Midnights on the Square

If you could rewrite the story of your own life, would you be brave enough to take a chance at true love? When writer Aurelia Lyndham inherits a London bookshop from her beloved aunt, she assumes the whispers she hears late at night are nothing more than her imagination-or a talkative burglar. She never expected that the shop was home to characters who could step straight out of the pages of classic novels and into her life.Spending every night with the cast of Sense and Sensibility, Little Women, and Anna Karenina may not ignite her personal life, but it certainly unlocks her long-standing writer's block. As she sets out to rewrite a character's tragic ending, Aurelia discovers that she just might be on the path to crafting her own happy ending, too. Praise for The Midnight Book Club"...[A] charming tale of a writer finding inspiration and a chance at true love via the characters in her favorite classic novels… The novel is an appealing blend of fantasy and romance, rooted in a love of classic novels. A delightful love letter to great literature." -Kirkus Reviews "In a love letter to readers and dreamers, debut author Andersen crafts a richly layered world in which beloved characters come to life… From the warmth of Marmee from Little Women to the wisdom of Sergeant Cuff from The Moonstone…readers will find themselves eagerly turning the page, breathless for more in this new series." -BookLife "Utterly charming… The Midnight Book Club will appeal to anyone who has ever lost themselves in the pages of a classic novel. Andersen brings famous literary characters to life-literally-and the results are delightful." -Elizabeth Everett, author of The Lady Sparks a Flame "Characters from classic stories nurture a grieving woman toward new love in the sweet, fantastical romance... [E]motive and uplifting..." -Foreword Clarion Review​ Emily lives in Maine, her recently adopted homeland, with her two cats. She owns too many books, likes tea and coffee (don't ask her to choose), and is currently knitting more projects than she can count. When she isn't writing, reading, or knitting, she's talking to the wildlife in her backyard. They haven't answered back-yet.

Return to Aurelia's magical bookshop in the second book in the Midnights On the Square series, featuring a brand new cast of beloved characters from the pages of classic novels. Now that writer and bookshop owner Aurelia has found love with her editor-turned-boyfriend Oliver, she has everything she's ever wanted-love, a published novel, and of course, friendship with the literary characters who visit her shop every night at midnight. But when Oliver moves in, sneaking off for late-night bookish meetups becomes a lot more complicated. As Aurelia works to keep her midnight gatherings secret, she can't shake the urge to help the downtrodden Harriet from Little Dorrit rewrite her story, but this time, crafting a new ending for a classic character proves to be a bigger challenge than before. Aurelia and Harriet will have to find their own voices so they both can claim the lives they deserve. Packed with all the warmth and bookish charm of the series debut, Booked at Midnight weaves together literary magic, enchanting romance, and the adventures of two women taking charge of their destinies … no matter the century. Praise for Booked at Midnight"Andersen sweeps readers into a delicious conceit in the follow up to The Midnight Book Club... continuing the series' exploration of literature's power to unite, reshape, and transform. Readers who love books about books-and find comfort in the idea that stories have lives beyond their covers-will find much to savor here.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​" -BookLife Reviews​"The supporting characters have a chance to shine ... [b]ut the heart of the project continues to be Aurelia's love of classic literature and the characters who make the stories come to life. A satisfying sequel that deepens the characters and storylines introduced in the first installment." -Kirkus Reviews
