being asked for book recommendations. I
like to make recommendations by starting with a favorite book and suggesting

Trouble Brewing by Suzanne Baltsar
As I said in my
review of Trouble Brewing, this is a super cute book and an easy read. I would classify it as chick-lit or contemporary
romance, so this is where I focused my list.
Piper is also a strong heroine working hard to achieve her dreams. This week’s ABL Read-a-like will have books
that follow that theme: women living life, trying to achieve their goals,
finding some romance and drama along the way.

Her friends are stunned when Phoebe Swift abruptly leaves
a plum job at the prestigious Sotheby’s auction house to open her own vintage
clothing shop in London—but to Phoebe, it’s the fulfillment of a dream. In the
sunlight-flooded interior of Village Vintage, surrounded by Yves Saint Laurent
silk scarves, Vivienne Westwood bustle skirts, cupcake dresses, and satin gowns,
Phoebe hopes to make her store the hot new place to shop, even as she deals
with two ardent suitors, her increasingly difficult mother, and a secret from
her past that casts a shadow over her new venture.

For Phoebe, each vintage garment carries its own precious
history. Digging for finds in attics and wardrobes, Phoebe is rewarded whenever
she finds something truly unique, for she knows that when you buy a piece of
vintage clothing, you’re not just buying fabric and thread—you’re buying a
piece of someone’s past. But one particular article of clothing will soon
unexpectedly change her life.

everything on buying a tiny but adorable cottage so she can renovate it, sell
it on, and prove to her family that she can earn her own living. Outside, the

staircase, no downstairs flooring, candles the only form of lighting and a
sleeping bag and camping mat for a bed, Anna’s soon wondering whether she’s
bitten off more than she can chew. Her neighbor Chloe comes to the rescue,
providing tea, wine and sympathy – and a recently rescued greyhound, Caroline.
But just as Anna’s starting to believe she’s found the perfect idyll, the
good-looking yet impossible Rob Hunter arrives on the scene, putting up more
obstacles than the Grand National. Can Anna get over all of life’s hurdles?
