“I definitely enjoyed The Banned Bookshop of Maggie Banks. Maggie is a soul searching, high energy, purpose driven character who occasionally leans into her trickster tendencies to get herself both into and out of trouble. I enjoyed her journey into her best friend’s fictional Maryland town to do something as simple as running her bookshop in her absence, yet turning it into so much more. Overall, a good mix of comedy, romance, a little mystery, and a happy ending. Would definitely recommend to a friend.”

Summary
I, Maggie Banks, solemnly swear to uphold the rules of Cobblestone Books.
If only, I, Maggie Banks, cared about following the rules.
When Maggie Banks arrives to run her best friend's struggling bookstore, she expects to sell bestsellers to the small-town clientele. But with the town on the map as a top literary destination and the tourist society bent on keeping businesses historic, Maggie is banned from selling anything written this century. So, when a series of mishaps suddenly tip the bookstore toward ruin, Maggie will have to get creative to keep the shop afloat.
And in Maggie's world, bookish rules are made to be broken.
To help save the store, Maggie starts an underground book club—a series of events celebrating the books readers actually love. But keeping the club quiet, selling her customers the books they want, and dodging the historical society is nearly impossible. Especially when Maggie unearths a town secret that could upend everything.
Maggie will have to decide what's more important to her—the books that formed a small town's history, or the stories poised to change it all.
