I live in an old farmhouse built in 1899. When we bought it, the house was in a state of disrepair with sagging floors, a leaking roof, rotted joists, and outdated plumbing. We spent months fixing and repairing, but my favorite part of the renovation is the new bookshelves in the living room.
I love how bookshelves complete a house, lending it gravitas, distinction, and beauty. Here is a snippet of some of my shelves with recent children’s books I’ve loved (When You Trap a Tiger, Coo, Lawless Spaces), a few antiques I’ve inherited (The Last of the Mohicans, Pinocchio), and some favorite adult novels (Fates and Furies, Special Topics in Calamity Physics). The floors in my house still sag a little and the water still takes too long to heat up, but I have a bookshelf filled with wonderful books and that goes a long way into making this house a home.

Little Women gets a Nevermoor twist in this bewitching novel about a young girl tasked to break a centuries-old curse or risk losing her beloved sisters.
Twelve-year-old Marigold Lafleur is the last of a long line of aromages: witches who blend scents into practical charms using aromagic. But ever since a terrible accident injured her father and damaged Luna Island, Marigold and her sisters, Birdie and Lou, have vowed to abandon their family legacy and mama’s way of life. Shunned by their neighbors and overlooked by their parents, Marigold relies on her big sisters above all else.
But when Marigold discovers a secret curse that threatens her family, her sisters can't stop the impending danger. It’s up to Marigold and her best friend, Sam, to uncover the origins of the curse and break the spell. To do so, she must learn to trust her instincts and believe in her own unique magic or risk losing her beloved sisters forever.
