The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman

I'm a Ravenclaw.'But unfortunately, what you want and what you get isn't always the same thing. And honestly, she wouldn't have it any other way. Her life comfortably circles around books. Tom, her greatest rival, can be a bit of a jerk and Nina takes extreme pleasure in showing him up. And on her wild days - she plays trivia at a local bar (provided it isn't one of the places she's been banned from) (it happens, okay?). Nina looked down and smiled.with the plentiful sarcasm and soothing rows of book spines. She has an adorable little apartment, a fabulous job at a local bookstore (Knight's), and a grumpy cat (Phil). 'No, I'd rather stay home and read.'Nina Hill's life is perfect as it is, thank you very much. 'I mean, I get that the universe whirls in mysterious yada yada, but wouldn't you rather travel the world?' Now you know that this one made the cut, check out my video review to see the others! I have read my way through 315 books to bring you my Top 10 Books of the Year (video). It's going to take a brand-new family, a persistent suitor, and the combined effects of ice cream and trivia to make her turn her own fresh page. It's time for Nina to come out of her comfortable shell, but she isn't convinced real life could ever live up to fiction. Hide in a corner of her apartment and rock back and forth. (Too drastic, plus she likes her hair.)Ģ. Completely change her name and appearance. Doesn't he realize what a terrible idea that is?ġ. It's a disaster! And as if that wasn't enough, Tom, her trivia nemesis, has turned out to be cute, funny, and deeply interested in getting to know her. They all live close by! They're all-or mostly all-excited to meet her! She'll have to Speak. When the father Nina never knew existed suddenly dies, leaving behind innumerable sisters, brothers, nieces, and nephews, Nina is horrified.

If she sometimes suspects there might be more to life than reading, she just shrugs and picks up a new book. The only child of a single mother, Nina has her life just as she wants it: a job in a bookstore, a kick-butt trivia team, a world-class planner and a cat named Phil.
