this one down. I loved this story and the use of magic. I think this one would really work great for a spring or summer book at the beach, where you will hear the roar of the ocean and breeze on your skin. And well if you pass up that time of the year curl up on the couch grab a cup of coffee and read while you bundle up to stay warm.
This was such a magical tale that that was beautiful with lyrical writing that brought the story together. The characters were fabulous and fully developed and again I just could not put this one down. I loved how the story started out in the past then went to the present day. It was a great way to tell this story and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
I can not wait for the next installment which I hope is about Sarah!
