I read this via the audio book, so I'll give separate ratings for the story and for the audio narration

audio: 5 stars
story: 4.5 stars

Travis Baldree is both the author and the audio book narrator of Bookshops & Bonedust, and I loved listening to both this. The different voices used for each character make it easy to distinguish which character is speaking and draws you into the story as if you're a part of each conversation and interaction. As far as the story goes, while I liked Legends & Lattes, I think I like Bookshops & Bonedust even better. This is due to a personal preference for the bookshop setting compared to the coffee shop, and I really found myself enjoying Fern and her pet, Pot Roast. I 

I highly recommend this, especially in the audio book form, for anyone looking for an engaging but low-stakes read.
