I have started The Diary of a Bookseller (2017) by Shaun Bythell, which is exactly what the title promises. The author owns a used bookstore in Scotland, and this volume records his day-by-day experiences. I also have a couple of books by the same author on the same subject. So far, it can be summed up as proof positive that you don't want to be a bookseller, given the precarious financial aspects and the many annoying aspects of both employees and customers.
I take it that you liked the troublesome life of a bookseller. (Is it perchance based on a real life situation?)I have now started Confessions of a Bookseller (2019) by the same author, which has the exact same format consisting of a day-by-day account of a year dealing with the eccentricities of workers and consumers.

Gave up after 200 pages. Too much character building not enough action.I'm currently reading Wolf Winter, by Clare Francis.
She is definitely a brilliant writer of thrillers.
No, I'm afraid I don't think you are missing anything. I am aware that there are some here who love these books so I will restrict myself to pointing to my comments in the reviews sub forum.All Systems Red by Martha Wells

(Apologies for the boldness - can't seem to turn it off!)
A somewhat overpriced Novella that you could read in 2 hours. I'm surprised this has garnered such lavish praise as I can't find too much to redeem it so far. Not too fond of the writing style, and it seems a little trivial. "The Murderbot Diaries" seems like a title cooked up by a YA random title generator. Characters are unmemorable and, bar a few funny lines here and there, it's a bit of a slog to get through. What am I missing, here?
Halloween? Oh I don't do thatyou knoww... it's still to early for haloween... i know time goes by quickly but... speaking of that it floored me to discover amy winehosue had died 10 years ago... i thought 5 tops...
