One of the things I enjoy about being a bookseller, especially in a small town bookshop like ours, is that I get to share with you all my love of stories and the books that bring them to life. Spending hours sitting in the store speaking with each and every one of you about things we’ve all enjoyed, loved, hated, and honestly found meh makes me one of the happiest people in this world.

With that, I want to take this little space of mine and add a little bit of that conversation here on my site where I can add what I choose and do not have to worry about algorithms letting you know about it or not. This is Seymour’s little space on the internet, and here is where you will get a little glimpse of what is going on in the story world here at Seymour’s Little Shop of Books.

To start off these book reviews I first want to point out that the reviews you see will always generally be positive. Everyone has their own taste in reading. Literally in one day I spoke with two customers about the same exact book no more than an hour apart from each other and one marked it as one of their favorite of 2025. The other barely made it through to the end and only finished it because they are the type of person who always finishes a book.

Which one is correct?

Neither, and both. Each person has their own opinion and us as readers ourselves have to make our own opinion. That being said, I will always do my best to share with you all positive feelings toward a story or book. Let you know that I felt it was worth my time and that if you are so inclined you should do the same. If you decide to read it and don’t feel the same, then that is how you feel, but you got the chance to read and experience it yourself and make that decision. Should I give you a negative feeling toward the story or book and it could have been something you really loved, then it is shame on me because you missed something because of my personal opinion.

If I find something not to my taste, I will not share it here, as that is my opinion and I do not want to help shape yours. But, I do not have a problem sharing with you all the books I do find worth the time to read and that is what I will do.

To start off this glorious endeavor, I was able to receive an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) of T. Kingfisher’s Wolf Worm that comes out in March, 2026. Below is a brief paragraph as I do not want spoilers and this blog is already long enough. Reviews as I continue along may become more in-depth, but until then, please enjoy. 😀

Wolf Worm – T. Kingfisher – 3/26/2026

This is another great one from T. Kingfisher. Really fast read that sucks you right in with mystery from the beginning and a dark brooding horror that holds you tight long after you’ve closed the book. From the beginning to the end, you find yourself thinking you know where this is going until it hits you and everything just makes sense when you let yourself look at what you missed along the way because the story pulled you along. Terrific in its execution, a great horror that I can’t wait for others to get a chance to read.

Simple, yet expresses my enjoyment of the book. A solid 4.5/5 stars for me. I will have this in shop the first day I can so that those who love T. Kingfisher’s writing or want to give her a chance will have them here to find.
