The Bookstore Diaries
Published on: March 3, 2026
In The Bookstore Diaries, Jax is the owner of the Painted Lady Bookstore, a charming Victorian mansion she inherited. She loves her bookworm dream life but struggles with a need for control. Her world is turned upside down when an unhappy accident erases the names on the store’s private lockboxes where townspeople store their diaries.
To return the journals, Jax must do the unthinkable: read the secrets inside. As scandals and town secretsbegin to surface, Jax deals with her own personal chaos, including a questionable ex-husband and a handsome contractor who has his eyes on her. This heartfelt story explores how losing control and facing the truth can finally set a person free. It is a sparkling novel about family, sisterhood, and the unexpected magic found within the pages of a diary.
About the Author
Susan Mallery
#1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery writes heartwarming and humorous novels about the relationships that define women’s lives—family, friendship, romance. She’s best known for putting nuanced characters into emotionally complex, real-life situations with twists that surprise readers to laughter. Because Susan is passionate about animal welfare, pets play a big role in her books. Beloved by millions of readers worldwide, her books have been translated into 28 languages.
Critics have dubbed Mallery “the new queen of romantic fiction.” (Walmart) Booklist says, “Romance novels don’t get much better than Mallery’s expert blend of emotional nuance, humor, and superb storytelling,” and RT Book Reviews puts her “in a class by herself!” It’s no wonder that her books have spent more than 200 weeks on the USA Today bestsellers list.
Although Susan majored in Accounting, she never worked as an accountant because she was published straight out of college with two books the same month. Sixteen prolific years and seventy-four books later, she hit the New York Times bestsellers list for the first time with Accidentally Yours in 2008. She made many appearances in the Top 10 before (finally) hitting #1 in 2015 with Thrill Me, the twentieth book in her most popular series, the Fool’s Gold romances, and the fourth of five books released that year.
Susan lives in Washington state with her husband, two ragdoll cats, and a small poodle with delusions of grandeur. Her heart for animals has led Susan to become an active supporter of the Seattle Humane Society.
